Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Western National Parks Federal Highways Vegetation Monitoring opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00527) is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service focused on natural resource work, specifically vegetation monitoring connected to federal highways in western national parks. The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is intended to be carried out with substantial involvement from the NPS rather than as a hands-off grant. The opportunity is tied to the CFDA listing 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, a common program area for applied research, monitoring, and technical support that directly informs park management.
This notice is not a competitive solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement states that the noncompetitive approach is being used in accordance with Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is the internal authority the agency cites when it proceeds with a sole source or otherwise noncompetitive financial assistance action. In practical terms, the purpose of the posting is transparency about the agency’s intent to fund a specific partner for a specific scope of work, rather than to open a competition.
The only expected award is one, and the designated recipient is Colorado State University. The estimated total funding amount is $97,630. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, indicating the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of the award. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are shown as $0 in the posting), which often happens in entries that are informational notices of intent rather than full competitive funding announcements with a range of award sizes.
Key dates in the posting indicate it was posted and created on May 5, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 9, 2014, and an archive date of June 8, 2014. Given that it is not a request for applications, the short open period functions more as a public notice window than an application period. Anyone needing the full announcement documentation was directed to contact Kelly Adams, a Grants Management Specialist with the National Park Service, at 303-969-2303 for access assistance.
