Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Survey of Mexican beaver and exotic nutria in the Rio Grande, Big Bend NP" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR7137120033), was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work within Big Bend National Park. The project centers on surveying the Mexican beaver and the non-native, exotic nutria in the Rio Grande corridor, which suggests an emphasis on documenting species presence, distribution, and potentially the ecological implications of these semi-aquatic mammals in a sensitive riverine environment managed by the National Park Service.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to involve substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating or supporting the project rather than functioning as a typical arms-length grant. The award was structured as a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $27,201, and it lists no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on June 15, 2012, with a closing date of June 20, 2012, and it was later archived on July 20, 2012. The listed CFDA number is 15.945, associated with Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System.
Importantly, this notice was not a request for applications and was not open for competitive proposals. Instead, it served as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award to Texas State University under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites the Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the basis for making a noncompetitive award, indicating the agency had a specific partner and mechanism already identified for accomplishing the work.
For administrative questions or trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
