Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent for a cooperative agreement focused on understanding how climate change and related landscape pressures are affecting key carnivores in the Northern Rockies, specifically grizzly bears and wolverines in the transboundary Flathead and Glacier National Park ecosystem. The project title signals an emphasis on studying the combined, real-world effects of climate-driven environmental change alongside habitat fragmentation and human activities, with the goal of improving the scientific basis for conservation and management decisions in a region where wildlife populations and ecological processes cross jurisdictional and international boundaries.
Administratively, this is not an open competition and not a general call for proposals. The announcement is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the Department of the Interior authority cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. The funding vehicle is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordination, shared project direction, or collaboration on deliverables. The award is to be made through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a framework used to partner with universities and other institutions on applied research and technical assistance that supports federal land and resource management.
The opportunity lists one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $113,000. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both are recorded as zero), which typically means the posting is not structured like a standard competitive grant with defined minimum and maximum award sizes, consistent with the noncompetitive, predetermined recipient nature of the action.
Eligibility is restricted in practice because this announcement is not seeking applications from the public. The eligibility field notes that it is a single-source award to the University of Montana. While the system category for eligible applicants is broadly labeled "Others (see text field...)," the narrative eligibility statement clarifies that the recipient has already been identified and that outside applicants should not prepare or submit proposals.
Key dates reflect the administrative posting window rather than a true application deadline: it was posted and created on July 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 6, 2010, and archived on August 5, 2010. The short interval between posting and closing is another indicator that the notice functions primarily as a public transparency step for a planned noncompetitive award rather than an opportunity intended to solicit and evaluate multiple proposals.
The federal opportunity identifier is Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ1434100036, categorized as discretionary funding with an activity category of natural resources. A CFDA number is not specified in a meaningful way (listed as 00.000, "Not Elsewhere Classified"), which can occur in notices that are administrative in nature or where the standard catalog listing is not emphasized.
