Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project focused on the continued monitoring and management of bats affected by White-nose Syndrome (WNS) within two NPS-managed areas: the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River Corridor. The key point is that it is not a call for proposals and not a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a public transparency posting stating that NPS plans to provide funding for specific project activities without full and open competition.
The planned award would be made through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work (for example, coordination on study design, access to park sites, alignment with park resource management priorities, and review of deliverables), rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The funding opportunity is categorized under a general "Other" activity area, reflecting that the work is specialized resource management and monitoring rather than fitting neatly into a single standard grant category.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0026, under CFDA 15.944 (a National Park Service assistance listing). The anticipated award amount is capped at $33,675, and NPS expects to make one award. The posting was created and published on March 17, 2016, with a closing date of March 26, 2016. In the context of notices like this, the "closing date" functions more as an administrative timeline for the posting rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since applications are not being requested.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility specifics referenced in the full announcement documents on Grants.gov. However, because this is a non-competitive intent to award, the practical implication is that NPS has already identified the recipient organization or is proceeding under an allowable exception to competition, and the public posting serves to document that decision rather than invite new applicants.
Substantively, the project scope centers on ongoing WNS-related bat work in the specified park units. While the short summary provided in the listing does not describe field methods, a project with this title typically involves continued population monitoring, tracking disease impacts, documenting presence and activity levels of affected bat species, and supporting management actions that help parks respond to WNS (for example, guidance on cave or mine access, decontamination protocols, seasonal restrictions to reduce disturbance, and data collection that informs conservation decisions). The notice directs readers to the "Related Documents" section in Grants.gov for the full announcement, which is where the detailed statement of work, intended recipient, and justification for non-competitive funding would normally be provided.
