Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Technical Assistance for Bat and Agave Monitoring opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC01121) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action focused on natural resource work within the National Park System, specifically providing technical assistance related to monitoring bats and agave. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the recipient and the National Park Service are expected to work closely together during the project rather than operating in a hands-off, grant-only arrangement. The award is being made under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework used to support research, technical assistance, and training tied to ecosystem management priorities in that region.
This announcement is not an open competition and is not a request for applications. It is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, cited as being consistent with the Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is documenting its intent to proceed without soliciting proposals from other organizations. The listed eligible applicant category is shown broadly as "Others," but the eligibility section clarifies that the award is intended as a single-source action to the University of Arizona, so other prospective applicants are not being invited to apply.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $36,666. The posting date and creation date were both July 2, 2014, and the closing date was July 7, 2014, indicating a short public notice window consistent with a notice-of-intent for a noncompetitive award rather than a standard competitive grant cycle. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the listing, which often occurs in notices where the total anticipated amount is provided but formal ceiling/floor ranges are not used in the public-facing summary. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with the CESU model and the type of applied monitoring and technical support described.
For anyone needing the full announcement materials but having difficulty accessing them electronically, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
