Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement focused on assessing the invasion of the Asian Swamp Eel (Monopterus albus) in and near the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA). It is explicitly labeled as "NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," meaning it is not an open, competitive funding opportunity for the general public to apply to. Instead, it documents NPS intent to fund a specific partner under an existing cooperative framework.
The work is tied to the Great Plains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network. The intended recipient is Oklahoma State University, operating under a previously awarded Master Cooperative Agreement (P16AC00011). The justification given is that Oklahoma State University, and specifically Dr. James M. Long and his research team, have the specialized expertise, familiarity with the watershed, and technical capacity needed to conduct the study and develop appropriate mitigation protocols. In practical terms, this is a targeted award to an identified collaborator rather than a call for new applicants.
The project purpose is to support NPS management of natural resources in the Chattahoochee River corridor by improving understanding of an invasive fish that threatens park resources. The Asian Swamp Eel is present adjacent to and within CRNRA management boundaries, and NPS views it as a risk to the biological community and broader ecosystem values the park is tasked with protecting and interpreting. The planned effort centers on assessing how far the invasion has spread and evaluating the species' potential for reproduction and movement (including emigration) within the CRNRA context. The notice also emphasizes collaboration with state and other non-federal partners, reflecting the shared jurisdiction and cross-boundary nature of invasive species management.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category, with CFDA number 15.945. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIP14AC01383 02. The posting lists an award ceiling of $300,000 and anticipates a single award, consistent with the named-recipient structure. The creation date is July 5, 2016, with an original closing date of July 15, 2016, which functions more like a notice timeline than an application deadline for broad competition, given the "not a request for applications" designation.
Overall, the notice signals NPS support for a focused research and assessment project intended to map the extent of Asian Swamp Eel presence in the CRNRA area and inform mitigation approaches, executed through a pre-qualified CESU partner (Oklahoma State University) with established expertise in the species and the Chattahoochee River watershed.
