Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS) published a Notice of Intent (NOI) for a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "University of Montana (Terrestrial) Ecosystem Climate Change Adaptation" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS WASO NOI 2340100067). The focus of the opportunity is climate change adaptation in terrestrial ecosystems, specifically supporting work that helps park managers adjust how they plan and carry out vegetation management, fire management, invasive plant control, and ecological restoration in response to changing conditions. Rather than treating each park as an isolated unit, the opportunity emphasizes decision-making that works both locally and across broader, connected landscapes.

A central purpose of the proposed funding is to strengthen partnerships across landscapes through Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs). The idea behind this landscape-scale approach is that climate-driven ecological changes, wildfire regimes, invasive species spread, and restoration needs rarely stop at administrative boundaries. By coordinating across multiple jurisdictions and landowners, parks can align strategies and share data, tools, and practices that improve overall ecosystem resilience and adaptive capacity.

The notice highlights that park managers will need to revise and refine on-the-ground programs and prescriptions, including how they manage plant communities, plan for fire and fuels, prevent or respond to invasive plant incursions, and design restoration projects that can succeed under future climate conditions. The intent is not a single, one-size-fits-all tactic; adaptation is framed as a set of actions that will take many forms and occur at multiple scales, from site-level treatments to regional coordination. The underlying management goal is to either restore or maintain adaptive capacity where possible, or to proactively prepare for ecological change where maintaining historical conditions may no longer be feasible.

From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was issued by the National Park Service under the Natural Resources activity area, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The estimated total funding amount listed is $20,000, with an award ceiling of $20,000 and no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicant category is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the title referencing the University of Montana. The expected number of awards is listed as 0, which is typical of some NOIs and can indicate that the notice is for planning, partner engagement, or pre-announcement communication rather than a standard open competition with a fixed award count.

Key dates in the posting show it was posted and created on Aug 31, 2010, with an original and current closing date of Sep 7, 2010, and an archive date of Oct 7, 2010. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which often appears when an opportunity does not map cleanly onto a single established CFDA program listing.
