Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Post Rim Fire assessment of fuel consumption and mortality in the Yosemite Forest Dynamics Plot" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00197) is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resources research within the National Park System. The project is intended to support a post-fire assessment tied to the Rim Fire, specifically examining fuel consumption and tree mortality patterns in the Yosemite Forest Dynamics Plot, a long-term forest monitoring site used to track changes in forest structure and dynamics over time. The core idea is to generate scientifically useful, management-relevant information about how a major wildfire affected fuels and forest mortality in a measured, plot-based setting, which can inform future fire ecology understanding and park management decisions.
This notice is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. In practical terms, that means the agency is signaling that it plans to issue one task agreement under an existing CESU mechanism rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants.
Only one award is expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,927. The listing does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both shown as 0), which commonly indicates that the agency is not using those fields to set a hard minimum or maximum beyond the stated estimate. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA program number associated with the opportunity is 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the announcement states it is a single-source award to Utah State University. Although the general eligibility field references "Others (see text field...)," the controlling eligibility statement clarifies that this is not a request for applications and is intended for a specific recipient. The timeline in the public notice reflects an administrative posting window rather than a period for competitive submissions: it was posted and created on March 12, 2014, had an original and current closing date of March 17, 2014, and was archived on April 16, 2014.
For parties trying to access the full announcement or supporting documentation, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303, with a note indicating assistance is available if there are difficulties accessing the announcement electronically.
