Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Implementing the Northern Rockies Fire Science Network to facilitate Fire Science Communications Idaho Node" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00146) is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support fire science communication and coordination activities in the Northern Rockies region, specifically through an Idaho-based node of the Northern Rockies Fire Science Network. The award is structured as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework commonly used by DOI bureaus to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and science delivery related to natural resource priorities. The overall activity area is categorized under Natural Resources and aligns with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, indicating that the effort is connected to research and training-type support that benefits park system resource management and related land management needs.
This announcement is not a competitive solicitation and is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive (single-source) award in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the agency is publishing the notice for transparency and administrative requirements, but it is not inviting proposals from the general public. The sole intended recipient is the University of Idaho, identified in the eligibility information as the only applicant for this award. The listing includes an "Eligible Applicants" category of "Others," but the accompanying clarification makes it clear that there is no open application process and no opportunity for other organizations to compete for the funding under this particular notice.
The anticipated award profile is straightforward: the National Park Service expects to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $37,351. The notice indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide mandatory matching funds as a condition of the agreement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies that the federal agency anticipates having substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant, such as collaborating on project direction, deliverables, or coordination activities associated with the fire science communication network.
Timing information in the record reflects that the opportunity was posted and created on March 27, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 1, 2013, and an archive date of May 1, 2013. Because the notice is not a request for applications, these dates function more as administrative milestones for posting and recordkeeping than as a deadline for competitive submissions. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is a common placeholder in systems when a specific maximum/minimum is not formally expressed in that field even though an estimated total funding amount is provided elsewhere.
