Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Economic Analysis of Brucellosis Management in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00577) describes a planned, noncompetitive cooperative agreement focused on natural resource management in and around the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The core purpose is to support an economic analysis related to brucellosis management, meaning the work is expected to examine the costs, benefits, and broader economic tradeoffs associated with different approaches for managing brucellosis in this region. Brucellosis is a disease that can affect wildlife and livestock, and management decisions often involve multiple stakeholders and competing priorities, so an economic analysis can help decision-makers understand the financial and resource implications of various management strategies.

This announcement is explicitly a notice of intent rather than an open call for proposals. It states that it is not a request for applications and that the award will be made as a single-source action to Montana State University. The planned award mechanism is a task agreement issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework commonly used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and applied science activities. Because it is being issued under CESU, the agreement is framed as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard contract, which typically implies that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, coordination on scope, review of deliverables, and alignment with management needs).

From an administrative and compliance standpoint, the National Park Service cites Department of the Interior policy authority for making a noncompetitive award, referencing 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with an activity category of natural resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. The total estimated funding amount listed is $38,259, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning the recipient is not required by the announcement to provide a financial match as a condition of the award. The listing indicates a single expected award.

The timeline reflects how narrow the administrative window is for this type of notice. The opportunity was posted on June 13, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 18, 2013, and an archive date of July 18, 2013. In practice, because this is not an open competition and is intended for a specific recipient, these dates mainly function as public notice milestones rather than a typical application period for multiple applicants.

For anyone needing the full announcement materials but having trouble accessing them electronically, the notice provides a point of contact: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392. Overall, the announcement serves primarily to document and publicly communicate the National Park Service's intent to issue a single-source CESU task agreement to Montana State University to conduct an economic analysis supporting brucellosis management decision-making in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
