Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Technical Assistance to the GRYN monitoring program" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR2120120011) is a discretionary grant action intended to support natural resource monitoring work associated with the GRYN monitoring program. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The activity is being issued under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), specifically as a task agreement, which is a common CESU mechanism used to partner with a designated organization for research, technical assistance, and related support.
This announcement is a notice of intent rather than an open solicitation. It is explicitly described as noncompetitive and single-source, issued under the Department of the Interior authority at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is not requesting or accepting applications from the public. The eligible applicant language reflects this: the announcement states it is not a request for applications and identifies the Sonoran Institute as the sole recipient for this action. Because it is not a competitive opportunity, the typical elements associated with open grant competitions (broad eligibility, application packages, evaluation criteria, and selection timelines) are not the focus here; the public notice function is primarily to document the intended award and its justification under applicable noncompetitive procedures.
The opportunity was posted on June 22, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 27, 2012, and an archive date of July 27, 2012. The short open period is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting rather than a competitive call for proposals. The NPS anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $35,120. The posting lists an award ceiling and floor of $0, which often appears in systems when a fixed ceiling is not entered in the standard field even though an estimated total funding amount is provided elsewhere in the record. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, covering Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, indicating the recipient is not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award.
For additional details that would normally appear in the full announcement attachment (such as a more specific statement of work, deliverables, period of performance, reporting expectations, and the nature of the technical assistance to be provided), the notice directs interested parties to the attached materials. If there are issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
