Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding for a specific wildlife project called "Monitoring, and Outreach for Bald Eagles and Peregrine Falcons on the Channel Islands." It comes from the U.S. Department of the Interior and is posted as a public transparency notice rather than as a competitive funding announcement. In practical terms, it means the NPS is informing the public that it plans to provide funds to a particular partner for defined conservation and outreach work, and it is not inviting other organizations to apply.
The funding is being issued as a cooperative agreement in the Natural Resources category, with an estimated total funding amount of $391,523. The opportunity lists an expected number of awards as one, reflecting that the work is intended for a single recipient rather than multiple grantees. The posting also notes there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required financial match as a condition of receiving the federal funds.
The intended recipient is the Institute for Wildlife Studies, identified as a partner within the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, and the award would be executed through Task Agreement P15AC00122 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00676). The notice specifies that the NPS plans to proceed "without full and open competition," which is a standard way of describing a noncompetitive or sole-source-style assistance award in situations where the agency has determined a particular partner is the appropriate entity to carry out the work, often due to specialized expertise, continuity of long-term monitoring, established presence in the project area, or prior agreements that structure how work will be assigned.
While the notice does not provide a full work plan in the text shown, the project title clearly indicates two main activity areas: monitoring and outreach focused on bald eagles and peregrine falcons on the Channel Islands. Monitoring generally involves ongoing field and data work to track the status and trends of these raptor populations, such as surveying territories and nests, documenting breeding activity and productivity, tracking occupancy over time, and recording threats or disturbances that could affect nesting success. Outreach typically refers to public communication and education components that support conservation goals, such as sharing monitoring results with the public, engaging visitors and local stakeholders, and promoting behaviors that reduce disturbance to sensitive nesting areas. Because the work is tied to the National Park System, the underlying purpose aligns with protecting park wildlife resources while informing and involving the public.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified on Grants.gov with Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00024 and was posted on December 19, 2014, with an archive date of December 26, 2014. Both the original and current closing dates are listed as "THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," reinforcing that there is no application window and no competitive selection process associated with this posting. The CFDA number associated with the award is 15.945, tied to Cooperative Research and Training Programs for Resources of the National Park System, which fits the cooperative and research-oriented nature of wildlife monitoring projects in park units.
Eligibility in the listing is described generally as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but in this case that detail is largely informational because the NPS is not soliciting proposals; it is announcing a planned award to a specific nonprofit partner. For anyone needing access to the full announcement or having trouble viewing it electronically, the listed NPS contact is William Nash, Contract Specialist, at 415-623-2262 or WilliamNash@nps.gov, and an additional information link is provided through Grants.gov.
