Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Measure Recent Change in Mexican Spotted Owl Habitat" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00683) is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement issued under CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. The announcement describes an effort to measure recent changes in habitat for the Mexican spotted owl, a species of high conservation concern in the Southwest where land management, wildfire, drought, and forest structure changes can directly affect habitat quality and availability. The project is structured as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism commonly used by DOI agencies to carry out applied research and technical work with participating universities and other partners.
This notice is not a request for applications and does not represent an open competition. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to Northern Arizona University. The National Park Service cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding noncompetitively. In practical terms, that means the agency has already selected the recipient organization and is publicly posting the notice to document the planned award and maintain transparency, rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants.
The opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $26,800. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing includes an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically indicates that the specific funding amount is handled through the associated task agreement documentation rather than expressed as a competitive range. Key dates show it was posted and created on June 24, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2013, and an archive date of July 28, 2013. Because this is a single-source notice rather than a competitive call, the short window primarily functions as an administrative posting period rather than a period for applicants to prepare and submit proposals.
Eligibility is effectively limited to the identified partner (Northern Arizona University), even though the system field lists "Others (see text field...)" as a general category. The eligibility clarification explicitly states that the announcement is not requesting applications. Anyone seeking additional details or experiencing difficulty accessing the full announcement is directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
