National Park Service Restoration of riparian willows | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service Restoration of riparian willows opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00670) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work within the National Park System, specifically involving restoration of riparian willow communities. The funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The notice indicates the award will be made through the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) as a task agreement, which is a common mechanism used by federal agencies to partner with universities and other research institutions on applied conservation, research, and technical support projects.

This announcement is explicitly a notice of intent rather than an open call for proposals. It is also identified as noncompetitive, citing Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for making a single-source award. In practical terms, that means the NPS is not soliciting applications from the general public or from multiple eligible entities; instead, the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is publicly documenting its intent to proceed with that partner under applicable federal and departmental rules.

The sole intended recipient is Colorado State University, and the announcement states that it is not a request for applications. While the listing includes a general eligible applicant category of "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility section clarifies the real scope: this particular funding action is designated as a single-source award to Colorado State University. As a result, other organizations should not expect a competitive opportunity or a pathway to apply under this posting.

Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $74,255, with an expected number of awards of one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which indicates the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which typically reflects that the posting is informational for a predetermined award rather than a competition with defined maximum and minimum request levels.

Key administrative dates show it was posted and created on June 25, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2013, and an archive date of July 31, 2013. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice-of-intent style publication, where the purpose is transparency and documentation rather than giving time for proposal development by outside applicants.

The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which relates to Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System. The central purpose, as described, is restoration work involving riparian willows, which generally refers to willows growing along streams, rivers, wetlands, and floodplains. Although the posting does not provide technical project details in the excerpt, riparian willow restoration in National Park contexts often supports streambank stabilization, habitat improvement for birds and other wildlife, improved riparian function, and broader watershed resilience, especially in areas affected by altered hydrology, grazing history, invasive species, or changing disturbance regimes.

For access or technical issues related to obtaining the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
