Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Active restoration of Riparian Willows after fire" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00773) is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement intended to support post-fire recovery work in riparian areas, specifically targeting willow communities. The project is framed as active restoration, which typically means hands-on interventions to help willows re-establish or recover after wildfire impacts, rather than relying only on passive natural regeneration. The award is to be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework the NPS uses to collaborate with research and academic institutions on resource management, science, and training needs across the region.
A key point of this notice is that it is not an open competition. The posting is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award, made under the Department of the Interior policy authority cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency already identified the intended recipient and is publishing the notice to document the rationale and compliance for awarding without soliciting proposals from the broader public. The eligibility section makes this explicit: "This funding announcement is not a request for applications" and the award is designated as a single-source award to Colorado State University. As a result, other organizations should not expect to apply for this particular opportunity, since no application competition is being conducted.
The opportunity anticipates one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $29,367. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a formal non-federal match as a condition of the award. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System, aligning the work with NPS resource stewardship, applied research, and technical capacity building. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is common in certain federal listings where the system fields are not used in a conventional way and the real expected funding level is instead conveyed through the estimated total funding figure.
Timing information indicates the notice was posted and created on May 30, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 3, 2014, and an archive date of July 3, 2014. Because it is a noncompetitive notice tied to a single recipient, the short window functions more as an administrative posting period than as a typical application window. Anyone needing the full announcement but having trouble accessing it electronically is directed to contact the NPS grants management specialist listed: Kelly Adams, phone 303-969-2303.
