Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Monitoring Landbird Populations in Northern Great Plains I" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00909) is a discretionary funding action that the agency issued as a notice of intent rather than an open competition. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient, which is typical for projects involving coordinated field monitoring, shared protocols, and ongoing technical direction.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it announces a planned single-source, noncompetitive award to the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory. The National Park Service cites the Department of the Interior policy basis for this approach (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), indicating the agency has determined a direct award is appropriate under its internal noncompetitive award authorities. The work will be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a cooperative framework commonly used by DOI and partner institutions to facilitate research, technical assistance, and science support for natural resource management.
The project falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and aligns with CFDA 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System." The overall intent, as reflected in the title and program context, is to support monitoring of landbird populations in the Northern Great Plains, which generally helps parks and resource managers track population status and trends, evaluate habitat conditions, and inform management decisions over time. While the short synopsis provided does not list specific methods, monitoring efforts of this type often involve standardized survey designs, consistent field protocols, data management and analysis, and reporting that can be used for long-term ecological assessment.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $64,500, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date are both July 18, 2013, and the closing date is July 23, 2013, with an archive date of August 22, 2013. Only one award was expected. The listing shows award ceiling and floor as $0, which commonly appears in postings where the exact structure is defined through the task agreement rather than a competitive range, or where the funding amount is described elsewhere in the attached announcement.
For administrative questions or help accessing the full announcement materials, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
