Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a National Park Service discretionary grant announcement (Funding Opportunity Number P13AC00959) issued as a Notice of Intent to Award, indicating the agency planned to make a single cooperative agreement rather than run a broad competitive solicitation. The project is centered on environmental research and resource stewardship at the Missouri National Recreational River, specifically the Bow Creek Recreation Area, with a focus on amphibians and amphibian health. The intended recipient eligibility category is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the announcement title points to the Missouri River Institute at the University of South Dakota.
The core purpose of the award is to document and assess amphibian species and populations in the Bow Creek Recreation Area and to examine emerging amphibian diseases. In practical terms, this kind of work typically involves field surveys to determine what amphibian species are present, where they occur, and how abundant they are, alongside population assessments that can help identify trends or potential conservation concerns. The disease component signals attention to pathogens that have been affecting amphibians across North America and globally, and it suggests the project would include examining animals or habitats for signs of disease and, where appropriate, collecting and analyzing samples to better understand disease presence and potential risks to local populations. The overall intent aligns with National Park Service resource management goals: establishing credible baseline information, detecting changes over time, and informing management actions that protect native wildlife and ecosystem integrity.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expected to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordinating study design elements, facilitating access to park sites, aligning data collection with park monitoring needs, and ensuring results are delivered in usable formats for park decision-making. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the CFDA program listing is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which is commonly used for partnerships that support scientific research, inventory and monitoring, and applied studies benefiting national park units.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $39,187, with an award floor of $39,187 and an award ceiling of $120,000. The presence of a higher ceiling alongside a lower estimated total funding level generally signals that the agency wanted to reserve flexibility for the final negotiated amount or for potential expansion of scope if justified, while still indicating the anticipated funding for this specific project. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Administratively, the announcement was posted on July 24, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 7, 2013, and it was archived on September 6, 2013. Only one award was expected. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact is Julie Hendricks, Lead Grants Management Specialist, with the provided phone number (402-661-1662).
