Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Developing methods for monitoring change in conifer cover across biophysical gradients in national parks" is a discretionary grant action being issued as a Cooperative Agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The purpose of the effort, as stated in the title and description, is to support the development of methods that can track and measure changes in conifer (cone-bearing tree) cover across different biophysical gradients within national parks. In practical terms, this implies work focused on creating or refining monitoring approaches that can detect how conifer distribution or density shifts in response to variables such as elevation, temperature, moisture, soils, aspect, disturbance history, or other environmental gradients that influence vegetation patterns in park landscapes.
This notice is explicitly not a competitive solicitation. It is a Notice of Intent (NOI) to make a noncompetitive, single-source award in accordance with Department of the Interior policy cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. The announcement states that the award will be made through a task agreement under the CESU framework, which is commonly used by the National Park Service to partner with universities and other research institutions for applied science, monitoring, and technical assistance projects. The eligible applicant information clarifies that this is not a request for applications from the general public and that the intended recipient is Montana State University. Because it is a single-source action, the listing shows "ExpectedAwards: 0," reflecting that it is not structured as an open competition where multiple awards might be anticipated.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ2146107010. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the total estimated funding amount is listed as $50,123. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal share as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which is typical for postings that are informational notices rather than competitive announcements with defined award ranges. The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," a placeholder-style designation that sometimes appears in older or administrative listings where a more specific assistance listing is not provided in the public summary.
The timeline included in the source data indicates the notice was posted on July 29, 2010, with creation dated August 2, 2010. The original and current closing dates are both August 3, 2010, and the archive date is September 2, 2010. Since this is not an application-driven opportunity, the short "closing date" functions more as an administrative marker for the posting rather than a deadline for submitting proposals from external applicants.
