TNC Part Two, Examine the Influences of Climate Change on Birds while Training International Interns at Bandelier and Mesa Verde | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "TNC Part Two, Examine the Influences of Climate Change on Birds while Training International Interns at Bandelier and Mesa Verde" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action that was posted on April 11, 2012 and scheduled to close on April 16, 2012, with an archive date of May 16, 2012. It is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR7127120073 and falls within the Natural Resources funding activity category. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to be carried out with substantial involvement from the federal agency rather than as a simple pass-through grant.

This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications and is not open competition. Instead, it functions as a formal notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to The Nature Conservancy (TNC). The justification for doing this noncompetitively is cited as being in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified TNC as the intended recipient and published the notice to document and communicate that intention, rather than soliciting proposals from a broader pool of applicants.

The project itself, as reflected in the title and brief description, focuses on examining how climate change is influencing bird populations while simultaneously training international interns, with work centered at Bandelier National Monument and Mesa Verde National Park. While the short summary does not list specific tasks, the theme indicates a blend of applied ecological research or monitoring (birds as climate-sensitive indicators) alongside capacity building and workforce development (training interns in field methods, data collection, and related research practices). The presence of two park units suggests comparative or coordinated work across different landscapes in the Southwest, potentially to understand how shifting temperature, precipitation patterns, or habitat changes may be affecting bird communities in distinct ecological settings.

Administratively, the award is to be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are collaborative networks designed to connect federal land management agencies with partner organizations to support research, technical assistance, and education. Issuing the project through the Desert Southwest CESU indicates the work aligns with CESU objectives such as ecosystem science, resource management support, and training. The opportunity lists an expected number of awards as one, with an estimated total funding amount of $31,710. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, and both the award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which commonly indicates the system entry did not specify a range even though an estimated total amount was provided.

The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," reinforcing that the project combines research and training in service of NPS resource stewardship. For anyone seeking more details but unable to access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2891.
