Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service opportunity titled "Implementation of the Native Trout Conservation Plan / Environmental Assessment" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1580110330) is a discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource work tied to native trout conservation planning and associated environmental assessment needs within the National Park System. The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project along with the recipient, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The work is being issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a framework used by federal agencies to partner with universities and other institutions for research, technical assistance, and education that supports resource management.
This notice is explicitly not a standard competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, meaning the agency has already selected the intended recipient and is not seeking proposals from the broader public. The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. In practical terms, the public posting functions more as an official transparency step than as an open call for applications. The eligibility section reinforces this by stating that the announcement is not a request for applications and that the award is intended as a single source award to Montana State University. The "Eligible Applicants" field is listed as "Others," but the accompanying eligibility information clarifies that there is no open competition and no application process for outside entities.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $107,905 and anticipates a single award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the federal funds. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which is a common artifact in some federal listings when a specific negotiated amount is provided elsewhere (here, the estimated total funding) or when the listing is not structured as a competitive program with a defined minimum and maximum per applicant.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on July 25, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 29, 2011, and it was archived on August 28, 2011. The very short posting window is consistent with a notice-of-intent, single-source action rather than an open competition. The associated CFDA number is 15.945, described as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with CESU-based cooperative agreements that support applied research and technical work for park resources.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement or having trouble retrieving it electronically, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392. Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a targeted, noncompetitive cooperative agreement action under the Rocky Mountain CESU to support implementation work related to a Native Trout Conservation Plan and an accompanying environmental assessment, with Montana State University identified as the sole intended recipient and approximately $107,905 in estimated federal funding.
