Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Monitor and mitigate the effects of saltcedar beetle on Athel Trees in the Rio Grande Rio Bravo Basin" under Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIBIBE120032. The activity falls under the Natural Resources category and is associated with CFDA 15.916 (Outdoor Recreation: Acquisition, Development and Planning). The stated purpose is to support work that tracks (monitors) and reduces (mitigates) the impacts of the saltcedar beetle on Athel trees within the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo Basin, which is a cross-border river system where riparian vegetation conditions can affect habitat quality, bank stability, shade, and broader ecosystem function.
This notice is not a wide-open competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly described as a notice of intent to award a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, with Sul Ross State University identified as the intended recipient. In practical terms, that means the NPS is signaling that it plans to direct this specific piece of work to a partner it already has an established cooperative relationship with, rather than soliciting proposals from the general public. The eligibility field reinforces that point by indicating "Others" and clarifying in the eligibility text that the intent is to award to Sul Ross State University through that existing agreement mechanism.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $32,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. Both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $0, which typically indicates that the posting is primarily informational for an intended award rather than structured like a traditional competitive grant announcement with defined minimums and maximums. The NPS expected to make one award.
In terms of timing, the opportunity moved very quickly. It was posted and created on August 9, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 10, 2012, and it was archived on August 11, 2012. That short window is consistent with a notice-of-intent style posting where an agency meets transparency requirements while proceeding with an award to a named partner.
