Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Develop a Restoration Plan for Cahoon Meadow, Sequoia National Park, CA" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00243) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action focused on natural resources work in Sequoia National Park. The project centers on creating a restoration plan for Cahoon Meadow, which suggests the primary deliverable is a planning document or set of technical recommendations intended to guide future on-the-ground meadow restoration activities. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS likely expects to remain actively involved during the project period through collaboration, technical input, coordination, and/or shared decision-making rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation.
This notice is explicitly a notice of intent rather than an open call for proposals. It is described as a noncompetitive, single-source award made under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, that means NPS is not soliciting applications from the general public or from multiple competing organizations. Instead, NPS is announcing its intent to make one task agreement award through the CESU mechanism. The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy authority (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for making the award noncompetitively, which is commonly used when an agency has a justified reason to select a specific partner rather than run a competition.
Eligibility is therefore limited in effect, even though the listing uses the general category "Others" for eligible applicants. The eligibility field clarifies the real situation: this is not a request for applications and it is intended as a single-source award to Colorado State University. The expected number of awards is one, aligning with the single-recipient, noncompetitive structure. The associated CFDA listing is 15.945, tied to cooperative research and training programs and resources of the National Park System, which fits a project aimed at research-informed planning and resource stewardship within a national park.
From a funding perspective, the estimated total funding amount is $36,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically indicates the public notice is not using those fields to define a competitive range because the action is not a competitive solicitation. The timeline is short and consistent with a notice of intent: the posted and created date is March 31, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 4, 2014, and an archive date of May 4, 2014. These dates reinforce that the notice is largely informational and administrative rather than a window for applicants to submit proposals.
For anyone seeking more detail beyond the summary fields, the announcement notes that additional information is contained in an attached announcement document. If there are access issues obtaining the full announcement electronically, the point of contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
