Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work that supports fire management planning. The project title indicates it is part of a larger effort on "Strategic Planning for Appropriate Management Response" and is specifically aimed at developing and applying treatment analyses and a project plan for "Phase 2," which centers on assessing how a particular analysis approach can be applied across multi-agency landscapes to support the development of fire management plans. In practical terms, the work is about improving the analytical foundation and planning tools used to decide how to manage wildfire and fuels treatments, especially where land ownership and management responsibilities are shared among multiple agencies.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects substantial involvement in the project as a partner rather than simply issuing a standard grant and stepping back. The award is issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a cooperative research framework that NPS and partner institutions use to collaborate on applied science and technical assistance. The notice explains that this is a task agreement award under that CESU, which usually functions like a scoped work package tied to a broader master cooperative agreement.
This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. It is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, and it cites the Department of the Interior guidance (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the policy basis for using a noncompetitive approach. The only eligible applicant in practice is Colorado State University, which is named as the intended recipient. Because it is a single-source notice, there is no open competition, and other organizations are not being solicited to apply even though the general eligibility field in the listing is labeled "Others" with clarification provided in the text.
The opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. The CFDA program number is 15.945, identified as Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with the CESU model and the applied research and planning focus.
Key dates show the posting and creation date as September 7, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 11, 2011, and an archive date of October 11, 2011. Given that it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive action rather than a competitive solicitation, the short window functions more as an administrative posting period than a true application deadline. Award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which commonly appears in records where a fixed ceiling is not set in the system fields even though the estimated total funding amount is provided elsewhere.
