Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Shenandoah National Park, VA, Assess Climate Change Factors that Impact the Natural Resources" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 11 NERO 0082), is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding rather than an open call for proposals. In practical terms, it is not a request for applications and does not invite competitive submissions from the public. Instead, the NPS is issuing a formal public notice that it plans to provide funding through a modification to an existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement H484010004) with The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia. The purpose of the notice is transparency: it informs the public that the agency intends to proceed without full and open competition, using an established partnership framework rather than soliciting new applicants.
The project focus is environmental and centers on evaluating climate change-related factors that affect natural resources within Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. While the notice does not lay out a full technical scope in the summary text provided, the title signals work aimed at understanding how climate-driven variables (for example, shifts in temperature patterns, precipitation changes, extreme weather events, or related ecological stressors) may influence park ecosystems and resource conditions. Cooperative agreements are commonly used by federal agencies when the work involves substantial involvement by the government alongside the recipient, which often indicates collaborative planning, shared scientific or technical input, and coordination between NPS staff and university researchers.
The total anticipated award amount is fixed at USD 55,412, with both the award ceiling and floor listed as 55,412, meaning the NPS expected a single award at that exact amount. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the cooperative agreement instrument type. It lists the activity category as environment, expects one award, and states that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used in listings where a more specific assistance program identifier is not provided in the public-facing record.
Key dates indicate the notice was posted on August 4, 2011, created the same day, and had an original and current closing date of August 9, 2011, with an archive date of August 10, 2011. Those dates reflect the administrative posting window for the notice of intent, not a competitive application period, since the action is tied to modifying an existing agreement rather than selecting among new applicants.
Eligibility is listed as private institutions of higher education, which aligns with the intended recipient being a university. However, because this is explicitly not a request for applications, the eligibility field does not function as an invitation for other institutions to apply; it is simply consistent with the type of entity involved in the planned award.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement attachment, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. The notice also references Grants.gov navigation help through the general "Contact Us" resources, which is standard language included in many federal postings.
