Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "The Impacts of Multi Use Pathways on Black Bears in Grand Teton National Park, Year 2" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIR1465110109) is a discretionary grant action focused on natural resource research, specifically examining how multi-use pathways affect black bears in Grand Teton National Park during the second year of an ongoing effort. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, typically through coordination, technical input, shared planning, or collaboration on study design and deliverables.
This notice is not a public call for proposals and is not requesting applications from the broader research community. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement explicitly cites noncompetitive justification under DOI policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C), which is commonly used when an agency determines a specific institution is uniquely qualified, continuity of an existing project is required, or the work is tied to an established cooperative framework such as a CESU. In this case, the designated recipient is the University of Montana, and the listing clarifies that other applicants are not being solicited because the action is intended as a single-source award.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $26,703. No cost sharing or matching is required, lowering administrative burden on the recipient and indicating the federal funding is expected to cover the approved scope of work for this year of the project. The posting date and creation date are both April 27, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 1, 2011, and an archive date of May 31, 2011. These dates function more as formal posting and recordkeeping milestones than an application deadline, since the announcement is not competitive and is not open for submission by outside entities. The listing also shows award ceiling and floor as $0, which often appears in notices like this where a fixed total estimate is provided but the system fields for ceilings/floors are not used in a typical competitive format.
Administratively, the opportunity sits under a CFDA placeholder of 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which can occur when a specific CFDA program code is not assigned to the activity in the public listing. The opportunity category is discretionary and the activity category is natural resources, aligning with a research and management-oriented project intended to inform park operations and wildlife conservation decisions. The notice indicates there is one expected award.
