Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Develop Yampa River Flow Prescription and Long term Research and Monitoring Recommendations for Protection of River Resources in Dinosaur National Monument" is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement intended to support work on river management in Dinosaur National Monument. The core purpose is to produce a flow prescription for the Yampa River and to develop long-term research and monitoring recommendations aimed at protecting river-related resources within the monument. In practical terms, the project is about defining river flow conditions that best sustain ecological and resource values, and laying out a plan for how those conditions should be studied and tracked over time so managers can make informed decisions.
This notice is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly described as 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 states that the award will be issued as a task agreement under that CESU framework and cites DOI policy (505 DM 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding without competition. The eligibility language reinforces this structure by stating that it is not a request for applications and that the award is intended for Utah State University, meaning other organizations are not being invited to apply.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $46,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an expected number of awards of one, consistent with the single-source intent. Award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which commonly appears in archived notices where the specific funding amount is provided elsewhere or where the platform fields were not used in the usual way, but the estimated total funding amount is clearly stated as $46,000.
The timeline is short and reflects that this is an intent notice rather than an open competition. The posting date and creation date are May 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 17, 2011, and an archive date of June 16, 2011. The assistance listing includes a CFDA number shown as 00.000 (not elsewhere classified), which is sometimes used when a specific CFDA program number is not assigned in the public notice.
For access or administrative questions, the contact provided is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392, with the note that she can assist if the full announcement cannot be accessed electronically.
