Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Implementation of the Native Trout Conservation Plan, Phase II (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00514) is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service (NPS) focused on natural resource work tied to native trout conservation in units of the National Park System. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the supported work rather than a simple pass-through grant. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System, signaling that the work is intended to support applied research, technical assistance, and/or training that directly benefits NPS resource stewardship.
This posting is not a competitive solicitation. It is a formal notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks designed to link federal agencies with universities and other partners to conduct research, technical assistance, and education that address resource management needs. The announcement explicitly cites the Department of the Interior policy basis for the noncompetitive approach (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is the departmental authority used to justify certain single-source awards when appropriate. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified the intended partner and was not seeking proposals from the broader public.
The sole expected award is one task agreement issued under the Rocky Mountain CESU, and the identified recipient is Montana State University. While the general "Eligible Applicants" field is broad ("Others"), the eligibility statement clarifies that this is not a request for applications and that it is a single-source award to Montana State University. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
The estimated total funding amount is $226,867. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically reflects a data-entry convention in legacy postings rather than implying no funding; the actual intended amount is captured in the estimated total funding figure. The posting timeline shows it was posted on June 5, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 10, 2013, and an archive date of July 10, 2013. With noncompetitive notices like this, the short "closing" window is usually administrative and tied to public notice requirements rather than a period during which competing applications are accepted.
Anyone needing access to the full announcement materials was directed to contact the NPS grants management point of contact, Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
