Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "San Francisco Bay Area National Parks Landbird Monitoring" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00451). This notice functions as a public transparency step rather than a competitive funding announcement. In practical terms, it is not inviting new proposals or applications; instead, it is notifying the public that NPS plans to provide funding for a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive award.
The planned award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates a project where the federal agency expects to be actively involved in the work (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently). The activity focus falls under Natural Resources, and the program is associated with CFDA number 15.944. The recipient identified for this action is Point Blue Conservation Science under Cooperative Agreement P16AC01268, meaning NPS intends to fund this particular organization to carry out landbird monitoring activities within national parks in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Eligibility information in the posting notes nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as eligible applicants in general for this type of opportunity category. However, because this specific notice is not a request for applications and explicitly states the intent to fund without full and open competition, there is no application period, no competitive selection process, and no closing date for submissions. The posting date (creation date) is August 4, 2016, and the original closing date field reiterates that applications are not being requested.
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $94,000 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The core purpose is to support landbird monitoring in the San Francisco Bay Area national parks, which generally involves systematic surveys and data collection to track bird populations, distribution, and trends over time. Monitoring like this is commonly used by park managers and conservation scientists to evaluate ecosystem health, detect changes that may be linked to habitat conditions or broader environmental pressures, and guide management decisions and conservation priorities within park units.
