Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a formal Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Lichen Inventory for the Southwest Alaska Network." This announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation and is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that NPS intends to fund specific project work through a pre-existing partnership mechanism, and to do so without full and open competition.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement and is tied to Task Agreement Number P12AC15015 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8W07110001) with Oregon State University. Oregon State University is participating as a partner within the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, which is a framework commonly used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities on research, inventory, monitoring, and other science-based natural resource work. In practical terms, the notice signals that NPS has identified OSU as the intended partner for carrying out the lichen inventory activities in the parks and protected areas that make up the Southwest Alaska Network.
The opportunity is categorized under discretionary funding and falls within the Natural Resources activity area. It is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. NPS expected to make a single award, and the funding amount was fixed: both the award ceiling and award floor were listed at $135,000, indicating an anticipated total project value of $135,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement described, meaning the recipient was not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Key timing details show this notice was posted on August 22, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 23, 2012, and an archive date of September 22, 2012. Because it was not a request for applications, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative window for posting and recordkeeping rather than a deadline for proposal submissions. Eligible applicants were listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the intended awardee being a public university (Oregon State University), though the core point of the notice is that the agency had already selected its partner under the established CESU arrangement.
For questions or for assistance accessing the full announcement, the notice provided a point of contact: Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 415-623-2251.
