Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Extent and Contributing Factors of Delayed Post Fire Morality" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00855) is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement intended to support research related to delayed tree mortality following wildfire. The project sits under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The central purpose is implied by the title: to evaluate how widespread delayed post-fire mortality is and to identify the factors that contribute to it, which can help park managers better understand fire effects, improve post-fire monitoring, and inform longer-term restoration or hazard planning in affected park landscapes.
This notice is not an open competition and it is not a general request for applications. It is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive (single-source) award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement explicitly cites the Department of the Interior policy framework for noncompetitive awards, referencing 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is commonly used to document and justify single-source actions when a specific partner is uniquely qualified or when the work is being carried out through an established cooperative unit structure like a CESU. Consistent with that approach, the listed eligible applicant category is effectively limited by the announcement: the award is intended as a single-source action to the University of Colorado Boulder, rather than a call inviting proposals from multiple institutions.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $43,228. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both are shown as $0), which typically indicates the funding amount is governed by the specific task agreement terms rather than a broader range meant for a competitive pool of applicants. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the work (for example, collaborating on study design, facilitating access to park sites or datasets, coordinating with park staff, or participating in interpretation of results and application to management).
Timing details reflect how quickly this type of noncompetitive notice can move. The opportunity was posted and created on June 6, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 10, 2014, and it was archived on July 10, 2014. In context, the short posting window aligns with the fact that this is not a request for competing applications but rather a public notice tied to an intended award.
