Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Investigation of Seasonal Variations and Heat Flow for Selected Hydrothermal Systems Using High Resolution Airborne Remote Sensing and Spatial Modeling" is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support natural resource research within the National Park System. The project focus, as indicated by the title, is on studying how hydrothermal systems change across seasons and how heat moves through these systems, using high-resolution airborne remote sensing data combined with spatial modeling techniques. In practical terms, this suggests the work would likely involve collecting or analyzing airborne sensor imagery (for example, thermal or other remote sensing products), then using GIS-based and statistical or physical models to map and interpret heat flow patterns and seasonal variability across selected hydrothermal features in parks.
Administratively, this notice is not an open competition. It is a Notice of Intent (NOI) to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement explicitly states that it is being issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which covers circumstances under which noncompetitive financial assistance awards may be justified. The opportunity is therefore not a request for applications and is not soliciting proposals from the broader public or research community.
Funding is limited and targeted: the estimated total funding amount is $79,965, with an expected number of awards of one. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically means the agency is not using those fields to define a competitive range and instead is posting a fixed, anticipated amount or handling the final amount through the task agreement terms. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute a required non-federal share as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is also effectively closed. While the general eligibility field references "Others" and points readers to additional eligibility information, the announcement clarifies that this is a single-source award to Utah State University. That means the recipient has already been identified in advance, consistent with the CESU mechanism and the noncompetitive intent described.
Key identifiers and timing details include Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00656, with CFDA number 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The opportunity was posted and created on June 20, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2013, and an archive date of July 25, 2013. Those short dates align with a notice-of-intent posting that serves more as a public transparency step than a window for competitive submissions.
