Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled Natural Resource Condition Assessment (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NRCA MISC 10 GR01), was a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding announcement focused on producing a Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) for three NPS units in North Dakota: Theodore Roosevelt National Park, Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site, and Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site. The core purpose of the work was to compile, analyze, and synthesize existing information (and any necessary supporting data work as defined in the solicitation) to describe the current condition of key natural resources in these parks and to provide a structured baseline for management decisions, planning, and long-term monitoring. The announcement notes that additional technical and submission details were provided in an attached Request for Statements of Interest and Qualifications.
The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, indicating the NPS expected an active partnership relationship with the award recipient rather than a simple pass-through grant. The activity category was Natural Resources, aligning the work with resource assessment, reporting, and decision-support products that help parks understand trends, stressors, and management priorities. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000 and an award ceiling of $250,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
Eligibility was limited: applicants had to be partners within the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are cooperative networks that connect federal agencies with universities and other partners to support research, technical assistance, and applied science, and this restriction meant the competition was not open to the general public or all institutions nationwide, only to those already participating in the Great Rivers CESU partnership. The announcement pointed prospective applicants to the Great Rivers CESU website for more information about the partnership framework and participating entities.
Key dates show this was a time-limited, archived opportunity. It was posted and created on May 4, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 21, 2010, and it was archived on June 20, 2010.
