Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Restoring Rare Frogs in Yosemite National Park." This posting is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not requesting applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to fund specific project activities through a non-competitive award mechanism.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The work would be issued as Task Agreement P15AC01412 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00676) with the Regents of the University of California, Santa Barbara. UC Santa Barbara is identified as a partner within the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a network used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education tied to natural and cultural resource management.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $160,000, with an award ceiling of $160,000 and an award floor of $89,087. The NPS anticipated making one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient would not be expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the funding is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System.
In terms of eligibility, the notice lists public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as eligible applicants, but the practical intent of the posting is to document NPS's plan to proceed with a specific partner without full and open competition. The notice was posted and created on August 18, 2015, and archived on August 28, 2015. Because it is only a notice of intent and not an open solicitation, there is no application deadline, and both the original and current closing dates are explicitly stated as "This is not a request for applications."
Anyone seeking the full announcement details was directed to Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00266. For access issues or questions about the notice itself, the contact provided was William Nash, Contract Specialist, at 415-623-2262 or WilliamNash@nps.gov.
