Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Plant Species Response to Climate Change opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00398) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work related to how plant species in the National Park System respond to climate change. Rather than operating as an open competition, it is issued as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award through the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, this means the NPS planned to fund a specific partner for a defined project under an existing CESU framework, using a task agreement under a cooperative agreement instrument.
This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. The eligible applicant pool is effectively limited because the award is designated as single-source, with the University of Arizona identified as the intended recipient. The noncompetitive approach is justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which outlines circumstances where a competitive process is not required. The listing notes that additional eligibility details exist in the full announcement, but the core message is that outside organizations were not being solicited to apply.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $60,095. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which commonly indicates that the specific financial terms are handled within the task agreement documentation rather than being expressed as a typical competitive grant range in the public synopsis. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on April 23, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 28, 2014, and an archive date of May 28, 2014. The short window aligns with the nature of a notice of intent for a planned single-source award, where the public posting functions more as a transparency and documentation step than as an application period.
For access or administrative questions, the point of contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303, with instructions to call if there is difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
