Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOI 17 CESU 20125652
The opportunity titled "LiDAR-based Resource Management for National Park Service sites within the Southeast Coastal Network" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action focused on producing LiDAR-derived inventories and usable geospatial products to support resource management at selected NPS units in the Southeast Coastal Network. In practical terms, the project is about collecting or leveraging LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data and turning it into functional datasets that park staff and scientists can use for planning, monitoring, and decision-making tied to natural resource conditions across coastal and near-coastal park landscapes.
This notice is specifically issued as a Notice of Intent (NOI), meaning it is not being released as an open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, the NPS is signaling its intent to make a single, non-competitive award through the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework. The award would be made under an existing CESU Master Cooperative Agreement (P12AC51051), and the notice cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the authority supporting this type of directed, non-competitive agreement. CESUs are designed to facilitate partnerships, often involving universities and other research entities, for applied science and technical work that supports federal land and resource management, and this opportunity is being handled within that established partnership structure.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, which typically implies substantial federal involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which aligns with NPS assistance for natural resource-related work. The opportunity number is "NPS NOI 17 CESU 20125652," and the posting shows a creation date of June 2, 2017, with an original closing date of June 12, 2017. The short window is consistent with NOI postings that primarily serve public notice requirements rather than soliciting full proposals from the general public.
In terms of who could receive the award, eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with clarification indicated in an additional eligibility text field (not included in the excerpt). In the CESU context, this usually points to eligibility being limited to partners or categories of partners recognized under the specific CESU network and its rules, rather than open eligibility to all entities. The listing anticipates one award ("ExpectedAwards: 1"), reinforcing that this is a single-recipient, non-competitive task agreement rather than a multi-award competition.
Financially, the listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which commonly indicates that the amount is either to be determined, documented elsewhere, or not captured in the public-facing summary fields even though a funded task agreement is intended. The key takeaway is that the main purpose is technical and applied: generating LiDAR inventories and creating functional datasets and products for a targeted subset of National Park Service sites in the Southeast Coastal Network, presumably to improve the parks ability to manage landscapes, habitats, and other natural resources using high-resolution elevation and structure information derived from LiDAR.Apply for NPS NOI 17 CESU 20125652
