Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Pikas In Peril: Multi Regional Vulnerability Assessment of a Climate Sensitive Sentinel Species, Year 3" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR2126110010) is a discretionary grant action intended to support natural resource research focused on pikas, a well-known climate sensitive species often used as an indicator, or sentinel, for detecting and understanding ecological impacts of climate change. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expects to be actively involved in the work alongside the recipient rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement. The project is framed as the third year of an ongoing effort, suggesting it continues prior work rather than launching a brand-new study.
This announcement is not an open competition and is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award. The National Park Service indicates the agreement will be issued as a task agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership mechanism used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education projects. The authority cited for the noncompetitive approach is Department of the Interior policy in 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is the internal framework agencies use to justify and document circumstances where competition is not pursued.
The only expected award is one, and the recipient is identified in the eligibility information as the University of Idaho. The listing makes clear that even though it appears on a grants portal like other funding opportunities, it is not a request for applications and other entities should not prepare or submit proposals in response. The total estimated funding amount is $26,913, with no stated minimum (award floor) or maximum (award ceiling) beyond that estimate. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the agreement.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on June 3, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 7, 2011, and an archive date of July 7, 2011. It is tied to CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with research and collaboration activities supporting national park resources. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
