Opportunity Summary:
The "Steller Sea Cow" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number J9911100025) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award, not an open call for applications. Its purpose is simply to provide public notice that the NPS plans to fund a specific set of research and documentation activities under a new, two-year cooperative agreement issued through a CESU (Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit) arrangement. The anticipated period of performance runs from June 30, 2010 through June 29, 2012, with an anticipated total award amount of $78,000 and no cost share or matching requirement.
The sole eligible recipient identified in the announcement is the University of Alaska Fairbanks, with Dr. Alexander Burdin listed as the principal investigator. The announcement is categorized as discretionary funding, with the funding activity described as research, and it is listed under CFDA 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified). The statutory authority cited is 16 U.S.C. 1(g), which allows the NPS to enter into cooperative agreements that transfer appropriated funds to public entities, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations to carry out public purposes aligned with NPS programs (consistent with 31 U.S.C. 6305).
A key point in the notice is that this is effectively a single-source action tied to prior competitive processes rather than a new competition. The project has a history of being competed through the NPS Shared Beringian Heritage Program, which reportedly runs nationwide announcements annually and selects projects through a three-step process: internal NPS review, ranking by a FACA-compliant external stakeholder panel, and final selection by the NPS. The notice states that the cooperator proposed the project and that it was competed in fall 2009, supporting the justification that only one responsible source (University of Alaska Fairbanks) will satisfy the agency requirements and that further competition is not practical for this award action.
The deliverables are clearly laid out and emphasize both scientific reporting and public-facing media products. Required outputs include a first-year expedition report due December 20, 2010 and a first-year draft documentary video due March 1, 2011. The second year repeats this structure, with a second-year expedition report due December 20, 2011 and a second-year draft documentary video due March 1, 2012. The project then culminates in a final scientific report due April 30, 2012, along with a final documentary video delivered by June 30, 2012 in both English and Russian. In addition to the documentary, the project is expected to produce popular articles in both Russian and English by June 30, 2012, suggesting an outreach component aimed at broader audiences and cross-border (Beringian) engagement.
Administrative details in the posting indicate it was posted June 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2010, and an archive date of July 26, 2010. Even though it lists closing dates like a typical grants.gov posting, the text makes clear it is not accepting applications. The NPS point of contact is Erica Cordeiro (EricaCordeiro@nps.gov), listed as a contract specialist, with a phone number of 907-644-3303 for access or announcement-related issues.
