Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Developing Approaches for Restoring the Vegetation of Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8813110052) is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement intended to support work on vegetation restoration strategies in Tuolumne Meadows within Yosemite National Park. The notice indicates the award will be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework the NPS uses to collaborate with universities and other research entities on applied conservation, research, and resource management needs.
This posting is a notice of intent rather than an open call for proposals. It explicitly states it is not a request for applications and that the award is noncompetitive under Department of the Interior authority (DOI 505 DM 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the agency has already selected the recipient and is publishing the announcement for transparency and documentation rather than to solicit competing submissions. The sole intended recipient identified in the eligibility information is Colorado State University, and the eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," with the clarification that this particular announcement is single-source.
The opportunity was posted and created on May 11, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 15, 2011, and an archive date of June 14, 2011. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a noncompetitive notice, since there is no expectation of external applications. The estimated total funding amount is $204,819. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which often appears in system records for notices that are not structured as competitive grant competitions with defined per-award ranges, even though the estimated total program amount is provided.
From an administrative standpoint, the listing indicates there is one expected award and the instrument type is a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project, such as collaboration on project design, oversight, or joint participation in implementation, which fits applied restoration work in a high-profile national park setting. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), suggesting the activity was not mapped to a standard CFDA program listing in the public-facing record.
For anyone needing the full announcement but unable to access it electronically, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
