Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service 2017 Monitoring of Landbird Populations in Northern Great Plains I" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action intended to support natural resource monitoring work focused on landbird populations in the Northern Great Plains. The notice explains that the award will be made as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the project alongside the recipient, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The activity aligns with NPS priorities around scientific monitoring and stewardship of resources within the National Park System, specifically by tracking the status and trends of landbird populations, which are often used as indicators of ecosystem health.
This announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the Department of the Interior (DOI) policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is not seeking proposals from other organizations. The posting functions more as a formal public notification of the agency's intent to fund a specific partner rather than an invitation for new applications.
The award is to be issued through the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) mechanism, with the funding instrument listed as a cooperative agreement. CESUs are partnership networks that facilitate research, technical assistance, and education projects between federal agencies and eligible partners; in this case, the mechanism is being used to execute a task agreement for the landbird monitoring effort. The funding activity category is "Natural Resources," and the associated CFDA program listing is 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which supports research and monitoring efforts tied directly to NPS resource management needs.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $68,259. The announcement indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The listing shows an expected number of awards as 1, consistent with the single-source nature of the action. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the summary fields, which is often an artifact of how certain noncompetitive or internally scoped notices are entered into grants databases; the meaningful figure provided is the estimated total funding.
In terms of eligibility and applicants, the notice does not present broad eligibility because it is not open for applications. The "Eligible Applicants" field is effectively superseded by the statement that this is a single-source award. The eligibility information clearly states that it is not a request for applications and that the award is intended for the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory. This indicates that the NPS has selected that organization based on its capacity, expertise, or existing relationship relevant to monitoring landbird populations in the Northern Great Plains.
The timeline in the source data shows the opportunity was posted and created on August 29, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2014, and an archive date of October 2, 2014. Those dates reflect the administrative window for the notice of intent posting rather than a typical application period, since the announcement is not competitive. For anyone trying to locate the full documentation, the notice includes a contact for assistance accessing the full announcement: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
