Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Migratory Species Workshop and Program Design, Phase 2 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI WASO 2340110052) is a discretionary funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), under the environment activity category. It is published as a Notice of Intent, which means the agency is announcing its plan to make an award rather than conducting an open competitive solicitation. In this case, NPS states it intends to award a task agreement under an existing CESU agreement (H2370094000) to the University of Montana. The project is described as a continuation of work that began several years earlier, indicating this Phase 2 effort is meant to build on an established body of work, likely carrying forward prior workshop outcomes, planning frameworks, coordination structures, or program design elements related to migratory species in the National Park System.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. While the short public description does not spell out deliverables, the title suggests two main components: organizing or supporting a migratory species workshop and advancing program design work. In practical terms, projects like this often focus on convening partners, synthesizing information, developing recommendations, and creating implementation-ready plans or tools that can be used across parks and regions to address migratory species management needs. Because the notice explicitly labels this as Phase 2, it implies that Phase 1 already established some foundational workshop products or a preliminary program structure, and this follow-on phase is intended to refine, expand, and formalize that work.
The anticipated award profile is straightforward: NPS expects to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. The award ceiling is also listed as $30,000, with a floor of $0, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing includes CFDA number 15.945, tied to Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System, which is consistent with a university-based partner assisting NPS with research coordination, training, convening, and program development functions.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the stated intent to work with the University of Montana. The notice was posted and created on August 30, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 3, 2011, and an archive date of October 3, 2011. The short closing window is also typical of a Notice of Intent posting where the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is satisfying public notice requirements.
