Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIORPI) is a National Park Service discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resources conservation, specifically to support on-the-ground actions that contribute to the conservation and recovery of the endangered Sonoran pronghorn. The funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out (for example, coordination, shared planning, or technical input), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation.
A key detail is that this is not an open, broadly competitive opportunity for new applicants. It is described as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement with the Arizona Fish and Game Commission. In practice, that means the work is intended to be implemented through an already-established partnership framework, with the task agreement functioning as a specific, time-bounded set of activities or deliverables issued under that pre-existing agreement. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," but the eligibility clarification makes clear the intended recipient is the Arizona Fish and Game Commission via that existing cooperative relationship, rather than the general public or a wide range of organizations.
The purpose of the task agreement is to fund conservation actions that support recovery efforts for the Sonoran pronghorn, an endangered subspecies adapted to the Sonoran Desert. While the announcement text does not list individual project components, the scope is framed around recovery-oriented conservation actions, which typically can include activities such as habitat management and enhancement, monitoring and research needed to guide recovery decisions, coordination among land and wildlife management entities, and other field-based measures that directly improve survival and reproduction or reduce limiting threats. Because the opportunity sits within a National Park Service context and involves a state wildlife agency partner, it reflects an interagency approach to endangered species recovery that often requires coordinated work across multiple jurisdictions and land management responsibilities.
The announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of award. The posting and creation dates are both August 26, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2010, and an archive date of August 31, 2010. That very short open period is consistent with a task agreement action under an existing cooperative agreement, where the funding action is primarily administrative and partner-specific rather than a solicitation designed to attract new proposals.
For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Gary Jordahl, Chief, GLCA Contracting Office, with the provided phone number (928-608-6507). The administering agency is the National Park Service, and the overall intent is to provide targeted support to Arizona’s state wildlife management partner to carry out actions aligned with the recovery of the endangered Sonoran pronghorn.
