Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Evaluating the Application of MODIS Data to Monitoring Response to Climate Change at Multiple Scales" is a discretionary natural resources grant being issued as a Cooperative Agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The purpose of the effort, as indicated by the title and program context, is to evaluate how MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) satellite data can be used to monitor ecological or environmental responses to climate change across multiple spatial scales. MODIS is commonly used for large-area, repeat-coverage remote sensing applications, so the project is positioned around testing and refining its usefulness for climate-response monitoring in park-relevant landscapes and management contexts.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications and is being released as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award. The announcement states the award will be made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy referenced as DOI 505 DM 2.12C, which covers circumstances where noncompetitive agreements are justified. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the recipient and is publishing the notice for transparency and administrative processing rather than to solicit proposals from multiple organizations.
The opportunity anticipates a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $65,266. There is no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as $0), which typically indicates the funding amount is fixed or controlled within the agreement rather than offered as a range for applicants to propose against. Cost sharing or matching is not required, lowering financial barriers for the recipient and indicating the project is intended to be fully supported by the federal funding provided.
Eligibility is effectively restricted because this is a single-source action. While the listing shows "Others" as the eligible applicant category, the eligibility notes clarify that the award is intended specifically for the University of Arizona. As a result, other universities, nonprofits, tribes, state agencies, or private entities are not being invited to apply under this announcement, and no competitive selection process is planned.
Key administrative dates reflect the notice-of-intent nature and the short publication window: it was posted and created on August 5, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 10, 2010, and an archive date of September 9, 2010. Because the announcement is not a solicitation, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submission.
