Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "The Ecology and Conservation of Mesocarnivores at White Sands National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ7810100026) is a discretionary cooperative agreement in the Natural Resources category. It was posted and created on June 21, 2010, with an original and final closing date of June 25, 2010, and it was archived on July 25, 2010. The estimated total funding amount associated with this action is $60,000, with no stated award ceiling or floor, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
This announcement is not an open call for proposals. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award, issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C). The award is expected to be made as a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative framework often used by NPS to partner with universities and other research institutions on applied science and resource management priorities.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the funding is intended for a specific recipient. While the listing shows "Others" under eligible applicants, the eligibility statement clarifies that this is a single-source award to New Mexico State University. In practical terms, that means other organizations are not being invited to apply, and there is no competitive selection process for this particular action. Only one award is anticipated.
Programmatically, the project focus is the ecology and conservation of mesocarnivores at White Sands National Monument, indicating research and/or monitoring work related to mid-sized carnivores and their management implications within the monument. Because the public notice references an attached announcement for more details, the core public-facing takeaway is that NPS intends to support a defined, partner-led research effort under the CESU mechanism rather than solicit new applications from the broader community.
For access issues or questions related to obtaining the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
