Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Multi Year Collaboration between The Wildlife Society and the National Park Service to protect and conserve Wildlife in Parks" is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) funding notice for a cooperative agreement designed to support wildlife protection and conservation work in U.S. National Parks over a five-year period. The announcement describes the effort as a long-term collaboration between NPS and The Wildlife Society (TWS), focused on strengthening wildlife conservation outcomes in park units by connecting park needs with the scientific and professional capacity of the broader wildlife community. The funding instrument is explicitly a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the partner rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it is posted as a single-source determination under Department of the Interior policy (cited as 505 DM 2). In practical terms, that means the agency is justifying an award to one specific organization rather than running a fully open competition. The justification given is "unique qualifications," meaning the agency believes TWS brings distinctive strengths that are not readily matched by other potential applicants. The notice points to TWS's specialized technical expertise and its ability to support wildlife professionals through research-based information, policy resources, and professional networking. It also emphasizes that TWS represents a large professional community that includes scientists, managers, educators, technicians, and planners who actively work on wildlife and habitat conservation in many contexts, ranging from forests and wetlands to endangered species recovery, disease management, human-wildlife conflict mitigation, and biodiversity conservation.
The opportunity frames TWS as uniquely positioned because of the breadth and reach of its membership across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and other countries, and because it produces practical, objective, science-anchored tools and information in both print and electronic formats. The underlying idea is that NPS can leverage TWS's networks and knowledge products to improve how wildlife issues are addressed in national parks, ensuring that management approaches remain grounded in current science and shared professional practice. The overall goal is to enhance the ability of wildlife professionals to conserve diversity, sustain productivity, and ensure responsible use of wildlife resources for societal benefit, with the parks serving as a focal point for that work.
From an administrative standpoint, the posting lists one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $16,800 and states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicant category is "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education," aligning with the intent to work through a specific nonprofit partner. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIR2340090039, and it is categorized under natural resources. Important dates included a posted date of July 1, 2009, with an original and current closing date of July 10, 2009, and an archive date of August 9, 2009, indicating the opportunity is historical and no longer active.
