Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Wildfire decisions and air quality, phase 2 funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00644) is a National Park Service discretionary grant action that is being carried out as a cooperative agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The focus implied by the title is the relationship between wildfire management decisions and air quality outcomes, and the fact that it is labeled "phase 2" indicates it is intended as a continuation or follow-on effort to prior work rather than a brand-new, open competition.
This notice is not an open call for proposals. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award, explicitly citing the Department of the Interior policy authority at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. The eligible applicant is effectively predetermined: the announcement states that the award will be made to the University of Idaho. In other words, while it appears in the grant listings like other opportunities, it is not a request for applications from the broader public or from multiple competing institutions.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which commonly appears in older federal postings when the precise ceiling/floor is not configured in the system even though an estimated total amount is provided; the practical figure to pay attention to here is the stated estimate of $50,000 and the single expected award.
The programmatic category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing includes 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs, Resources of the National Park System), which aligns with CESU-style agreements that typically support applied research, technical assistance, and collaboration between the NPS and partner universities. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), it also signals that NPS likely expects substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination on methods, data use, review of products, and integration of findings into management decisions.
Key dates show the posting date and creation date as June 20, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2013, and an archive date of July 25, 2013. Given the single-source nature, the short window functions more as a public notice period than a true application deadline for competing submissions.
For anyone needing the full announcement materials but unable to access them electronically, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
