Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Orinthological studies, training and information dissemination" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS8541100014) under the Natural Resources activity category. The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates a partnership-style arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity is tied to ongoing collaboration and is meant to strengthen education, research, restoration, and protection efforts related to natural resources, with an emphasis on ornithological (bird-related) expertise and the sharing of information and training.
This notice is explicitly not a competitive call for proposals. Instead, it is a single-source partnership announcement naming the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology (WFVZ) as the intended recipient. In practical terms, that means the NPS was not soliciting applications from the general public or a broad pool of eligible organizations, and the "Eligible Applicants" field is effectively narrowed by the accompanying eligibility statement that identifies WFVZ as the partner for this specific agreement. The work described is a continuation of existing collaborative projects with the Southern California Research Learning Center (SCRLC), which is a program within the National Park Service. Through this partnership, WFVZ is expected to provide specialized expertise and services that support NPS priorities, including educational initiatives, resource restoration, resource protection, and research activities.
The funding amount for this agreement is fixed at $24,000, with both the award floor and ceiling set to the same amount, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted and created on June 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2010, and it was archived on July 25, 2010. The listing includes a CFDA reference of 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," which typically functions as a placeholder classification rather than a program-specific CFDA number. For access issues related to the full announcement materials, the NPS listed a point of contact: Kristina Bliss, Contract Specialist, at 805-370-2321 or kristinabliss@nps.gov.
