Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "NPSpecies and DataStore Application Management for the Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network of NPS" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR4531120567) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement within the natural resources category. It is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. The announcement was posted and created on May 31, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 7, 2012, and an archive date of July 7, 2012. The National Park Service indicated an expectation of a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $49,682. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed for the recipient.
This notice is not a competitive solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award to the Pennsylvania State University. The award is to be made through a task agreement under the National Park Service Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement also cites the authority for issuing a noncompetitive award, referencing Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is commonly used to justify certain noncompetitive or single-source financial assistance actions when specific criteria are met.
While the brief synopsis does not describe detailed deliverables, the title indicates the work centers on managing two National Park Service data and application platforms: NPSpecies and DataStore. These systems are widely used by the NPS to document, manage, and share biological and natural resource information, including species occurrence records, inventory and monitoring datasets, and related metadata. The focus on the Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network suggests the supported work is intended to help parks within that network maintain functional, consistent, and accessible data management workflows, likely involving tasks such as database administration, application support, user assistance, data quality control, configuration, troubleshooting, and coordination with NPS resource managers and network staff to ensure biological and monitoring information is properly captured and usable for planning and decision-making.
The administering agency is the National Park Service. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist, reachable at 301-432-7890 or ritamihalik@nps.gov.
