Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Climate Change and Avian Migration Phenology in the Great Plains Phase 2" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ2107100027) is a discretionary natural resources grant being issued as a cooperative agreement. It is structured as a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism the Department of the Interior uses to collaborate with specific research and technical organizations. The purpose of the project, as indicated by the title, is to support continued work (Phase 2) focused on how climate change is influencing avian migration phenology in the Great Plains, meaning the timing of key migration events such as arrival, peak movement periods, and departures, and how those timing shifts relate to environmental conditions and management needs in and around national park lands.
This notice is not a competitive solicitation and it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award in accordance with DOI policy (505 DM 2.12C). The announcement states that the intended recipient is the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, and eligibility is therefore limited in practice to that organization under the CESU task agreement approach. Because it is a noncompetitive, single-recipient action, the listing of "ExpectedAwards: 0" is best read as a data-field artifact rather than an indication that no award will be made; the narrative makes clear that the agency intends to execute an award as a task agreement.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $64,500. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly occurs in archived or notice-of-intent postings where the funding amount is described elsewhere or where standard grant portal fields were not populated in a typical competitive format. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), reflecting that the posting is being tracked administratively without a specific program CFDA identifier in the public-facing record.
The timeline indicates the notice was posted and created on September 14, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 19, 2010, and an archive date of October 19, 2010. Given that it is not open for applications, the short open window functions more as a public notice period rather than an application submission period. For access issues related to the full announcement materials, the point of contact provided is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392, with guidance to call if there are difficulties retrieving the complete announcement electronically.
In practical terms, this opportunity represents a continuation of specialized, partner-led research support where the National Park Service is using the CESU framework to advance science and management understanding of climate-driven changes in bird migration timing in the Great Plains. The focus on phenology typically supports park and landscape-level decision making by improving the ability to anticipate changes in species presence, align monitoring and management actions with shifting seasonal patterns, and evaluate broader ecological responses to climate variability and long-term climate change.
