Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Provide Internship Support and Technical Assistance to the Greater Yellowstone Network Monitoring Program and the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative" is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement intended to support work connected to monitoring and conservation efforts in and around the Greater Yellowstone area. The effort is structured as a task agreement issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a formal partnership mechanism used by DOI bureaus to work with research and academic institutions on ecosystem-related projects. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to provide internship support and technical assistance that strengthens two linked initiatives: the Greater Yellowstone Network Monitoring Program (which supports long-term monitoring in National Park Service units in the region) and the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (a broader collaborative framework focused on landscape-scale conservation).
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 authority described in Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The announcement states that it is not requesting applications from the public and that the award is intended for a specific recipient. The only identified eligible recipient is Montana State University, meaning other organizations are not being invited to apply and no open competition is planned for this action.
From a funding perspective, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $74,024 and anticipates a single award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project compared to a standard grant, often through collaboration on project direction, coordination, or technical participation. The CFDA listing associated with this opportunity is 15.945, identified as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with research, training, and applied technical support activities that benefit park resources and related conservation priorities.
Key timing details show the notice was posted and created on July 23, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 27, 2011, and an archive date of August 26, 2011. While the listing includes closing dates as part of standard federal posting fields, the text makes clear that the posting functions as a formal public notice rather than an application window, because the award is intended to be issued noncompetitively to the single named institution.
