Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Pikas in Peril multi regional vulnerability assessment of a climate sensitive species, yr 4" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR2326120006) is a discretionary funding action focused on natural resource science, specifically research and assessment work related to pika populations as a climate-sensitive species. The project is framed as the fourth year of an ongoing multi-regional vulnerability assessment effort, suggesting it continues earlier phases of work aimed at understanding how changing climate conditions may affect pikas across multiple regions, likely including habitat suitability, exposure to warming temperatures, and broader ecological risk factors within park-managed landscapes.
This opportunity is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant. The work is to be carried out under a task agreement issued through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnerships that support research, technical assistance, and education; in practice, using a CESU mechanism often streamlines collaboration between federal land management agencies and university or research partners.
Importantly, this notice is not a competitive funding opportunity and is not a request for applications. The announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The eligible applicant information confirms the intent: the award is specifically designated for the University of Idaho, meaning other organizations are not being invited to apply. The listing of "Expected Awards: 1" aligns with that single-recipient structure.
The estimated total funding amount is $35,889, and there is no stated cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in archived funding listings when a fixed dollar amount is provided elsewhere or when the system format does not reflect the true ceiling/floor for a task agreement. The opportunity was posted on May 14, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 21, 2012, and it was archived on June 20, 2012. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a public notice requirement for an intended sole-source award rather than an open call for proposals.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. For parties seeking more details beyond the summary notice, the announcement indicates that additional information is provided in an attached document. For access issues, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
