Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Application of strategic wildfire and fuel treatment analysis to national program decision support Additional Funding" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIP14AC01057MOD1) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work related to wildfire and fuels management decision support. The basic purpose is to provide additional funding for work that applies strategic analysis of wildfire risk and fuel treatment options to support decision-making at a national program level within the NPS. In practical terms, this type of effort typically centers on analyzing where hazardous fuels treatments may be most effective, how wildfire behavior and potential impacts change under different treatment scenarios, and how to translate technical modeling and risk assessment into planning and prioritization tools that national-level managers can use across park units.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement under the CFDA program area 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). It is being issued through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), and the award is expected to be made as a task agreement under that CESU framework. CESUs are designed to support collaborative research, technical assistance, and training between federal agencies and partner institutions, often universities, so a task agreement under a CESU generally indicates a specific, scoped piece of work that builds on an established partnership mechanism rather than an open competition.
A key point of this announcement is that it is not an open call for proposals. The notice states that it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, consistent with Department of the Interior policy (cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The eligibility information makes this explicit by stating that the announcement is not a request for applications and that the award is intended for a single recipient: Colorado State University. While the "Eligible Applicants" field is listed broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the clarification removes any ambiguity by identifying this as a directed, single-source action rather than a competitive grant opportunity where multiple applicants would submit proposals for consideration.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on July 25, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 3, 2015, and an archive date of September 2, 2015. The short window is consistent with notices of intent for noncompetitive awards, where the "closing date" functions more as a public posting period than a true application deadline. The expected number of awards is one, and the estimated total funding amount is $60,000. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in records where the system fields were not used to express a per-award range, even though the announcement provides an estimated total funding amount. The cost sharing or matching requirement is listed as "No," indicating the recipient is not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Overall, this is best understood as additional funding to continue or supplement an existing line of work between NPS and Colorado State University under the Colorado Plateau CESU, aimed at improving national program decision support for wildfire and fuels treatment strategy. Anyone looking at this listing as a potential applicant should note that it is not a competitive solicitation and does not invite submissions from other organizations. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303, which is the appropriate point of contact for questions about the posting or difficulties retrieving the official documents.
