Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service posted a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOISAGU100076) titled "Multiyear Collaboration between the National Park Service and Southern AZ Buffelgrass Coordination Center for Education, Interpretation, Inventory, Monitoring, and Restoration of Lands Invaded by Buffelgrass." The opportunity was designed to support natural resource work focused on lands affected by buffelgrass, an invasive plant that can spread rapidly and alter desert ecosystems. The project scope, as reflected in the title, centers on coordinating and carrying out education and interpretation efforts, conducting inventory and monitoring to understand where infestations exist and how they change over time, and implementing restoration activities aimed at addressing areas invaded by buffelgrass.
This announcement is specifically a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award to the Southern Arizona Buffelgrass Coordination Center. In other words, it was not a competitive solicitation open to multiple applicants; instead, the agency indicated in advance that it planned to make one award to that named organization. The notice cites Department of the Interior policy (Department Manual 505 DM 2) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies that the National Park Service anticipated substantial involvement in the project alongside the recipient, such as collaboration on planning, implementation, or oversight of project activities.
Only one award was expected. The eligible applicant category is listed as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the intended recipient organization. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute additional cash or in-kind match as a condition of receiving the award. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which typically indicates the opportunity was not aligned to a specific preexisting CFDA program listing at the time of posting.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 25, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2010, and an archive date of August 31, 2010. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with the fact that this was a notice of intent for a noncompetitive single award rather than a broad call for proposals.
