Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) issued a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Natural Resource Condition Assessment for Five Parks (CESU)" under Funding Opportunity Number AJ5028090003. The purpose of this grant is to secure professional expertise to carry out field studies that support a Natural Resource Condition Assessment covering five national park units. In practical terms, the selected partner would be responsible for collecting and analyzing on-the-ground data needed to evaluate the status and condition of key natural resources in those parks, generating information that NPS can use for resource stewardship, planning, and management decisions.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects substantial involvement during the project rather than a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," signaling that the work is research-oriented and focused on producing credible, defensible scientific findings from field-based investigations. Only one award was anticipated, indicating NPS intended to select a single organization to deliver the full scope of work for all five parks rather than splitting the work across multiple recipients.
The total estimated funding for the award was $265,000, and both the award ceiling and floor were also set at $265,000, meaning NPS expected to make one award at that exact amount. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute additional non-federal funds to receive the full award. The eligible applicant type listed is private institutions of higher education, and the title references CESU, which commonly relates to the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units network used by federal agencies to partner with academic institutions on research and technical assistance.
Key dates show the announcement was posted on October 23, 2009, created on October 20, 2009, and had an original and current closing date of October 28, 2009. The opportunity was archived on November 27, 2009, reflecting that it is no longer open for applications. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," which in older postings can appear when a standard CFDA program identifier was not assigned or not displayed in the listing.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the NPS provided a contact: Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 404-507-5747 or by email at cherylrichardson@nps.gov.
