Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) issued a grant notice titled "Monitoring of Bird Communities Notice of Intent to Award" (Funding Opportunity Number WASO NPS P13AC00996). The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs: Resources of the National Park System) and is categorized under an education-related funding activity. The announcement was posted on July 31, 2013, with an application window that closed on August 9, 2013, and it was later archived on September 8, 2013.
The project focus is long-term ecological monitoring. Specifically, the NPS aims to continue implementing a set of rigorous, well-integrated protocols designed to track bird communities over time within units of the Southern Colorado Plateau Network (SCPN). The stated purpose is not to develop a new monitoring approach, but to keep an established monitoring system running consistently so that bird population and community trends can be measured reliably across years. This matters for park resource management because consistent monitoring data can be used to detect changes associated with habitat shifts, climate patterns, land use pressures, or other environmental stressors that affect bird species and the ecosystems they represent.
This award covers the initial phase of a larger two-phase project. In this first phase, the work centers on conducting monitoring of landbirds and associated habitat characteristics in two of the six SCPN park units selected for landbird monitoring: GRCA (Grand Canyon National Park) and WUPA (Walnut Canyon National Monument). In addition to field monitoring, the scope includes data analysis and the preparation of written reports, meaning the project is expected to produce both raw and processed monitoring data as well as interpretive deliverables that summarize results in a form usable by NPS staff and partners.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $116,000, with an award ceiling of $116,000 and no stated award floor (listed as $0). The opportunity indicates an expectation of up to two awards. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," but the listing clarifies that this particular announcement is not a standard open proposal competition; it is a notice of intent to award under an already existing cooperative agreement. In practical terms, that means the NPS was signaling its plan to make an award to an existing partner rather than soliciting new proposals from the general public.
For administrative questions or help accessing the full announcement, the NPS provided a point of contact: Jaime Mijares, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2755 or by email at jaimemijares@nps.gov.
