Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Parks, People and Prey Direct and Indirect Effects on Mountain Goat Ecology in Glacier NP" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action focused on natural resource research in Glacier National Park. The project topic, as stated in the title, centers on understanding how human presence and predator-prey dynamics can directly and indirectly influence mountain goat ecology, which typically includes issues like habitat use, movement patterns, stress and behavior, population dynamics, and interactions with predators and other wildlife in a national park setting.
This notice is not an open, competitive solicitation. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive award under the Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency had already identified a specific recipient and justification for making a single-source award rather than inviting proposals from the broader research community. The announcement explicitly states that it is not a request for applications and that the award is intended for one organization: the University of Montana. The mechanism for the award is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination on study design, data sharing, field logistics, and alignment with park management needs, rather than simply providing funding with minimal agency engagement.
Administratively, this award is being issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education. By using the Rocky Mountain CESU, NPS is leveraging an established cooperative framework to support applied research relevant to park management, particularly in the natural resources arena.
The opportunity was posted on June 18, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 24, 2013, and it was archived on July 24, 2013. The short window aligns with its purpose as a notice-based, single-source action rather than a competitive call for proposals. The estimated total funding amount is $123,000. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as $0), which commonly appears in systems when a specific funding amount is already determined or when the agency is not using the ceiling/floor fields in the typical competitive sense. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
In terms of classification, the opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and references CFDA number 15.945, associated with Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System. The record indicates there is expected to be one award, consistent with the noncompetitive, single-recipient nature of the notice. For anyone needing access to the full announcement or supporting documentation, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
