CESU White Nose Syndrome Funding Proposal | NPS 18 NERO 0075

Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0075

The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "CESU White Nose Syndrome Funding Proposal" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 18 NERO 0075) is a discretionary funding notice that serves strictly as a public announcement of the agency's intent to make an award, rather than an open call for proposals. In other words, it is not a request for applications and is not structured as a competitive solicitation where new applicants submit proposals for consideration. Instead, it functions as formal public notice that NPS plans to provide financial assistance for specific project activities connected to White-nose syndrome work under a Cooperative Agreement.

This opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, reflecting an emphasis on research-driven and technical efforts. The assistance mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project alongside the recipient, such as collaboration on project direction, coordination, or other hands-on participation beyond what is common in a standard grant. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number associated with the award is 15.945.

The listing indicates an award ceiling of $49,999, setting the maximum expected federal funding amount for the project described in the notice. The expected number of awards is not specified in the provided data. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," but because the announcement is explicitly not a request for applications, the eligibility field should be interpreted in context: it does not imply that the opportunity is currently open for general competition, and it is more likely tied to a specific intended recipient or a limited set of partners (often the case with CESU-related cooperative agreements).

Key administrative dates included in the notice show a creation date of July 3, 2018, and an original closing date of July 13, 2018. In this kind of notice, the closing date generally corresponds to the end of the public posting period rather than a deadline for submitting an application, since no applications are being requested. Overall, the purpose of the posting is transparency: it informs the public that NPS intends to award financial assistance for project activities related to White-nose syndrome, using a cooperative agreement structure and with funding up to $49,999.
