Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Implementation of a Long Term Monitoring Protocol for American Pika within Two National Park Service Units" is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement intended to support sustained monitoring of the American pika in two NPS park units. The notice is not structured as an open competition. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive task agreement award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The stated purpose is to implement a long-term monitoring protocol, which typically means establishing consistent field methods and schedules so pika presence, distribution, and related ecological indicators can be tracked over time in a way that supports park management and scientific understanding.
This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications and does not invite proposals from the general public or multiple institutions. Eligibility is effectively limited because the award is designated as single-source to the University of Idaho. The noncompetitive nature of the award is justified under Department of the Interior policy, specifically DOI 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which covers circumstances under which a noncompetitive award may be appropriate. Because it is routed through the CESU network, the arrangement is designed to facilitate cooperative research and technical support between NPS and an academic partner, with the cooperative agreement instrument typically implying that NPS expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordinating methods, access, data standards, or reporting).
Key administrative details include an expected total funding amount of $61,000 and a single anticipated award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIR2126110013, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. The posting and creation date are June 18, 2011, with a closing date of June 22, 2011, and an archive date of July 22, 2011. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is often used in postings like this when the agency is not soliciting applications and therefore is not defining competitive award ranges in the usual way.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement or encountering issues retrieving it electronically, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
