Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service opportunity titled "Continued Development and Implementation of an All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) Program at George Washington Birthplace National Monument" is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support ongoing natural resource inventory and public-facing biodiversity work at the park. The project centers on continuing the development and implementation of an ATBI program, which is a comprehensive effort to document and better understand the full range of living organisms present in the monument, and it also includes running BioBlitz events. BioBlitzes are short, intensive survey efforts that bring together specialists, staff, students, and often community participants to find and identify as many species as possible within a set timeframe, usually with an emphasis on education, outreach, and hands-on science.
This notice is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. It is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award made under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites DOI policy (505 DM 2.12C) as the basis for the noncompetitive approach, meaning the agency has determined that Northern Arizona University is the intended recipient for this task agreement and that the award is being issued through the CESU partnership mechanism rather than opened up for applications from other institutions. As a result, the eligibility field effectively limits participation to the named partner, and the agency explicitly states that it is not requesting applications.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of the award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as collaborating on planning, coordinating field activities, shaping deliverables, or otherwise working closely with the university throughout implementation. The activity category is Natural Resources, reflecting the core focus on biological inventory, monitoring, and related research and education tied to resource stewardship.
The practical purpose of the award is to continue a structured biodiversity inventory program at George Washington Birthplace National Monument while also delivering public benefits through education and outreach. In this context, Northern Arizona University would work alongside the National Park Service to build the ATBI framework, support surveys and species documentation, and help organize BioBlitzes that connect scientific research with public participation. The announcement emphasizes that the work "includes education and research that serves the public," which signals that the project is meant not only to produce scientific information useful for park management, but also to engage visitors, students, and the community in learning about biodiversity and conservation in a national park setting.
Key timing details in the source listing show the notice was posted and created on May 18, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 22, 2010, and an archive date of June 21, 2010. Because it is a notice of intent for a single-source award rather than a solicitation, the short open period functions more as a public posting requirement than an application window. The listing also includes a point of contact for access issues: Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
