Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Development and Implementation of the Landbird Monitoring Protocol for the Northern Great Plains Network, Phase 1" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR2107110011) is a discretionary funding action focused on natural resource monitoring within units of the National Park System. The intent is to support the first phase of work to develop and begin implementing a standardized landbird monitoring protocol for the Northern Great Plains Network, which typically involves designing consistent field methods, sampling strategies, and data handling approaches so bird populations and trends can be tracked over time across multiple parks.
This opportunity is being issued as a notice of intent rather than a competitive call for proposals. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service is not soliciting applications from the general public or multiple organizations. Instead, the agency is proceeding with a single-source, noncompetitive award under the Department of the Interior authority cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, collaborating on study design decisions, coordinating with park staff, aligning protocols with network monitoring needs, and ensuring the work meets NPS scientific and reporting standards). The award is expected to be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework that allows NPS to collaborate with designated research and technical organizations through streamlined agreements.
The announcement indicates there will be one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $76,225. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which commonly appears in system records for notices that are not true open competitions and where standard ceiling/floor fields are not being used in the usual way. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, covering Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System.
Eligibility is explicitly limited because this is not a request for applications. The notice states that the funding action is a single-source award to the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, meaning that organization is the intended recipient and other entities are not being invited to compete. The posting dates show it was initially posted on August 1, 2011, created on August 4, 2011, and had a very short administrative window with an original closing date of August 5, 2011, later updated to August 9, 2011, with the record archived on September 4, 2011. Those dates reinforce that the posting functions mainly as a public transparency notice about an intended noncompetitive cooperative agreement rather than an open grant solicitation.
