Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Monitoring Sensitive Vegetation after the Loop Fire: Tracking Curlyleaf Muhly Grassland Recovery" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00733) is a discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work within the National Park System. The purpose is to support monitoring and research tied to post-wildfire vegetation recovery, specifically tracking the recovery of curlyleaf muhly grassland following the Loop Fire. The funding is intended to help the NPS understand how sensitive vegetation responds after fire, which can inform future management decisions, restoration priorities, and long-term resource protection strategies in affected park landscapes.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to be carried out in collaboration with the National Park Service rather than as a simple pass-through award. It is being issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative network used to partner with academic and other institutions on research, technical assistance, and resource management projects. The notice makes clear that this is not an open competition; it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified the partner and the project approach, and the posting is mainly to document the intent to award rather than to solicit proposals from the public.
Eligibility is correspondingly limited. Although the listing uses a broad category ("Others"), the eligibility section specifies that this announcement is not a request for applications and that the award is specifically intended for the University of New Mexico. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that the funding was planned for a single recipient rather than multiple grantees.
The estimated total funding amount is $29,200. No cost sharing or matching funds are required, which indicates the recipient would not need to contribute a formal non-federal match to receive the award. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, a common artifact in notices of intent or noncompetitive postings where the specific award amount is handled in the associated agreement documentation rather than defined as a competitive range in the public synopsis.
Key dates show how narrow the administrative window was for the posting: it was posted on June 28, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 3, 2013, and an archive date of August 2, 2013. These short timeframes are consistent with a notice-of-intent posting where the agency is meeting transparency requirements rather than running an extended competitive application period.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with the CESU framework and the research/monitoring emphasis of the project. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
