Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Annual Evaluation and Development of Benchmarks for Lake Trout Suppression in Yellowstone Lake" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00499) is a discretionary funding action focused on natural resource management within the National Park System. The work centers on Yellowstone Lake and is specifically aimed at supporting the annual evaluation of lake trout suppression efforts and developing benchmarks to measure and guide the effectiveness of those suppression activities over time. In practical terms, the project is about establishing and refining measurable performance targets and evaluation methods that help managers understand whether lake trout control actions are achieving desired ecological outcomes and how to adjust strategies year to year.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, indicating that the National Park Service expects substantial involvement in the project, such as collaboration on study design, evaluation criteria, interpretation of results, and coordination with ongoing park management activities. The award is issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework commonly used to facilitate applied research and technical assistance between federal agencies and participating institutions, especially universities, on ecosystem and resource management priorities.
Importantly, this notice is not a request for applications and is not open competition. It is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award, consistent with Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The eligible recipient is explicitly identified as Montana State University, meaning other organizations are not being solicited to apply and should not expect to compete for the funding under this announcement. The listing still provides standard federal assistance metadata, but it functions primarily as public documentation of the government’s intent to fund a specific partner for a defined purpose.
The National Park Service anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $85,165. The posting date and creation date were June 3, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 10, 2013, and an archive date of July 10, 2013. No cost sharing or matching requirement is included, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which is a common way some postings reflect that a fixed ceiling/floor is not being used in the public summary even though an estimated total amount is provided.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which relates to cooperative research and training programs and resources of the National Park System. The contact provided for access issues or questions about obtaining the full announcement is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392. The announcement also notes that additional details are available in an attachment, which would typically include the specific scope of work, deliverables, reporting expectations, timelines, and the technical approach expected for evaluating suppression benchmarks.
