Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service opportunity titled "Climate Change Impacts on Key Carnivores in the Northern Rockies" is a discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement through the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (RM CESU). Rather than being a typical open competition, it is published as a notice of intent for a single, noncompetitive task agreement award under Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C). In practical terms, this means the NPS is announcing that it plans to fund a specific partner for a defined piece of work instead of soliciting proposals from multiple applicants.
The project’s central purpose is to support research and analysis on how multiple large-scale pressures are likely to interact and affect key carnivore species in the Northern Rockies, specifically grizzly bears and wolverines. The work is focused on the transboundary Flathead and Glacier Park ecosystem, a landscape that spans major conservation areas and crosses jurisdictional boundaries. The scope emphasizes combined or cumulative effects, looking at climate change alongside habitat fragmentation and human activities, rather than treating each driver in isolation. The intended outcome is a stronger scientific basis for NPS and partners to understand risks to these species and to inform management decisions in a region where connectivity, changing environmental conditions, and human use all play major roles.
The only expected award is one cooperative agreement, with an estimated total funding amount of $71,000. The announcement lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, and both the award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which commonly appears in notices of intent and internal task agreement postings where the funding amount is otherwise stated but formal competitive limits are not relevant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the assistance listing is shown as "00.000 Not Elsewhere Classified," indicating it is not tied to a standard CFDA program line in the posting.
Eligibility is effectively restricted because this announcement is not a request for applications. The National Park Service specifies that it is a single-source award to the University of Montana, meaning other organizations are not being invited to apply. The posting dates reflect that intent: it was posted and created on April 7, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 12, 2010, and an archive date of May 12, 2010. Those short timeframes are consistent with a public notice of a planned noncompetitive award rather than a competitive grant cycle with proposal development time.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392. The funding opportunity number associated with this notice is NPS NOIJ1434100015.
