Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Toward a Meteorological Early Warning System for Reducing the Transport and Deposition of Nitrogen In RMNP" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources, specifically aimed at supporting work connected to reducing nitrogen transport and deposition in Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP). The project is framed around developing or advancing a meteorological early warning system, which implies research and operational planning that would use weather and atmospheric information to anticipate conditions that contribute to nitrogen movement and fallout into the park. Nitrogen deposition is a known concern for sensitive high-elevation ecosystems because it can alter soil and water chemistry and affect vegetation and aquatic systems, so the underlying purpose of the effort is to improve the ability to predict and potentially mitigate these deposition events.
This opportunity is being issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal agency participation. The award is structured as a task agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework commonly used by Interior agencies to collaborate with universities and other research entities on ecosystem science, monitoring, and resource-management needs. The announcement is explicitly described as a notice of intent and a noncompetitive action, and it cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for making a single-source award rather than running a full open competition.
Importantly, this notice is not a request for applications. Eligibility is effectively limited because the NPS states that it is a single-source award to Colorado State University. In other words, the posting functions as a public disclosure that the agency plans to fund a specific partner for this work, rather than inviting multiple applicants to submit proposals. The listing notes that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide a financial match as a condition of the award.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00599 and is associated with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The NPS anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The posting date and creation date are both June 17, 2013, and the original and current closing date are June 24, 2013, with an archive date of July 24, 2013. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which often appears in notices like this when a fixed ceiling is not formally specified in the system fields even though an estimated total funding amount is provided elsewhere in the announcement.
For additional details beyond the summary fields, the notice indicates there is an attached announcement, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
