Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00651
This notice describes the National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, announcing its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a specific natural resources project focused on the nene (Hawaiian goose). It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award and not a competitive funding announcement, meaning the NPS is not soliciting applications or proposals from the public. Instead, the purpose is to provide public transparency that the agency plans to fund a defined set of project activities with a named partner without full and open competition.
The project is titled "Construct a hierarchical Bayesian model to estimate Nene population dynamics and evaluate monitoring strategies." In practical terms, the work centers on building a statistical modeling framework (a hierarchical Bayesian model) to better estimate how nene populations change over time and to assess how well different monitoring approaches perform. Hierarchical Bayesian models are commonly used in wildlife and conservation science because they can combine multiple data sources, explicitly represent uncertainty, and separate true ecological processes (like survival, reproduction, and population growth) from observation or detection error (the fact that animals are not always seen even when present). The "evaluate monitoring strategies" portion indicates the model will also be used to compare survey designs or monitoring methods, helping managers understand which approaches are likely to produce the most reliable information for the effort and cost involved.
The intended recipient is Conservation Science Partners, identified as a partner under the Hawaii-Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project compared with a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under the natural resources funding activity category. The listed CFDA number is 15.945, and the eligible applicant type noted is nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), although in this case the award is planned for the specified partner rather than through an open application process.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number P18AS00651 and the referenced cooperative agreement number P18AC01334. The notice lists an expected number of awards of one, with an award ceiling of $56,374, indicating the anticipated maximum amount for this agreement. The posting date (creation date) is September 6, 2018, and there is no application deadline because the notice is not a request for applications. Overall, the announcement is primarily an informational posting: NPS is documenting its intention to directly fund a specific organization to develop and apply an advanced population modeling tool for nene management and to improve decisions about how the species should be monitored.Apply for P18AS00651
