Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project called "Sierra Nevada Yellow legged Frog Genetic Analysis for Yosemite National Park." This notice is strictly a public announcement that NPS plans to provide funding for specific project work without using a full and open competitive process. It is not a solicitation and it is not requesting proposals or applications from the public. In other words, the award is effectively pre-identified and the announcement exists mainly to document transparency around the agency's intent to fund a particular partner for a defined set of activities.
The funding will be made through a cooperative agreement mechanism under a Task Agreement (P13AC00124) tied to an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8C07080001). The intended recipient is the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), participating as a partner within the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network. CESUs are collaborative partnerships that federal agencies use to access scientific expertise, research capacity, and technical services through established cooperative frameworks, which often supports projects related to natural and cultural resource stewardship on public lands. The project fits within the Environment and Natural Resources activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System.
Financially, the opportunity lists a single expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $50,000. The award floor and ceiling are both $50,000, indicating the NPS anticipates a fixed project budget at that exact level rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving this support. Eligible applicant types are described as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with UCSB's status, although in practice this specific notice does not invite other institutions to apply because it is not a competitive opportunity.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted and created on March 14, 2013, and it was archived on March 21, 2013. Both the original and current closing dates state, "This is not a request for applications," reinforcing that there is no application window and no open competition. The listing appeared on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00014 and includes an additional information link to the Grants.gov posting for reference.
