Opportunity Summary:
The "Pesticide Prioritization Monitoring in California National Parks" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00628) is a discretionary funding notice issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.945. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing a stand-alone grant with minimal agency participation.
This notice is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a competitive solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, this kind of announcement is typically used when an agency has a justified reason to make a direct award to a specific partner, such as unique expertise, an existing long-term collaboration framework, or the need for continuity with ongoing work.
The intended recipient is the University of California, Davis, identified as a partner under the California Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The work would be carried out under Task Agreement #P16AC01786, which sits under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00676). This structure indicates the project is part of a broader, pre-established partnership mechanism where multiple task agreements can be issued to carry out particular pieces of work aligned with shared federal and academic research goals.
The project itself, as titled, focuses on pesticide prioritization and monitoring in California national parks. While the notice does not provide technical detail on methods or target compounds, the title signals an effort to identify which pesticides are most important to track (prioritization) and then to monitor for those pesticides within park environments. In a national park context, this sort of work is commonly tied to protecting natural resources, understanding potential off-site chemical transport into protected areas, and supporting science-based management decisions related to ecosystem health.
Financially, the award ceiling is listed as $78,140, and NPS expects to make one award. The opportunity was created on September 10, 2016. Because it is not open for applications, there is no standard closing date for submissions; the listing exists primarily for transparency around the planned noncompetitive award and the administrative vehicle being used to support the work. Eligible applicants are described as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the identified partner organization for this intended award.
