Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "National Park Service Implement Cooperative Study to Understand Bat Ecology of Pipe Spring National Monument and the Kaibab Paiute Reservation" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ1510100370), is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources research. The intent is to support a cooperative study aimed at improving understanding of bat ecology in and around Pipe Spring National Monument and the Kaibab Paiute Reservation. The opportunity is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, indicating the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds, which is typical for collaborative research, monitoring, and resource-management projects.
The announcement is explicitly a notice of intent rather than an open competition. It is issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework and is described as a noncompetitive (single-source) award made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the recipient and is not soliciting proposals from the broader public. The eligibility field reinforces this by stating the funding announcement is not a request for applications and that it will be issued as a single-source award to Southern Utah University. The "Eligible Applicants" category is listed as "Others," with clarification provided in the eligibility narrative, which again signals that this is not an open, general-eligibility funding opportunity.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the estimated total funding amount listed is $40,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an expected awards count of 0, which commonly appears in postings that are informational notices rather than competitive solicitations with anticipated multiple awards. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0, which often indicates the listing is not being used to define a range for competitive awards, but instead to post an administrative notice tied to a specific agreement. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," a placeholder classification sometimes used for opportunities that do not map neatly onto a single standard CFDA program listing.
The timeline in the source data shows the opportunity was posted and created on August 31, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2010, and an archive date of October 4, 2010. Given the very short window between posting and closing, and the stated single-source nature of the award, the dates function more as public notice and recordkeeping rather than a realistic application period. Anyone looking for the full project scope, deliverables, and technical details would need to review the attached announcement referenced in the description, since the public synopsis mainly provides the administrative context and the purpose statement rather than a full statement of work.
For questions about accessing the complete announcement, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392. This contact detail is specifically framed for assistance with electronic access to the full announcement, which aligns with the notice format and its role as a public posting of an intended cooperative agreement action rather than an invitation for competing submissions.
