Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Long Term Population Trends of Schmolls Mikvetch and its Response to Fire and Post fire Mitigation" is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement focused on natural resource research and monitoring. The project centers on Schmoll's milkvetch, a plant of conservation interest, with the main goal of tracking long-term population trends and evaluating how the species responds to wildfire and to actions taken after fires to reduce damage or speed recovery (post-fire mitigation). In practical terms, the work implied by the title would involve repeated field monitoring over time and analysis comparing conditions before and after fire events, and potentially across areas where different mitigation approaches were applied.
This announcement is not an open competition and it is not requesting applications from the public. It is a Notice of Intent (NOI) to make a single-source, noncompetitive award under the Department of the Interior authority cited as "DOI 505 DM 2.12C." The award is being issued through the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism NPS uses to support research, technical assistance, and cooperative projects with partner institutions. The announcement explicitly states that the intended recipient is Colorado State University, meaning eligibility is effectively limited to that institution for this specific action.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement or collaboration by the federal agency during the project (as compared with a standard grant). The expected number of awards is one. The estimated total funding amount is $27,000, with no stated minimum or maximum award level (award floor and ceiling are both listed as $0, which generally reflects how the listing system captured the information rather than indicating the project has no budget). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement identified.
Key dates show how narrow and procedural this notice is. The opportunity was posted and created on March 16, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 20, 2011, and an archive date of April 19, 2011. Those dates align with a notice process rather than a typical competitive solicitation, reinforcing that this was published mainly to document the intent to award noncompetitively rather than to collect proposals. The listing includes a CFDA number shown as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," which is a generic placeholder used when a more specific catalog number is not provided in the posting.
For anyone needing the full text but unable to access it online, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIJ1496110022, which can be used to reference the notice in records or when communicating with the agency.
