Opportunity Summary:
The Point Reyes Natl Seashore Vegetation Vital Signs Collaborative Monitoring opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00202) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is explicitly not a request for applications and not an open competition. Instead, it serves as public notice that NPS intends to make a single cooperative agreement award, without full and open competition, to the Point Reyes National Seashore Association (PRNSA), a qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
The project focuses on strengthening how the NPS records, stores, and uses ecological monitoring information tied to the invasive plant species "vital sign" program within the San Francisco Bay Area Network (SFAN). In practical terms, the planned work is about improving the tools and workflows used for recording field data, archiving it in a usable and secure way, and analyzing it so the information can better support resource management decisions. The monitoring itself is part of NPS natural resource stewardship efforts, and the emphasis here is on improving data systems and usability for invasive species vegetation monitoring across the network.
The notice also highlights the broader partnership purpose behind the agreement. NPS and PRNSA share an interest in collaborating on ecological research and education within SFAN park units, and they intend to cooperate on educational, informational, interpretive, and research programs related to natural resources. The stated rationale is mutual benefit and long-term public value: supporting stewardship and knowledge-building that benefits the public and future generations.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding using a cooperative agreement instrument, under the Natural Resources activity category, and tied to CFDA 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship). The expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $45,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date are August 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 19, 2013, and an archive date of August 23, 2013. Although an "award ceiling" and "award floor" are listed as 0, the notice separately states the estimated total funding amount, which is the more informative figure in this case.
Eligibility information is included mainly for classification purposes, indicating eligible applicants as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education; however, because this is a notice of intent to award to PRNSA and not a competitive solicitation, it is not inviting other applicants to apply. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Yvonne Morales at 415-464-5221 or yvonnemorales@nps.gov.
