About this opportunity

This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Project Title NPS ⿿ Development of a statistical adaptive monitoring framework for sea otters in Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve Recipient Colorado State University Total Anticipated Award Amount $200,000 Cost Share 0.00 Anticipated Length of Agreement 4 Years Anticipated Period of Performance September 9, 2015 ⿿ July 1, 2018 Award Instrument CESU Task Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) and 54 USC 101702(b) CFDA # and Title 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs Single Source Justification Criteria Cited Continuation/CESU task agreement Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro OVERVIEW This task agreement is modified to add $80,000 in support of a second project phase focused on development and documentation of monitoring methods. As described in the original task agreement, two project phases consisting of model development and testing (Phase 1, included in original agreement budget) and monitoring protocol development (Phase 2) are needed to meet project goals and objectives. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Phase II ⿿ Documentation of Methods for Monitoring Sea Otter Spatial Distribution and Abundance in Glacier Bay National Park 1. Refine and optimize spatio-temporal model (currently in review) from Phase I for use in long-term monitoring of the spatial distribution and abundance of sea otters in Glacier Bay National Park using photographic methods. 2. Conduct pilot-study using a preliminary adaptive design and photographic methods to evaluate performance. 3. Collaborate to prepare and produce a peer-reviewed manuscript that describes a model, sampling design, photographic approach, and optimization for monitoring the spatial distribution and abundance of sea otters in Glacier Bay National Park. 4. Collaborate to prepare and produce a protocol for monitoring of sea otters in Glacier Bay National Park, following the guidance of Oakley et al. (2003) and the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Division. The protocol will serve to institutionalize a long-term commitment to monitoring sea otters as a ⿿Vital Sign⿝ in the Glacier Bay ecosystem. The resulting abundance estimates will form the foundation for understanding bottom-up responses and top-down effects of sea otter colonization in Glacier Bay. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Ultimately, through work completed over the course of this agreement, A. CSU will: Assist in producing a monitoring protocol for sea otters in collaboration with Dr. Jamie Womble and the SEAN Data Manager, Bill Johnson, by contributing portions of the protocol narrative and detailed implementation SOPs ( R code) for survey design and analysis NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Milestone Activity Schedule CSU collaborate to publish adaptive design for monitoring sea otters in Glacier Bay in the scientific literature November, 2016 ⿿ June 2017 NPS and CSU collaborate to produce draft protocol narrative and SOPs for final design November, 2016 ⿿ December, 2017 NPS and CSU submit draft sea otter monitoring protocol narrative and SOPs for peer review in the NPS NRR series. December, 2017 SINGLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SINGLE SOURCE POLICY REQUIREMENTS Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award. The justification must address one or more of the following criteria as well as discussion of the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient, as applicable.
