Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Nutritional Ecology of Brown Bears on the Coast of Katmai National Park." This notice functions mainly as a transparency and record-keeping step: it announces that NPS plans to provide funding for specific research activities, but it is not an open solicitation and it is not asking anyone to apply. In other words, there is no competitive application process associated with this posting, and the listing is meant to document NPS's intent to support a particular partner for a defined task.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement in the natural resources area, indicating that NPS anticipates having substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The project is being implemented under Task Agreement number P15AC00130, which sits under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8W07110001) with Washington State University (WSU). WSU is identified as a partner within the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, which is a framework used to facilitate collaboration between federal agencies and research institutions. The eligibility category listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the fact that the intended recipient is a university partner.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $32,000, with an award ceiling of $32,000 and an award floor of $0. The listing indicates that NPS expects to make one award. It also states that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide non-federal funds to receive the award. The associated CFDA listing includes 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System), which generally covers research and related activities that support the stewardship and management of national park resources.
In terms of timing and status, the notice was posted and created on May 12, 2015, and archived on May 19, 2015. Both the original and current closing dates explicitly state "This is not a request for applications," reinforcing that the announcement is informational rather than competitive. Anyone seeking the full announcement details is directed to Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00130, and the contact for access issues is Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, with a provided phone number and email address.
