Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Tree Level Monitoring of Giant Sequoia Response to Drought." This announcement is strictly a public notice and not a request for applications, meaning the NPS was not seeking proposals from the broader public and there was no open competition process associated with this posting. Instead, it serves to document the agency's intent to provide funding through an existing cooperative framework.
The work was planned to be funded as a cooperative agreement under Task Agreement #P15AC00996, which sits beneath Cooperative Agreement P13AC00676. The intended recipient was The Regents of the University of California at Berkeley, participating as a partner under the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). This structure reflects how the NPS often supports research and monitoring projects through established partnership networks, especially when the project aligns with specialized scientific expertise and ongoing collaborative programs.
From a programmatic standpoint, the project falls under the Natural Resources activity area and is linked to CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The purpose implied by the title is to monitor giant sequoias at the individual-tree level to better understand how these iconic trees respond to drought conditions, information that can guide resource management decisions in national parks and other protected areas where giant sequoias occur.
Financially, the posting listed an estimated total funding amount of $60,000, with an award ceiling of $60,000 and an award floor of $0, and it indicated that there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The announcement anticipated a single award, consistent with the stated intent to make a non-competitive award to a specific partner institution rather than conduct a competitive grant process.
Key administrative details include the Grants.gov funding opportunity number P15AS00187 and a posted/creation date of July 1, 2015. Because it was not an open solicitation, both the original and current closing dates were effectively "This is not a request for applications," and the record was archived on July 10, 2015. Eligibility language in the listing references public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which matches the designated recipient (a public university entity).
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact was Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 415-623-2251 or by email at LiletteBaltodano@nps.gov.
