Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Geomorphic Vegetation Mapping in the Escalante River Riparian Corridor Using Airborne High Resolution LiDAR and Multispectral Imagery" is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement intended to support the creation of detailed geomorphic and vegetation mapping products for the Escalante River riparian corridor within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The core purpose is to develop high-resolution datasets that describe both landform characteristics (geomorphology) and plant communities (vegetation) in a river corridor setting, using airborne high-resolution LiDAR along with multispectral imagery. In practical terms, this kind of work typically produces spatial layers and maps that managers can use to better understand channel conditions, floodplain surfaces, riparian structure, vegetation distribution, and related resource concerns that are important for conservation, planning, and long-term monitoring.
This notice is explicitly not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent for a single-source, noncompetitive task agreement award issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The award is being made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C, which covers circumstances under which noncompetitive awards may be appropriate. Utah State University is identified as the sole recipient, with the university working in coordination with the National Park Service to produce the mapping and associated datasets. Because it is routed through the CESU framework, the emphasis is on a collaborative research and technical support relationship that aligns federal land-management needs with university expertise.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ2121100002. The instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, and the program lists an expected single award. The posting date and creation date are both May 10, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 14, 2010, and an archive date of June 13, 2010, indicating the public notice period has long since passed and the action was intended to move quickly to award. The estimated total funding amount is $68,547, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity lists award ceiling and floor as $0, which often appears in records when the agency is not using the ceiling/floor fields in a typical competitive-grant way, especially for a predetermined single-source agreement.
Eligibility is effectively restricted to the named partner. While the listing includes a broad eligibility category (with a note to see additional eligibility details), the description clarifies that this is a single-source award to Utah State University, meaning other institutions or applicants are not being invited to apply. For anyone needing more information or experiencing difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted, partner-specific agreement aimed at producing advanced spatial data products for riparian resource management. By combining airborne LiDAR (commonly used to generate precise elevation models and terrain derivatives) with multispectral imagery (commonly used to classify vegetation and assess plant community patterns), the project is designed to give the National Park Service a much sharper picture of the physical river corridor and its vegetation, supporting science-based stewardship in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
