Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Advancing Social Science Contributions to Climate Change Response Planning" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ2340100017) is a discretionary funding notice focused on strengthening how the NPS incorporates social science into its climate change response planning. Rather than funding a broad range of independent research proposals, the intent is to support a structured collaboration with the NPS to assemble and convene a group of nationally recognized social scientists who specialize in climate change-related research. The underlying idea is that climate response planning is not only a natural resources and ecological problem, but also a human dimensions problem involving public attitudes, risk perception, community behavior, visitor use, communication, equity, governance, and decision-making under uncertainty. By convening experts who can bring these perspectives together, the NPS aims to improve the quality and usefulness of its climate planning efforts.
The opportunity is set up as an "Other" type funding instrument within the Natural Resources activity category, with an estimated total funding amount of $29,375. The award ceiling is the same as the total estimate ($29,375), the award floor is $0, and the program anticipates making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date are both February 11, 2010, and the original and current closing date is February 16, 2010, indicating a very short response window typical of a notice tied to a specific planned award. The archive date is March 18, 2010.
Eligibility is formally listed as "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," but the notice makes clear that this is a single-source action specifically intended for Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. The work is to be implemented through a task agreement issued under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement No. H23700094000). In practice, this means the NPS planned to use an existing cooperative framework to quickly execute the project with a designated partner institution rather than running a fully open competition. The notice also cites that the award is consistent with Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2), which generally governs circumstances and justification for certain assistance and agreement actions, including when single-source approaches are appropriate.
Operationally, the funded effort centers on establishing and convening a cadre of high-profile social scientists. That typically implies identifying leading experts, organizing meetings or workshops, facilitating structured input, and synthesizing recommendations that NPS managers and planners can apply. The deliverables are not spelled out in the short summary provided, but the described scope strongly suggests outcomes such as convening proceedings, a prioritized research and planning agenda for social science contributions, guidance for integrating social science into climate adaptation and response planning, and potentially recommendations for ongoing collaboration between the NPS and the social science community.
