Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "National Park Service Assess application of strategic wildfire and fuel treatment analysis to national program decision support ph 2" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00774) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work, specifically on evaluating how strategic wildfire and fuels treatment analysis can be applied to support decision-making at the national program level. In practical terms, it is aimed at advancing the second phase of work that helps the NPS improve how it prioritizes, plans, and justifies wildfire and vegetation/fuels treatments using analytical methods that inform program-wide decisions rather than only site-by-site actions.
This is not an open competition and it is not a standard grant solicitation where multiple applicants submit proposals. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement explicitly states that it will result in a task agreement award and that the noncompetitive approach is being used in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The eligible applicant information makes the intent even clearer: the announcement is not a request for applications, and the planned recipient is Colorado State University. Because it is routed through a CESU, the anticipated structure is a cooperative agreement with substantial collaboration between the NPS and the recipient institution, which is typical for CESU task agreements that support applied research, technical assistance, and science-driven management needs.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the NPS expected to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The listing references CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly indicates that a fixed ceiling was not specified in that particular posting format, even though an estimated total funding amount is provided. The posting date and creation date are July 2, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 8, 2013, and an archive date of August 7, 2013. That short window also aligns with a notice-of-intent posting rather than an open call, since the main purpose is transparency about the government’s plan to award noncompetitively rather than to gather applications.
For anyone needing details beyond the summary fields, the notice indicates that additional information is contained in an attached announcement. The listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at (303) 969-2392, specifically for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
