Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a discretionary natural resources project titled "Predict Condor Range Expansion to Reduce Development Threats" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00559). This notice is strictly a public announcement that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities; it is not a request for applications and there is no open competition associated with this posting. In other words, organizations should not interpret it as a grant competition or an invitation to submit proposals, since the recipient and vehicle for the work have already been identified.
The planned funding would be made through a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates an assistance relationship where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The project falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is listed under CFDA number 15.945, which aligns with NPS assistance programs. The award ceiling shown for the notice is $95,763, with NPS anticipating a single award.
NPS states it intends to make this award without full and open competition via Task Agreement P16AC01641 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00749) with Colorado State University (CSU). CSU is identified as a partner under the Rocky Mountains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, a cooperative research and technical assistance partnership structure that agencies often use to access university expertise for ecosystem and resource management needs. The eligible applicant type listed for the opportunity is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," which is consistent with CSU being the intended recipient.
As conveyed by the title, the project purpose is to improve the ability to predict California condor range expansion so that development-related threats can be reduced. While the notice does not provide methodological detail, the framing suggests work that would support planning and decision-making around where condors are likely to expand their use of landscapes, allowing managers and stakeholders to anticipate conflicts and mitigate risks tied to development. The overall intent is to apply scientific analysis to conservation and management, helping NPS and partners make more informed choices that protect condors as they move into or reoccupy areas where human activities could pose hazards.
The notice was created on August 25, 2016. The "original closing date" field explicitly reiterates that this is not a request for applications, reinforcing that there is no application window and no competitive submission process for this announcement.
