Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Resilient Landscapes Use of NEXRAD Doppler Radar data to assess hydrologic function during watershed restoration and fire management" is a discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource work in the National Park System. The project focus, as stated in the title and description, is the use of NEXRAD Doppler Radar precipitation data to evaluate hydrologic function, especially in the context of watershed restoration activities and fire management. In practical terms, this kind of effort typically involves using radar-based rainfall estimates to understand how storms translate into runoff, erosion, infiltration, and overall watershed response, and then applying that understanding to guide or evaluate restoration treatments and post-fire or fire-risk management decisions.
This funding is being issued as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement in the work (for example, collaboration on study design, data use, analysis approaches, or integrating results into park management). The funding activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which is commonly used for research and technical assistance activities that directly inform stewardship and management of park resources.
A key point about this notice is that it is not an open competition. The announcement explicitly states it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). It will result in a task agreement award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework the NPS uses to collaborate with academic and other partners. The opportunity is designated as a single-source award to the University of New Mexico, meaning other entities are not being invited to submit applications for this particular funding action. Consistent with that, the eligibility field notes that this funding announcement is not a request for applications, and it lists "Others" only with the clarification provided in the eligibility information text.
In terms of scale and timing, the opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $42,300. There is no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which typically reflects that the funding amount is handled through the specific task agreement rather than through a competitive range. No cost sharing or matching is required. The notice was posted and created on July 31, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 9, 2015, and it was archived on September 8, 2015. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
Overall, this is a targeted NPS research and applied management support award, executed through the Colorado Plateau CESU, aimed at improving how the NPS assesses watershed hydrologic function using NEXRAD radar data in situations where restoration and fire management actions depend on understanding rainfall-driven watershed behavior.
