Opportunity Summary:
The Natural Resource Condition Assessment for War in the Pacific National Historical Park (WAPA) and American Memorial Park (AMME) is a National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity seeking a qualified partner to work collaboratively with NPS on evaluating and documenting the condition of natural resources at two park units: War in the Pacific National Historical Park on Guam and American Memorial Park in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Rather than soliciting a full technical proposal up front, NPS is essentially using this announcement to request information about a prospective collaborator's interest, relevant experience, and capacity to carry out this type of assessment. The responses to the request are intended to help NPS identify a suitable partner for a project that NPS plans to fund.
This opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the partner should expect substantial involvement from NPS during project planning and execution. The project falls under the Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. NPS anticipates making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $70,000. No cost sharing or matching funds are required, which means the selected partner would not be expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award.
Eligibility is limited and tied to the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, a network of partnerships designed to support research, technical assistance, and education for public land management agencies. To be eligible, an applicant must already be a participating partner within one of the specified CESU regions: Hawaii Pacific Islands CESU, Californian CESU, Pacific Northwest CESU, or the Colorado Plateau CESU. In practical terms, this requirement narrows the field to universities, non-profits, tribes, and other organizations that are formal CESU partners in those regions, since CESU cooperative agreements use established partnership frameworks and streamline collaboration for science and technical work.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number P13AS00031 and a posting date of April 11, 2013. The original and current closing date is April 30, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on May 1, 2013, indicating it was a time-limited request tied to a specific upcoming project need. While the award ceiling and floor are shown as $0 in the summary fields, the announcement also states the estimated total funding is $70,000, which is the more meaningful figure for understanding likely project scale. Anyone needing access to the complete announcement through Grants.gov or encountering technical issues is directed to contact the NPS point of contact, Lilette Baltodano, at 415-623-2251 or via email at lilettebaltodano@nps.gov.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted partner-identification step for a science-based natural resource assessment effort at two Pacific island park sites, funded by NPS and executed through the CESU partnership mechanism, with one anticipated cooperative agreement award and a modest, defined total project budget.
