Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Assessing Humboldt Marten Prey Availability and Predator Abundance in Advance of Population Restoration" is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement intended to support research work ahead of a Humboldt marten population restoration effort. The project is structured as a task agreement issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a program framework that NPS uses to partner with universities and other research entities for applied science and resource management needs. The core purpose of the work, as indicated by the title, is to evaluate two key ecological factors that can strongly influence the success of any marten restoration: how much prey is available on the landscape and how abundant potential predators are. In practical terms, that kind of baseline assessment helps land managers understand whether habitat conditions and food webs are likely to support reintroduced or recovering martens, and it can inform where, when, and how restoration actions should proceed.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications and was issued as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award. The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for making a noncompetitive award, meaning the agency had already identified the recipient and was not opening the work up for competitive proposals. The only expected award is one, and the identified recipient is the University of Montana. In other words, the public posting functions mainly as a transparency step to document that NPS intended to fund a specific partner for a specific piece of work, rather than inviting multiple organizations to submit applications.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $71,088, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which typically indicates that the posting is not using those fields to define a competitive range because the amount and recipient are already predetermined under the task agreement approach. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally suggests NPS anticipated having substantial involvement in the project (for example, coordination on study design, data needs, field logistics, or integration of results into management decisions), as opposed to a more hands-off grant.
Administrative details show the opportunity was posted and created on June 21, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2013, and an archive date of July 26, 2013. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice-of-intent, single-source action rather than a standard open competition. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which is commonly used for NPS research and technical assistance partnerships that support stewardship of park resources.
