Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00927) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to fund a project focused on conserving cutthroat trout in the Lamar River watershed by improving scientific understanding of their life history patterns and population genetic structure. The core purpose is to generate information that can be used to develop or refine conservation and management strategies for cutthroat trout within the watershed, which is part of the broader natural resource stewardship mission of the National Park System. In practical terms, the work implied by the title involves documenting how these trout live and move through their environment over time (life history) and analyzing genetic differences among groups of fish (population genetics) to understand connectivity, isolation, and potential conservation units within the watershed.
Administratively, this is not an open competition. The announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications and is instead a single-source, noncompetitive award to Montana State University. The award will be issued as a cooperative agreement and will be implemented through a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The noncompetitive approach is justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is cited in the notice as the basis for proceeding without full and open competition.
The opportunity falls under the discretionary category with a natural resources activity focus, and it is tied to CFDA number 15.945, identified as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. Only one award is expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed. While award ceiling and floor are shown as $0 in the summarized fields, the estimated total funding indicates the project’s anticipated overall federal investment.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on June 13, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 17, 2014, and an archive date of July 17, 2014. Because the announcement is a notice of intent for a single-source award rather than a competitive solicitation, the short window functions more as a public notice period than a traditional application deadline.
For questions or for assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed NPS contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable at 303-969-2303.
