Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Analyze Vegetation Monitoring Data Collected" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00083) is a discretionary funding action focused on natural resource work, specifically the analysis of vegetation monitoring data that has already been collected. The award is being made through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, such as coordination on methods, deliverables, or interpretation of results. The overall intent is to support work that helps the National Park Service better understand vegetation conditions and trends within units of the National Park System by turning monitoring datasets into usable findings.
This notice is not a competitive funding announcement and it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites the Department of the Interior policy framework (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive process. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service has already identified the recipient and is publishing the notice to document transparency and compliance with internal procurement and assistance rules rather than to solicit proposals from the public.
Colorado State University is identified as the sole eligible recipient for this action. While the listing includes a general "Eligible Applicants: Others" category, the accompanying eligibility statement clarifies that the funding announcement is solely for a single-source award to Colorado State University through the CESU mechanism. The opportunity anticipates one award, and it carries no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a required financial match as a condition of the award.
The estimated total funding amount is $30,394. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which commonly appears in postings where the total project amount is stated but the agency does not define a competitive range because there is no open competition. The funding is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted and created on March 6, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 11, 2013, and an archive date of April 10, 2013. Given the noncompetitive nature, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative timeline for posting and recordkeeping than a deadline for external applicants.
