Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service opportunity titled "National Park Service Assessment of Grassland Habitat Quality and Management Practices for Pollinators" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00499) is a discretionary funding action that the agency posted on April 20, 2015, with a closing date of April 24, 2015, and an archive date of May 24, 2015. It sits within the Natural Resources activity category and is administered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to be carried out collaboratively with substantial involvement from the National Park Service rather than as a simple pass-through grant.
This announcement is a notice of intent rather than an open competition. It explicitly states that it is not a request for applications and that the award is noncompetitive, issued under the Department of the Interior policy authority cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The work will be executed through a task agreement under the National Park Service Great Plains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a framework used by NPS and partners to support research, technical assistance, and training connected to ecosystem management priorities.
The award is structured as a single expected award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $43,500. No cost sharing or matching requirement applies. The notice also lists no specific award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0), which typically indicates that the definitive funding terms and any budget boundaries are handled within the associated task agreement documentation rather than in the public synopsis.
Eligibility is not broadly open. Although the listing includes "Others" as the general eligible applicant category, the eligibility statement clarifies that this is a single-source award specifically to Oklahoma State University. In practical terms, that means other organizations cannot apply for this funding because the recipient has already been identified and justified under the applicable noncompetitive authority.
Programmatically, the project focus is the assessment of grassland habitat quality and the evaluation of grassland management practices as they relate to pollinators. While the synopsis does not provide detailed tasks, the title and context indicate applied ecological work intended to inform how grasslands in or associated with National Park System resources are managed to support pollinator populations, likely tying habitat condition and management actions to pollinator outcomes and management recommendations.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. For access issues with the full announcement materials, the point of contact provided is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
