Oak Barrens Restoration Invasive Plant Control | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Oak Barrens Restoration Invasive Plant Control grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number AJ5536090202) was a discretionary National Park Service funding announcement focused on supporting field-based scientific work tied to oak barrens restoration, with a specific emphasis on invasive plant control. The core purpose of the award was to secure professional expertise to conduct field studies that would inform, guide, or improve restoration and invasive species management activities in an oak barrens ecosystem. While the announcement summary is brief, the intent is clear: fund applied research and on-the-ground study work that produces usable information for restoration planning and implementation, such as identifying invasive plant presence and impacts, assessing conditions in the oak barrens habitat, and helping shape effective control strategies that support native community recovery.

This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project would be carried out with an expectation of substantial involvement from the National Park Service during performance rather than a hands-off grant arrangement. The funding activity category was listed under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reinforcing that the deliverables were likely study results, analyses, and recommendations rather than routine operations alone. The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), indicating the agency intended to select one recipient to carry out the described work as a consolidated project rather than splitting funds among multiple organizations.

The total estimated funding for the project was about $69,795, and the award amount was essentially fixed: the award ceiling and floor were both stated at $69,759, signaling that applicants were likely expected to propose a project scoped tightly around that set budget figure. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, which can simplify budgeting and participation for the selected institution.

Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education, which typically includes private colleges and universities and affiliated research entities that meet the definition of an eligible institution. The CFDA number was listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which generally suggests the funding was not associated with a standard, regularly used CFDA program listing and may have been issued as a more specialized or one-off opportunity.

Key dates show that the opportunity moved quickly. It was posted on October 23, 2009 (created October 20, 2009) and had an original and current closing date of October 28, 2009, giving applicants only a short submission window. The archive date was November 27, 2009, indicating it is no longer active and was formally closed and archived after the review period.

For administrative questions or help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 404-507-5747 or by email at cherylrichardson@nps.gov.
