Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Status and Distribution of Odonates at Cape Cod National Seashore" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 16 NERO 0078) is a discretionary funding notice from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It is listed under CFDA 15.944 and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning the work is carried out through a formal partnership arrangement rather than a typical grant where the recipient operates more independently. The funding activity category is labeled "Other," which generally signals that the project does not fit neatly into common program buckets and is being described primarily through its project-specific purpose.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead of inviting proposals from the public, it functions as an informational announcement that the National Park Service has already entered into a cooperative agreement with the Massachusetts Audubon Society (MAS) to conduct work related to documenting and understanding the status and distribution of odonates at Cape Cod National Seashore. Odonates are insects in the order Odonata, which includes dragonflies and damselflies, and projects like this typically involve field surveys, mapping occurrences, and assessing habitat associations to improve knowledge of where species occur and how they are doing over time.
The posting indicates an expected single award with an award ceiling of $70,000, reflecting the maximum anticipated federal funding amount for this agreement. Eligible applicants are described as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with MAS being a qualified nonprofit partner. The notice was created and posted on June 9, 2016, with an original and current closing date of June 19, 2016. Since it is not competitive and not accepting applications, the closing date functions more like an administrative posting window than a deadline for proposal submission.
In practical terms, the key takeaway is that the National Park Service used this announcement to document a decision already made: MAS is the partner organization selected for the cooperative effort to evaluate dragonfly and damselfly presence and distribution across Cape Cod National Seashore. The notice does not provide a scope of work breakdown, deliverables, or study methods, but the title and description make clear the project focus is biological inventory or status assessment work intended to support resource management at the park.
