Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00032
Monitoring Surveys (2018) to Support Long-Term Monitoring of Bird Communities in National Park Service Units (BAND, MEVE, PEFO) of the Southern Colorado Plateau Network is a National Park Service funding notice issued under the Department of the Interior. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00032 and was created on December 7, 2017, with an original closing date of December 17, 2017. It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.945. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the NPS indicated an expected single award with a maximum amount (award ceiling) of $99,868.
The central purpose of the project is to support long-term monitoring of bird communities in specific National Park Service units within the Southern Colorado Plateau Network. The parks referenced by the acronyms BAND, MEVE, and PEFO correspond to NPS sites in that network and are the focal units for the 2018 monitoring surveys. In practical terms, the funded work is intended to carry out monitoring surveys that contribute data needed for tracking changes in bird community composition and trends over time, supporting ongoing resource management and conservation decision-making in these parks.
A key point of this announcement is that it is not a request for applications and is not open for competitive proposals. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service intends to fund the described project activities without competition. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being available in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" text field, but the overall structure and wording make clear that the agency already plans to make a non-competitive award for this specific monitoring effort rather than solicit multiple applicants.
Because it is a cooperative agreement, the arrangement typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project compared with a standard grant. While the notice does not provide methodological details in the excerpt provided, the title and program framing indicate the award supports field-based monitoring surveys and related work products that feed into the National Park Service's long-term ecological monitoring objectives for bird communities across the named Southern Colorado Plateau Network units.Apply for P18AS00032
