Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00637
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project called "Condition Assessment of Bear Management and Indicators at Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks." This notice is strictly a public announcement that NPS plans to make an award; it is not a solicitation and does not invite applications or proposals from other parties. In other words, there is no open competition associated with this announcement, and the agency is documenting its intent to fund a specific set of activities through a pre-identified agreement mechanism.
The planned award is a discretionary cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00637) under Cooperative Agreement #P18AC01320. The recipient identified in the notice is Oregon State University, participating as a partner through the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). Because this is a CESU-based cooperative agreement, the structure typically reflects collaborative work between NPS staff and the university partner, rather than a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently. The activity area is classified under Environment and Natural Resources, aligning with NPS responsibilities for wildlife stewardship, visitor safety, and resource protection.
At a practical level, the project is intended to evaluate or "take stock" of bear management conditions and management indicators within Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. While the notice does not provide technical details about methods, the title strongly suggests an assessment focused on how bear management is performing and what measurable indicators are being used to track outcomes. In national park contexts, bear management assessments often relate to monitoring human-bear interactions, bear behavior influenced by human food access, the effectiveness of food storage and waste management practices, and trends that can inform visitor management and resource protection decisions. The use of the term "indicators" implies that the project will likely identify, compile, or analyze metrics that can be tracked over time to evaluate management effectiveness and changing conditions.
The opportunity is listed with a maximum federal funding amount (award ceiling) of $48,790 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The CFDA listing associated with the notice is 15.945, and the eligible applicant category shown is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which matches the identified partner institution, Oregon State University. The notice was created on September 4, 2018. Since it is not a request for applications, the posting includes no closing date for submissions and does not provide application instructions, because the award is intended to proceed directly to the named partner without full and open competition.
Overall, this announcement functions as a transparency and compliance step: NPS is informing the public that it plans to fund a targeted, collaborative university partnership to assess bear management conditions and performance indicators at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, using a cooperative agreement mechanism and a modest, clearly defined funding amount for a single recipient.Apply for P18AS00637
