Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Technical Assistance for Veterinary Pathology and Diagnostic Services for the National Park Service" is a discretionary funding notice issued by the National Park Service (NPS) under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI WASO 2340110038. It was posted and created on August 23, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2011, and it was later archived on September 29, 2011. The activity category is listed as Environment, and it falls under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, indicating that NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation.
This announcement is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent rather than a fully open competitive solicitation. In practical terms, that means NPS was signaling its plan to make a single award rather than inviting broad competition. The agency stated it intended to award one project (Expected Awards: 1) to Colorado State University under an existing CESU arrangement (CESU Agreement H2370094000). CESU stands for Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units, a network designed to support collaboration between federal agencies and partner institutions such as universities, often to provide scientific research, technical assistance, and education in support of public land and resource management.
The planned project is described as providing technical assistance for veterinary pathology and diagnostic services to support the National Park Service. While the notice does not list specific tasks or deliverables, the title and context strongly suggest support for wildlife and resource health needs across national park units, such as diagnostic evaluation of animal disease events, veterinary pathology consultation, and laboratory or field-based diagnostic support. In the NPS context, these services typically help park managers respond to animal morbidity and mortality events, evaluate potential infectious diseases or toxic exposures, and inform management decisions related to wildlife conservation, visitor safety, and ecosystem health.
The financial details indicate an estimated total funding amount of $138,000, with an award ceiling of $138,000 and an award floor of $1, meaning the maximum planned award was $138,000 and the minimum allowable award amount in the system was nominal. The opportunity states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award. Eligible applicants are listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the named intended recipient, Colorado State University.
