Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0008
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a public notice describing its intent to fund a specific project called "Inventory of Amphibians and Reptiles at Gateway National Recreation Site" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0008). This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead of opening a competitive application process, NPS is announcing that it plans to support the work through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition, meaning the agency already has an intended partner and is documenting that intention for transparency.
The project itself focuses on conducting a field inventory of amphibian and reptile populations at Gateway National Recreation Area (Gateway NRA). The planned field effort is substantial and time-bound: survey work is scheduled for 20 days each month during the period from March through August 2017. The purpose of this schedule is to capture amphibian and reptile activity across the spring and summer seasons, when detectability and breeding activity for many species are higher and when different habitat types may reveal different species presence.
Methodologically, the inventory is designed to follow established protocols used in a previous amphibian and reptile inventory at Gateway NRA, referenced as methods used by Cook (in draft). Using consistent methods helps ensure that results are comparable over time and reduces the risk that changes in observed species presence are simply due to different survey techniques. To maximize the likelihood of detecting a wide range of species across different habitats, the work will employ multiple survey tools and approaches. These include coverboards (artificial shelters that attract and concentrate secretive species such as salamanders, snakes, and small reptiles), turtle traps (to sample aquatic and semi-aquatic turtles), dipnetting (to collect larval amphibians and other aquatic herpetofauna in wetlands and shallow waters), nighttime call surveys (to document breeding frogs and toads by their vocalizations), and visual encounter surveys (systematic searches for animals in appropriate microhabitats). The approach is intentionally diverse because amphibians and reptiles vary widely in behavior, habitat use, and the times of day or seasons when they are easiest to detect.
The project also includes an adaptive component: as field data come in, specific species may be targeted for additional survey effort. In practice, this means that if initial results suggest certain species are present but under-detected, or if there are indications of rare, sensitive, or management-relevant species, the team can adjust effort to improve confidence in occurrence data. This kind of targeted follow-up can strengthen the final inventory by reducing uncertainty and increasing the usefulness of the results for park resource management decisions.
Administratively, the announcement lists an expected single award with an award ceiling of $69,627 and anticipates one funded agreement. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for both opportunity category and funding activity category, uses the cooperative agreement instrument type, and is associated with CFDA number 15.945. The posting was created on December 20, 2016, with an original closing date of December 29, 2016, reflecting that the notice function is primarily public disclosure of intent rather than an open call for proposals. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with additional details typically provided in the full eligibility clarification field, but given the non-competitive intent stated throughout, the key takeaway is that this notice serves to document NPSs plan to fund the specified inventory work at Gateway NRA using an identified partner rather than soliciting applications from the general public.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0008
