Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent (NOI) to make a single, targeted award under an existing cooperative agreement to Sul Ross State University. The project focus is on continuing work in Big Bend National Park during "Year 2" of an effort to monitor and reduce (mitigate) the impacts of the saltcedar beetle on Athel trees within the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo Basin. In practical terms, the grant is centered on natural resource monitoring and management actions tied to a specific invasive or pest-driven ecological issue affecting riparian vegetation along an internationally significant river corridor.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using the cooperative agreement funding instrument, under the Natural Resources activity category. The catalog listing associated with the announcement is CFDA 15.916, which is identified as Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning. The NPS indicates it expects to make one award, and the estimated total funding amount is $27,000. There is no stated cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide a matching contribution as a condition of the award.
This is not presented as an open competition for broad applicant pools. Instead, eligibility is effectively limited because the NOI specifies that the NPS intends to issue a task agreement against an already-existing cooperative agreement and names Sul Ross State University as the intended recipient. The "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly categorized as "Others," but the accompanying eligibility language clarifies that this particular action is aimed at the named university partner rather than soliciting new proposals from the public. NOIs like this are commonly used when an agency is documenting its intent to proceed with a partner under an established agreement framework, often due to the partner's ongoing role, specialized capacity, or continuity needs for multi-year field monitoring.
The announcement timeline reflects the limited-solicitation nature of the action. The opportunity was posted and created on July 12, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 13, 2013, and it was archived on July 14, 2013. The very short posting window is consistent with a notice of intent tied to a pre-identified recipient and an existing cooperative agreement, rather than a standard competitive grant cycle with a longer application period.
For assistance obtaining or accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact at the National Park Service: Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, phone 505-988-6122.
