Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00709
The opportunity titled "An Assessment of Bee Populations and Regional Pollinator Diversity at Pinnacles National Park" is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not asking outside parties to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency notice that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a single, pre-identified award rather than through full and open competition.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement (Funding Instrument Type: Cooperative Agreement), which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as collaborating on study design, coordinating field access and logistics within the park, aligning work with park resource management needs, and helping ensure the results are usable for management decisions. The project is associated with Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00709, and the specific agreement referenced is Cooperative Agreement P18AC01408.
The intended recipient is Utah State University, identified as a partner under the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The CESU network is commonly used by federal land management agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on applied research and technical assistance. In this case, the relevant umbrella partnership is noted as Cooperative and Joint Venture Agreement P16AC01260, which provides the framework that allows NPS to work with CESU partners like Utah State University for research projects of this type.
The work itself focuses on assessing bee populations and documenting broader regional pollinator diversity at Pinnacles National Park. While the notice does not list methods or deliverables in detail, the title indicates a natural resources research effort aimed at understanding the status, composition, and possibly distribution or trends of bee communities and other pollinators in and around the park. Projects like this are generally intended to support park resource stewardship by improving baseline knowledge of pollinator biodiversity, identifying conservation concerns, and informing monitoring or management actions in response to threats such as habitat change, climate stressors, disease, pesticide exposure, or invasive species.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding under the Natural Resources activity area (Funding Activity Category: Natural Resources) and is tied to CFDA number 15.945. The listing indicates an award ceiling of $59,459, with one expected award, reflecting that this is a single, directed funding action rather than a program that will make multiple competitive awards. The creation date of the notice is September 18, 2018. The "Original Closing Date" is explicitly stated as not applicable because there is no application period; the notice exists only to inform the public of NPS's intent to proceed with this noncompetitive cooperative agreement.
Although the eligible applicant category is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, that eligibility information is largely academic in this context because the agency is not soliciting proposals. The key takeaway is that NPS is announcing its intention to fund Utah State University, through the Great Basin CESU partnership framework, to carry out a focused assessment of bees and pollinator diversity at Pinnacles National Park, with total anticipated funding up to $59,459 and an expectation of close NPS involvement typical of a cooperative agreement.Apply for P18AS00709
