Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) issued a Notice of Intent for a discretionary cooperative agreement titled "Wildlife Conservation Society - Bison Ecological Conservation" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS WASO NOI 2340110012). The focus of the effort is bison ecological conservation on the American landscape, with an emphasis on practical, science-based approaches to managing, restoring, and conserving bison and the habitats they depend on. A core goal is not only to support conservation work itself, but also to capture and document effective strategies for addressing complicated natural resource challenges that arise when bison conservation intersects with multiple land uses, jurisdictions, and stakeholder interests.
A central component of the proposed agreement is a multi-stakeholder workshop designed to bring together relevant partners and practitioners working on bison conservation. The workshop is intended to generate specific technical outputs and deliverables that can be used broadly by both government and private entities involved in bison management and restoration. One of the key products anticipated from the workshop is the technical information needed to produce formal proceedings, which would serve as a shared reference for best practices, lessons learned, and coordinated approaches to bison conservation challenges.
The opportunity reflects the agency's view that the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is uniquely positioned to support this work, citing WCS as one of the few organizations with an established history of expertise in these areas. Because this is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent only, it signals the agency's planned direction and rationale for engaging WCS rather than functioning as an open competition for multiple applicants.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The activity category is Natural Resources. NPS anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000, with an award ceiling of $20,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education).
The notice was posted and created on February 17, 2011, with an original and current closing date of February 24, 2011, and an archive date of March 26, 2011. For access issues or questions related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Kortni Selinger, Contract Specialist, at 303-987-6734 or kortniselinger@contractor.nps.gov.
