Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Small Mammal inventory and species assessment project for the Weippe Prairie Site is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding opportunity focused on natural resource work, specifically documenting and evaluating small mammal species at the Weippe Prairie Site. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is intended to be carried out with substantive involvement from the NPS rather than as a simple grant with minimal agency participation. The overall purpose is to support an inventory and assessment effort that can inform park and resource management decisions by improving understanding of which small mammal species are present and what their status may be.
This notice is not a competitive solicitation. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites the Department of the Interior policy reference "505 Departmental Manual 2.12C" as the basis for the noncompetitive approach. In practical terms, that means the NPS has already identified the partner organization and is announcing the intended award rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants.
The only expected award is one, and eligibility is limited accordingly. The announcement states that it is a single-source award to the University of Idaho, so other entities are not being invited to apply. The program is associated with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which commonly supports research, inventory, monitoring, and related technical work tied to NPS resource stewardship and science needs.
Financially, the estimated total funding amount is $51,878. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, indicating the recipient is not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically reflects that the posting is serving primarily as a formal notice rather than a standard competitive funding opportunity with a range of allowable request amounts.
The timeline in the public notice is brief: it was posted and created on June 7, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 12, 2013, and an archive date of July 12, 2013. This short window aligns with how agencies often post single-source notices, where the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for receiving applications.
