Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Natural Resource Condition Assessment of Parks in NCR Network" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI NCRO R2112120423) is a discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work within the National Capital Region (NCR) network of parks. The NPS planned to make a single cooperative agreement award with an estimated total funding amount of $29,165. While it appears in the format of a funding announcement, it is explicitly not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications from the public or the broader research community.
This notice is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award issued under the National Park Service Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CW CESU). The NPS cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for making the award without competition. In practical terms, that means the agency had already identified the intended recipient and was publishing the notice to document the planned action and provide transparency, rather than to solicit competing applications.
The only expected award (Expected Awards: 1) was designated for the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, Horn Point Laboratory. The listing reflects that eligibility is effectively limited to that recipient for this specific action, which is why the announcement includes the clarification that it is not a request for applications. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement associated with the award, and the financial fields show no formal ceiling or floor amount beyond the stated estimated total funding.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 3, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 10, 2012, and it was archived on September 9, 2012. It is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to the resources of the National Park System. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project during performance, such as collaboration on scope, deliverables, or coordination with park staff and other partners.
For parties needing access to the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact was Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 or by email at ritamihalik@nps.gov.
