Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) issued this funding notice as a notice of intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award to The Wildlife Society, Inc. (a qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofit). The purpose is to support the Wildlife Society's Native American Professional Development Program and related professional and research activities that benefit Native American students and strengthen collaboration around natural resource stewardship topics relevant to public lands. Rather than being an open competition, this action is described as a task agreement under an already-existing cooperative agreement with the Wildlife Society (Cooperative Agreement H2340090039), and it is issued under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2) that allows for this type of directed, non-competitive award.
The work supported through this agreement is centered on three main areas. First, it provides support for Native American students pursuing research, including topics such as integrating Indigenous knowledge into public lands management, which can include bringing Tribal perspectives and long-standing ecological knowledge into the way parks and other public lands are managed. Second, it supports the continued development of activities and products associated with the Human-Wildlife Conflict Collaboration, which generally involves practical work on reducing conflicts between people and wildlife through shared tools, guidance, outreach materials, and coordination among partners. Third, it supports the planning and development of professional gatherings, including conferences, workshops, and other national and regional meetings, which are meant to build skills, share results, and strengthen networks among practitioners, researchers, and partners.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as a discretionary natural resources funding action using a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically implies substantial involvement or collaboration between the federal agency and the recipient during the project. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIWASOP11AT70830, and the associated CFDA program listing is 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship). The estimated total funding is $31,500, which is also listed as the award ceiling, with an award floor of $0. The notice anticipates one award, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on August 15, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 18, 2011, and an archive date of September 17, 2011. Because this is a notice of intent for a non-competitive award under an existing cooperative agreement, the short window is consistent with an administrative posting rather than a typical open application cycle.
For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the NPS listed a contact: Alicia Broner, Contract Specialist, National Park Service, phone 303-987-6734.
