Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a project focused on cutthroat trout genetics in Rocky Mountain National Park. The project, titled "Using mtDNA and Microsatellites from Current Reference Populations and Museum Specimens to Explore the Heritage of Cutthroat Trout in Rocky Mountain National Park," centers on using genetic tools to better understand the lineage and historical origins of cutthroat trout populations in the park. Specifically, the work involves analyzing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and microsatellite markers from both present-day reference populations and archived museum specimens, a combination that can help distinguish native heritage from later introductions, mixing, or changes that occurred over time. The overall intent is to strengthen scientific understanding that can guide natural resource management decisions, especially those related to conserving or restoring genetically appropriate trout populations.
Administratively, this is not an open competition. The announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications and is being issued as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award under Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C). The award is to be made through the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) as a task agreement, which is a common mechanism the NPS uses to partner with universities and other research entities on targeted scientific work. The only identified recipient is the University of Colorado at Boulder, meaning other organizations are not being solicited to apply.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, indicating the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient typically operates with more independence). The funding activity category is natural resources, reflecting the fisheries genetics and conservation-management focus. The estimated total funding amount listed is $50,490, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. Only one award is expected. While the listing includes a CFDA number placeholder (00.000, not elsewhere classified), the core administrative details emphasize that this is a single-source, pre-identified award rather than a typical program with multiple applicants.
Key dates show the notice was posted on July 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 6, 2010, and an archive date of August 5, 2010. The short window is consistent with a notice of intent for a noncompetitive action rather than a competitive grant cycle. For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is this funding opportunity about?
This is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a research project on cutthroat trout genetics in Rocky Mountain National Park. The project uses genetic analysis to better understand the lineage and historical origins of cutthroat trout populations in the park so the results can inform natural resource management decisions.
Is this an open grant competition?
No. The announcement states it is not a request for applications. It is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive (single-source) award under Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C).

Who is the intended recipient of the award?
The University of Colorado at Boulder is the only identified recipient for this cooperative agreement award.
What is the project title?
The project is titled: "Using mtDNA and Microsatellites from Current Reference Populations and Museum Specimens to Explore the Heritage of Cutthroat Trout in Rocky Mountain National Park."
What scientific methods or data sources are mentioned?
The notice describes analyzing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and microsatellite markers from two main sources: (1) current reference populations and (2) archived museum specimens. Using both present-day samples and museum specimens can help clarify historical lineage and changes over time.
Why does the project use both current reference populations and museum specimens?
Based on the notice, combining genetics from present-day reference populations with archived museum specimens can help distinguish native heritage from later introductions, mixing, or other changes that may have occurred over time.
How will the results be used?
The stated intent is to strengthen scientific understanding that can guide natural resource management decisions in Rocky Mountain National Park, especially decisions related to conserving or restoring genetically appropriate cutthroat trout populations.
What agency is issuing the notice?
The notice is issued by the National Park Service (NPS).
What type of funding is this categorized as?
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding.
