Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0016
The grant opportunity titled "Multi-Scale Program in Virginia to Assess Change in the Acid-Base Chemistry of Mountain Streams" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0016) is a National Park Service notice describing an intended award rather than an open, competitive funding opportunity. In practical terms, it is not a call for proposals and it is not inviting applications from the general public. Instead, it functions as a formal public notice that the Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, plans to support a specific set of project activities without competition.
The planned funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply issuing funds. Cooperative agreements often include active federal participation such as collaboration on study design, coordination on field activities, shared decision-making on deliverables, or technical oversight. The activity category is environmental, and the project focus is on assessing changes in the acid-base chemistry of mountain streams in Virginia, implying work that may involve water quality monitoring, analysis of long-term chemical trends, and evaluation of how stream chemistry responds across different spatial scales (for example, individual stream reaches, watersheds, and broader regional patterns). While the notice does not list detailed tasks or methods in the provided text, the title indicates an emphasis on understanding acidification and recovery processes in mountain stream systems, which can be influenced by atmospheric deposition, geology, land cover, hydrology, and episodic events such as storms or snowmelt.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance programs. The agency listed is the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and the posting was created on January 23, 2017, with an original closing date of February 1, 2017. Since this is not a solicitation, the "closing date" is best understood as the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline for prospective applicants.
Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $50,000 and an expectation of one award, reinforcing that the National Park Service intends to fund a single project or partner for this work. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the note that clarification would appear in an additional eligibility information field (not included in the provided text). In many non-competitive NPS cooperative agreement notices, this can reflect an intended partner organization such as a university, a nonprofit, a research institute, or another qualified entity with a history of working with the NPS on similar monitoring or research efforts.
Overall, the key takeaway is that this announcement is essentially an administrative transparency step: it signals the NPS intent to make one non-competitive cooperative agreement award, up to $50,000, to support a Virginia-based multi-scale assessment of mountain stream acid-base chemistry, falling under an environmental monitoring/research purpose and tied to NPS assistance authority rather than a standard open grant competition.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0016
