Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR1401243, is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD Monitor and mitigate effects of saltcedar beetle on Athel, Year 3." In practical terms, it is not a broad, open competition for new applicants. Instead, it is a formal notice that NPS intends to issue a task agreement under an already-existing cooperative agreement, specifically to the World Wildlife Fund, to continue work in the third year of a project focused on monitoring and reducing the impacts of saltcedar beetles on Athel.
The project focus is natural resource stewardship (CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship). The core activity is monitoring and mitigation related to saltcedar beetles and their effects on Athel, which is a tree species often used in riparian or arid landscapes and can be affected when biological control efforts or insect population dynamics shift. The notice signals continued management attention to ecological side effects and resource conditions associated with the beetle, with Year 3 implying an ongoing, multi-year effort where earlier years likely established baseline monitoring and began mitigation actions that now need to be continued, refined, or expanded.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a collaborative relationship between the agency and the recipient, with substantial involvement from NPS during the project period (for example, coordination on monitoring design, access to park sites, data management expectations, or adaptive management decisions). The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the intent to fund a specific partner under an existing agreement rather than solicit multiple proposals. The estimated total funding amount listed is $27,500, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which is common in notices that are not structured as open solicitations and may not use the ceiling/floor fields in the same way a competitive grant announcement would.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on July 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 28, 2014, and an archive date of July 29, 2014. These short windows are typical for notices of intent to award, which are often published for transparency and public record rather than to invite new submissions. Eligibility is effectively limited by the purpose of the notice: it identifies the World Wildlife Fund as the intended recipient, and the eligibility field points readers back to the additional information indicating this is a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement.
For administrative questions or issues accessing the announcement, the listed contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, at 505-988-6122. The agency name is the National Park Service, and the description repeats the central point: NPS intends to award a task agreement to the World Wildlife Fund to monitor and mitigate the effects of saltcedar beetles on Athel in Year 3 of the effort.
