Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Restoration Monitoring for Lulu City Wetland" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00888) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resource work within the National Park System. The project is centered on restoration monitoring for the Lulu City Wetland, with the intent to support monitoring activities tied to wetland restoration outcomes and resource condition tracking. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation.
This announcement is specifically a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, it is not an open call for proposals and it is not requesting applications from the general public or a broad pool of institutions. Instead, it signals that NPS plans to issue a task agreement through the CESU mechanism, consistent with the Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which covers circumstances where noncompetitive awards are permitted. The listed eligible applicant category is "Others," but the eligibility details clarify the key point: this is intended as a single-source award to Colorado State University, indicating the recipient has effectively already been selected based on the CESU partnership framework and the project need.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, covering Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with research, monitoring, and applied science support for park resource stewardship. The estimated total funding for the action is $32,008, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that the action is meant to produce a single agreement rather than multiple awards across competing applicants. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as zero, which is common in notices that are not structured as competitive solicitations and may reflect administrative listing conventions rather than a meaningful funding range for applicants.
Key dates in the record show the opportunity was posted and created on June 9, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 18, 2015, and an archive date of July 18, 2015. Because this is a notice of intent rather than a request for applications, the "closing date" functions more as a formal posting window and public notice period than a deadline for proposal submissions. Anyone looking for full details beyond the summary fields would be expected to consult the attached announcement referenced in the description, though the core message is that the award is proceeding noncompetitively through the Rocky Mountain CESU to Colorado State University for restoration monitoring work at Lulu City Wetland.
