Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent tied to the Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) and is focused on understanding how climate change is influencing birds, while also supporting the training of international biologists. The instrument is a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, and the work is structured as a task agreement award issued through the CESU framework, which is commonly used by NPS to partner with organizations that can provide research, technical assistance, and training aligned with park resource priorities.
The announcement is not an open competition and is not a request for applications. Instead, it is explicitly described as a single-source, noncompetitive action made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The eligible applicant noted for this action is the Nature Conservancy, indicating that NPS planned to award the agreement directly to that organization rather than solicit proposals from the broader public. Because it is noncompetitive and targeted to a specific recipient, other organizations would not be able to apply through a standard grants.gov-style process for this particular funding notice.
Financially, the estimated total funding amount is listed as $31,000, with no stated award ceiling or floor (both are shown as $0, which typically reflects that a precise ceiling/floor was not populated in the listing rather than meaning the award value is zero). The opportunity indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to contribute a required non-federal match as a condition of the award. Only one award was expected.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted and created on July 10, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2013, and it was archived on August 14, 2013. Those dates, combined with the single-source language, reinforce that this was essentially an administrative public notice about an intended award rather than a window for competitive submissions.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. That CFDA alignment fits the stated purpose: conducting research on climate change impacts on bird populations (or bird ecology and related indicators) and integrating a training component for international biologists, likely involving field methods, monitoring approaches, data analysis practices, and applied conservation planning within or connected to national park units in the Desert Southwest CESU region.
For additional details or for anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement materials at the time, the listed point of contact was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
