Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service opportunity titled "Yosemite National Park's Melting Glaciers, Year Two" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8813100078) is a discretionary funding notice announcing the intent to make a cooperative agreement award for natural resources work connected to glacier melt in Yosemite National Park. The planned award is structured as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework the Department of the Interior uses to collaborate with academic and other research institutions on science and resource-management needs.
This posting is not a traditional competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C). The announcement explicitly states it is not requesting applications from the public and that the recipient has already been identified. Eligibility is therefore effectively limited to the named organization: the University of Colorado, Boulder. The listing also indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement for the recipient.
The estimated total funding amount for the action is $30,958. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically appears in federal postings when the opportunity is not being competed in an open call or when the system fields are not being used to define a range for applicants (since applications are not being accepted). The opportunity was posted and created on July 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 27, 2010, and it was archived on August 26, 2010. Even though it has a closing date like a normal funding announcement, that date functions more as an administrative posting window rather than a deadline for applicants, because the agency is not soliciting proposals.
In practical terms, the notice signals that the National Park Service intended to continue or extend a second year of work related to understanding or documenting melting glaciers in Yosemite, using a cooperative agreement mechanism under the CESU network. Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaboration on study design, coordination with park staff, shared data collection efforts, or ongoing technical guidance tied to management needs.
For additional details beyond what appears in the summary fields, the notice refers readers to an attached announcement. If the attachment could not be accessed electronically, the point of contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
