Opportunity Summary:
The Wilderness Monitoring grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIIMRO10277) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice in the Natural Resources category. It was issued by the NPS to support a specific task agreement connected to wilderness monitoring work in the Intermountain Region, based out of Denver, Colorado. The core purpose of the task agreement is to recruit and provide allowances for "wilderness fellows," indicating a program that places fellows in roles that support wilderness stewardship and monitoring activities tied to NPS priorities in the region.
This notice is explicitly labeled "for informational purposes only" and functions as a Notice of Intent rather than an open competitive solicitation. In practice, that means the NPS was signaling its intention to make an award to a particular organization rather than inviting applications from the general public. The identified intended recipient is American Conservation Experience, and the award would be executed as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement. The funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically suggests substantial federal involvement or collaboration during the project as compared with a standard grant.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $46,600 and anticipates a single award. Both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices where the agency is not using those fields in a meaningful way, especially for informational or intent-to-award postings. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the federal funding was not contingent on the recipient providing non-federal matching funds.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.931, titled "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." That CFDA alignment strongly indicates that the wilderness fellows component is structured around youth or young adult conservation service, workforce development, or related service-based stewardship efforts that support conservation outcomes while providing participants with training and paid allowances.
Timing details show the notice was posted and created on May 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 3, 2012, and an archive date of May 4, 2012. The very short posting window is consistent with a notice of intent to award, where the agency is meeting public notice requirements rather than running a full application process. Eligible applicants are listed broadly as "Others," but the additional eligibility text clarifies that the notice is not a general competition and is tied to the intent to award to the named organization under an existing agreement.
For anyone needing assistance accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact is Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable at 505-988-6042.
