Opportunity Summary:
The Vegetation and Fire Effects Sampling grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOICHDN100041) was a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice tied to natural resources work in and around the Chihuahuan Desert Parks. The core purpose was to support field-based sampling and assessment focused on how fire affects park resources, with an additional emphasis on getting long-term ecological monitoring efforts started. In practical terms, the work was meant to document vegetation and related ecological conditions after fire and create baseline information that could be used to track changes over time, compare burned and unburned areas, and inform future park management decisions.
This announcement was not a typical open competition. It was issued primarily for informational purposes as a Notice of Intent to make an award to a specific organization: the Mountain Alliance of Conservation Corps. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, and the notice indicates the project would be implemented as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement rather than as a standalone new award competed among multiple applicants. The opportunity also required cost sharing or matching, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute some combination of cash, labor, or in-kind support as part of the overall project resources.
From an administrative standpoint, the NPS expected to make one award with an estimated total funding level of $25,000. The listing includes an Award Ceiling and Award Floor of $0, which commonly appears on older notices and generally signals that the specific award amount would be handled through the task agreement terms rather than being expressed as a fixed maximum/minimum in the notice itself. The associated CFDA number was 15.931 (Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations), which aligns with the intended recipient being a conservation corps and suggests the project likely involved youth or corps crews assisting with on-the-ground data collection and monitoring setup under NPS technical guidance.
The timeline was extremely short: it was posted on September 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 3, 2010, and it was archived on September 4, 2010. That short window reinforces that this was not designed as a broad solicitation but as a formal public notice supporting a planned, directed award process under an existing agreement framework.
The agency contact listed for access issues or questions was Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6042.
