Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Mountain Pine Beetle Altered Forest Fuel Influences on Wildfire in Glacier National Park" is a discretionary funding action focused on natural resource research, specifically examining how mountain pine beetle impacts on forests may change fuel conditions and influence wildfire behavior in Glacier National Park. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to remain substantially involved during the project rather than simply providing funds and receiving a final report. The total estimated funding amount listed for this effort is $40,000, and the opportunity anticipates a single award.

This notice is not an open call for proposals. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award issued under the Department of the Interior policy reference DOI 505 DM 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service has already identified the intended recipient and is not seeking applications from other institutions or organizations. The eligible applicant information confirms this by stating the announcement is not a request for applications and that the award is intended for Colorado State University.

Administratively, the action will result in a task award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks that support collaborative research and technical assistance between federal agencies and participating academic and other partner institutions, and a "task award" generally refers to a specific, scoped project issued under the broader CESU cooperative framework. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement for the recipient, and the listing does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are shown as 0), which is consistent with some federal postings where the primary figure of interest is the estimated total funding rather than a competitive range.

Key dates in the posting indicate it was posted and created on July 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 6, 2010, and an archive date of August 5, 2010. Given that this is a notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, the short window aligns with the purpose of publicly documenting the agency's intent to make a directed award rather than collecting proposals.

For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
