Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Cutthroat Trout Conservation Capacity Building in Yellowstone National Park" is a discretionary natural resources funding action that is being issued as a notice of intent rather than an open competition. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under the NPS Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), meaning the work is intended to be carried out in close coordination with NPS staff and priorities, with substantial federal involvement typical of CESU-supported projects.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it documents NPS intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive task agreement award to Montana State University, and it cites the applicable Department of the Interior policy authority for noncompetitive actions (DOI 505 DM 2.12C). In practical terms, that means no other applicants are being solicited or considered through this posting, even though the listing appears in standard grants systems and includes typical administrative fields used for competitive opportunities.
The purpose indicated by the title is to build conservation capacity focused on cutthroat trout in Yellowstone National Park. While the brief public synopsis does not provide project methods or deliverables, the framing suggests support for activities that strengthen the park's ability to conserve and manage native cutthroat trout populations, which can include research support, monitoring capacity, coordination, or other applied conservation work carried out through the CESU partnership framework.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number is NPS NOIJ1580100275. The posting date and creation date are July 29, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 3, 2010, and an archive date of September 2, 2010. The estimated total funding amount associated with the action is $102,649. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. It also lists an expected awards value of "0" and award floor/ceiling values of "0," which is consistent with how some notice-of-intent, noncompetitive, or task-agreement actions are recorded in grants databases rather than indicating the absence of funding.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design: the announcement states the award is a single-source action to Montana State University. The general eligibility field reads "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the clarifying eligibility information makes clear that this is not open for applications. Anyone seeking additional details or having trouble accessing the full announcement is directed to contact Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
