Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Studies of Nitrogen Deposition in the Rocky Mountains" focuses on understanding how reactive nitrogen is deposited in key high-elevation park ecosystems and where that nitrogen is coming from. The work is centered on Rocky Mountain National Park and the surrounding region, with additional study activities in Grand Teton National Park. In practical terms, the project is aimed at characterizing nitrogen deposition (how much is being delivered to these landscapes and by what pathways, such as wet or dry deposition) and identifying the likely sources contributing to that deposition (for example, emissions transported from upwind urban, industrial, or agricultural areas). Because reactive nitrogen can drive ecological changes such as soil and water acidification, nutrient imbalance, and shifts in plant communities, the overall purpose is to strengthen the scientific basis for park resource management and air quality-related decision-making.
This opportunity was issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the Natural Resources funding activity area, with an estimated total funding amount of $679,629 and an award ceiling of the same amount (the award floor is listed as $0). Only one award was expected. The notice makes clear that the National Park Service intended to make the award on a non-competitive basis through a task agreement issued to Colorado State University. The award was to be made under an already-existing Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement Number H2370094000). The announcement is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a non-competitive award, citing Department of the Interior policy and Department Manual 505 DM 2 as the authority and procedural basis for proceeding without open competition.
Administrative details show the opportunity number as NPS NOIWASOJ2350107303 and the posting and creation date as August 24, 2010. The original and current closing dates were both August 26, 2010, indicating a very short public notice window that is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting rather than an open solicitation. The archive date is September 25, 2010. No cost sharing or matching requirement was identified. Eligible applicants are listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the intended recipient being a public university partner within the CESU network.
For access or questions, the listed point of contact is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Studies of Nitrogen Deposition in the Rocky Mountains (National Park Service)
What is the title of this National Park Service grant opportunity?
The opportunity is titled "Studies of Nitrogen Deposition in the Rocky Mountains."
What is the main purpose of this project?
The project is focused on understanding how reactive nitrogen is deposited in key high-elevation park ecosystems and determining where that nitrogen is coming from. The overall purpose is to strengthen the scientific basis for National Park Service resource management and air quality-related decision-making.
What does the project aim to study about nitrogen deposition?
In practical terms, the work aims to (1) characterize nitrogen deposition, including how much nitrogen is being delivered to the landscape and by what pathways (such as wet or dry deposition), and (2) identify likely sources contributing to that deposition, such as emissions transported from upwind urban, industrial, or agricultural areas.
Why is reactive nitrogen a concern for park ecosystems?
Reactive nitrogen can drive ecological changes, including soil and water acidification, nutrient imbalances, and shifts in plant communities. Understanding deposition levels and sources helps support science-based management decisions.
