Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Use International Interns to Examine the Influences of Climate Change on Birds" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource work focused on how climate change is affecting bird populations. The mechanism is a cooperative agreement issued through the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), with the end result being a task agreement award. The notice is explicitly described as a "notice of intent" for a noncompetitive award made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C), meaning the agency is announcing its intention to fund a specific entity rather than soliciting proposals from the public.
This announcement is not a request for applications and is not open competition. The eligible applicant field points to "Others" with a clarification in the eligibility text, which states that this is a single-source award to The Nature Conservancy. In practice, that means no other organizations should prepare or submit proposals in response to this listing, because the recipient has already been identified by NPS. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument (implying substantial federal involvement or collaboration during performance), and falls under the natural resources funding activity category.
From a funding standpoint, the estimated total funding associated with the award is $57,458, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in older listings or notices of intent where the agency is not using Grants.gov fields to define a competitive range, especially when the amount is already effectively determined through an internal agreement process. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, so the recipient is not required by the announcement to contribute matching funds as a condition of the award.
The posting and timing information reflects that the notice was posted on September 29, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 30, 2010, and an archive date of October 30, 2010. That very short window is consistent with a notice-of-intent style posting rather than a competitive funding cycle. The listing includes a CFDA number placeholder of 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," which signals that this particular action was not tied to a standard CFDA program number in the public listing.
For administrative questions or for assistance accessing the full announcement, the point of contact provided is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
