Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "A Multi Scale Program in Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland to Assess Change in the Acid Base Chemistry of Mountain Streams" is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement intended to support research and monitoring of how mountain stream chemistry is changing across multiple spatial scales in the Mid-Atlantic region. The project emphasis, as stated in the title and brief description, is on acid-base chemistry, which typically includes streamwater indicators tied to acidification and recovery processes such as pH, acid neutralizing capacity (ANC), alkalinity, sulfate and nitrate influences, base cations (like calcium and magnesium), and related watershed drivers that can affect aquatic ecosystem health. The geographic scope includes Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland, and the work is framed as a multi-scale program, suggesting integration of site-specific measurements with broader regional assessments, potentially linking headwater stream conditions to landscape factors and longer-term trends.
Administratively, this notice is not an open competition. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award under Department of the Interior policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C). The agreement will be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CW CESU), a cooperative framework that NPS and partner institutions use to carry out applied research, technical assistance, and resource stewardship work. Because it is structured through a CESU and identified as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the arrangement typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating or collaborating on the project scope, products, or implementation.
The opportunity lists one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $383,670. No award ceiling or floor is specified (both shown as 0), which usually indicates the agency did not set a public maximum/minimum range in the posting even though a total estimated funding level is provided. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. The CFDA number associated with the announcement is 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship), aligning the effort with resource monitoring and stewardship priorities.
Eligibility is effectively restricted because this posting is not a request for applications. The record states it is a single-source award to the University of Virginia, meaning other institutions or applicants are not being solicited and should not expect to submit proposals under this notice. The listing includes an "EligibleApplicants: Others (see text field...)" field, but the eligibility clarification directly states the non-application nature of the announcement and the intended recipient.
Key dates show it was posted and created on February 8, 2011, with an original and current closing date of February 11, 2011, and it was archived on March 13, 2011. Those short turnaround dates are consistent with informational postings for intended, noncompetitive awards rather than competitive solicitations.
