Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Alpine Biodiversity and Soils Monitoring Utilizing the Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments (GLORIA) Field Methods opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ2119100113) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action focused on natural resource monitoring in alpine environments. The work is tied to GLORIA field methods, which are widely used standardized approaches for tracking alpine biodiversity patterns and related environmental conditions over time. In practical terms, the intent is to support on-the-ground monitoring of alpine ecosystems, including vegetation and soils, using consistent protocols so that results can be compared across sites and years.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not asking the public for proposals. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating, guiding, or collaborating on the funded work rather than simply issuing funds with minimal engagement. The notice cites DOI policy (505 DM 2.12C) as the authority for using a noncompetitive approach.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the announcement specifies that the action is a single-source award to Colorado State University. The listing shows “Eligible Applicants: Others,” but the accompanying eligibility language clarifies that this is not an open request for applications and is intended for the named recipient rather than a broad applicant pool.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $63,926, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows expected awards as 0 and sets the award ceiling and floor at 0, which is common in archived notices of intent where the agency is announcing its intent rather than posting a finalized competitive package with standard award ranges.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on July 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 27, 2010, and it was archived on August 26, 2010. Because it is a notice of intent for a single-source cooperative agreement, these dates function more as an administrative posting window than a typical application deadline.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
