Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Developing and Integrating Landscape Scale Context into Natural Resource Condition Assessments" is a discretionary cooperative agreement associated with the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The purpose of the effort is to support work that strengthens National Resource Condition Assessments (NRCAs) by adding broader, landscape-scale context, meaning the analysis is intended to extend beyond individual park boundaries to consider surrounding ecological conditions, stressors, and trends that influence park resources. The project sits in the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System.
This posting is not an open call for proposals. It is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award, issued under the Department of the Interior authority described in 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the recipient and is documenting its intent to fund that specific organization rather than soliciting competing applications. The announcement explicitly states that it is a single source award to Utah State University, and the "Eligible Applicants" line reflects that by pointing to additional eligibility information rather than offering a broad eligibility pool. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, the work is expected to involve substantial involvement by the National Park Service in coordinating, collaborating, or guiding technical aspects of the project as it proceeds, which is typical for CESU task agreements.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $62,611. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which commonly appears in systems postings when the agency does not use those fields to define a competitive range, especially for notices of intent or single-source actions where the total estimated amount is provided separately.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00499MOD, a posted and created date of May 6, 2015, and a closing date of May 10, 2015, with the archive date of June 9, 2015. Even though a closing date is listed, the notice makes clear it is not requesting applications, so the date functions more as an administrative timeline for the posting rather than a deadline for submitting proposals. Anyone needing access to the full announcement was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
