Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00044) comes from the National Park Service and focuses on completing Natural Resource Condition Assessments for three important park units in Hawaii: Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park (KAHO), Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park (PUHO), and Puukohola Heiau National Historic Site (PUHE). The core purpose is for NPS to identify a qualified partner to collaborate with on evaluating and documenting the current condition of natural resources in these parks. Rather than being a typical open competition to the general public, the announcement is essentially a request for information on interest and qualifications, which NPS will use to select a collaborator for a project that will ultimately be funded by the agency.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected partner should expect substantial involvement from NPS during the project (for example, coordination on scope, methods, products, and how findings are applied to park management). The activity category is Natural Resources, and the work is tied to the broader goals of improving understanding and stewardship of resources within the National Park System through research and technical support. Only one award is expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $120,000. The notice lists no award ceiling or floor, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already participating partners in specific Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) networks. In this case, eligible recipients must be affiliated with the Hawaii-Pacific Islands CESU, the Californian CESU, or the Pacific Northwest CESU. CESUs are established partnerships designed to connect federal resource managers with universities, nonprofits, and other research/technical organizations that can provide applied science, education, and assistance. The assistance listing associated with this opportunity is CFDA 15.945, identified as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which signals that the project is intended to support NPS management needs through collaborative research and assessment rather than construction or unrelated service delivery.
The timeline in the posting indicates it was made public on March 18, 2014, with the closing date ultimately set to April 16, 2014 (after an earlier original closing date of April 14, 2014). The opportunity was archived on April 18, 2014. In practical terms, that means the window for submitting responses was short and focused, consistent with an RFI-style partner identification process under the CESU framework.
