Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Shared Birds - Swainson's Thrush and Western Tanager Migration Research" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8100120177) is a discretionary grant action intended to support natural resource research focused on the migration of two bird species: Swainson's Thrush and the Western Tanager. The mechanism for support is a cooperative agreement issued through the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), and the award is described as a task agreement under that CESU framework. The posting date and creation date were both April 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 23, 2012, and an archive date of May 23, 2012.
This notice is not a competitive solicitation and is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive (single-source) award, consistent with Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency was not seeking proposals from the general public or a broad pool of applicants, and there was no open competition for the funding. Instead, NPS stated in the eligibility information that this announcement is not a request for applications and that the award is intended as a single-source action to the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory. While the listing shows the eligible applicant category as "Others" with a reference to additional eligibility text, the key point is that eligibility was effectively limited by design because the award recipient was pre-identified.
The opportunity falls under the funding activity category of Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which relates to Cooperative Research and Training Programs tied to resources of the National Park System. NPS anticipated making one award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding amount for the action is listed as $30,000. The posting indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor fields are both shown as $0, which typically reflects that the specific financial constraints were not expressed through those particular fields in the summary record, rather than implying that no funding would be provided.
Administratively, the announcement directs interested parties who cannot access the full notice electronically to contact William Tallbull, a Grant/Agreement Specialist, at 303-969-2891. The description also notes that further details are contained in an attached announcement, which would normally include the specific statement of work, deliverables, period of performance, reporting requirements, and any additional terms associated with the CESU task agreement.
