Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Support Implementation of Five Needle Pine Climate Change Response Project" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR2120110011) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice describing an intended, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award tied to natural resource work in the National Park System. The project is framed around supporting implementation of a climate change response effort focused on five-needle pine species, a group of high-elevation conifers that are widely recognized as vulnerable to climate-related stressors and associated impacts. Rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants, the announcement functions as a formal public notice that NPS plans to make a single-source award under an existing partnership mechanism.
This opportunity falls under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a collaborative network used by federal agencies and partner institutions to conduct research, provide technical assistance, and support training related to ecosystem management. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordinating activities, shaping technical approaches, or participating in oversight and implementation. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the relevant CFDA listing is 15.945, described as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System.
A key point in the announcement is that it is explicitly not a request for applications. Eligible applicants are listed broadly as "Others," but the eligibility narrative clarifies that this is a single-source award to Montana State University. In practical terms, that means the competitive process is not open, and no outside submissions are being sought or reviewed. The notice is issued as a "notice of intent" for a noncompetitive award under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is the internal authority that allows certain awards to be made without competition when specific criteria are met and properly documented.
In terms of scale and timing, the announcement indicates an expected single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $38,722. Both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is not using the posting to establish a competitive range and instead is simply documenting an intended amount through the attached materials or internal agreement package. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date are both July 22, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 26, 2011, and an archive date of August 25, 2011. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting, since the purpose is transparency about a planned single-source action rather than collecting applications.
For additional details beyond the summary fields, the announcement directs readers to an attached document for more information. If there are issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
