Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agencys intent to make a single, specific award related to climate change impacts on natural resources in Shenandoah National Park. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not seeking proposals from the public and is instead providing formal public notice that it plans to fund a predetermined partner through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition. In practice, these notices are used when an agency has already identified the recipient and the project scope, and the posting serves transparency requirements rather than launching a competitive grant cycle.
The award is identified as Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0055, titled "Shenandoah National Park Assess Climate Change Factors that Impact the Natural Resources." The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the announcement anticipates one award. The intended recipient is the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, an eligible applicant type described in the notice as a public or state controlled institution of higher education. The specific agreement referenced is Cooperative Agreement H4484010004.
Financially, the posting indicates a total estimated funding amount of $40,938, with both the award floor and award ceiling set at $40,938. That structure reinforces that this is a single, fixed-size planned award rather than a competitive program with a range of possible award amounts. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on September 23, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 28, 2010, and an archive date of September 29, 2010. Because the announcement is not soliciting applications, these dates function more like an administrative public notice window rather than a true application period. Anyone looking for project specifics is directed to review the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link on the original posting, which would contain the detailed rationale for the non-competitive award and the description of the planned project activities.
For access or administrative questions, the notice provides a point of contact: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215 597 6476. The posting also points general users to Grants.gov help resources for navigation questions, but since this is not an open solicitation, the key takeaway is that the NPS had already selected the University of Virginia partner and was announcing its intent to proceed with that cooperative agreement to support work assessing climate change related factors affecting Shenandoah National Parks natural resources.
