Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Forecasting in Support of Adaptive Management of the RMNP elk herd" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00784) is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resource management within the National Park System. The work is aimed at improving forecasting capacity to support adaptive management decisions for the elk herd associated with Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP). In practical terms, the project is meant to strengthen how the park anticipates and evaluates elk population and related ecosystem outcomes so managers can adjust strategies over time using the best available science.
This notice is not an open competition and is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award. The award is to be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework used by NPS to collaborate with academic and other partners on research and technical assistance. The noncompetitive approach is justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which covers circumstances where competition is not required. Because it is not a request for applications, there is no standard applicant pool, proposal review process, or opportunity for other entities to apply.
Colorado State University is identified as the sole eligible recipient for this action. The opportunity lists an expected number of awards of one, confirming the single-award intent. The associated CFDA number is 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
In terms of funding scale and timing, the estimated total funding is $33,712. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically indicates the agency did not publish minimum or maximum award bounds in the standard fields, rather than implying no funding will be provided. The notice was posted and created on June 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 6, 2014, and an archive date of July 6, 2014. Those short timeframes align with how notices of intent for noncompetitive awards are often posted: they function mainly as public disclosure and documentation of intent rather than as a solicitation window for competing applications.
The awarding agency is the National Park Service. Anyone having trouble accessing the full announcement electronically is directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
