Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Bat Hibernacula Inventory and Microclimate Monitoring Study, Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument" is a discretionary cooperative agreement tied to natural resource research and monitoring within Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument. The work described is focused on identifying bat hibernation sites (hibernacula) and tracking the microclimate conditions within those sites, which typically includes factors like temperature and humidity that influence bat survival and habitat suitability. The purpose, in practical terms, is to improve the Park Service's understanding of where bats overwinter in the monument and what environmental conditions characterize those locations, information that can guide resource management decisions and conservation planning.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation. 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 cites noncompetitive award authority consistent with DOI policy (505 DM 2.12C), meaning the agency had already identified the intended recipient and was publicly documenting its intent to proceed in that manner rather than requesting proposals from multiple applicants. The eligible applicant language reflects that approach: while the general category is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility clarification states the award is specifically intended for Northern Arizona University.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $45,966, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which is common in notices that are not structured as open competitions and are instead documenting an internal planned agreement amount or a task agreement under a broader cooperative framework. The listing shows "ExpectedAwards: 0," which aligns with the fact that it is not requesting applications; it is effectively an informational posting about a planned single award rather than an invitation that would result in competitively selected awards.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted and created on August 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 24, 2010, and an archive date of September 23, 2010. The short open window is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting, where the agency is meeting public notice requirements rather than running a typical multi-week or multi-month competitive application period. The funding opportunity number for reference is NPS NOIJ8230100244, and the activity is categorized under Natural Resources. The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which generally indicates the activity does not map neatly onto a standard CFDA assistance program code or that it was entered as a placeholder.
