Opportunity Summary:
This National Park Service funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00596) supports a focused natural-resources research project asking whether managed wildfires and prescribed fires can conserve the kinds of forest habitat structure considered critical for Pacific fishers. The project is being handled through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) as a task agreement, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. In practical terms, that means the work is intended to be a collaborative research effort between NPS and a partner institution under the CESU framework, rather than a typical open competition.
Administratively, this notice is explicitly not a request for applications. It is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, citing Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding without competition. The announcement identifies Utah State University as the intended recipient, and the eligibility language reinforces that the opportunity is limited to that single-source arrangement rather than being open to the broader research community. The “Eligible Applicants†field is listed as “Others,†but the clarification is that the award is directed to Utah State University.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with the activity area listed as Natural Resources. It is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The National Park Service expects to make one award. The estimated total funding amount is $45,929. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing shows award ceiling and floor as $0, which commonly indicates that a fixed ceiling/floor was not entered in the system record even though an estimated total amount is provided.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on May 13, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 18, 2014, and an archive date of June 17, 2014. Because this was not an open solicitation, the “closing date†functions more as an administrative timeline for the notice period rather than a deadline for competitive applications.
For additional details or if the full announcement could not be accessed electronically, the point of contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303. The sponsoring agency is the National Park Service.
