Opportunity Information: Apply for NOIP16AC00042
The Cuyahoga Valley Cooperative Wildlife Management grant opportunity (NOIP16AC00042) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on natural resources work, specifically coordinated deer management within Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CUVA) in Ohio. The project is structured as a continuation of an existing effort rather than a brand-new, openly competed program. Under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2), the NPS must provide written justification whenever it makes a single-source award, explaining why a competitive process is not practical. In this case, the rationale is that the work is ongoing and time-sensitive, and introducing competition would disrupt continuity and could negatively affect completion of the activity.
At the center of the project is operational cooperation between the NPS and Cleveland Metroparks (CMP). CUVA spans portions of both Cuyahoga and Summit counties, and CMP owns land within the CUVA boundary in Cuyahoga County, directly adjacent to NPS-managed parcels. The planned deer herd reduction (culling) is intended to occur across both NPS and CMP lands during the same winter window, from January through March, so that management actions are aligned across property boundaries and the effort is handled as one coordinated operation rather than disconnected activities that could undermine each other.
The on-the-ground workflow described in the opportunity is straightforward but specialized. After deer are culled, NPS staff will transport carcasses to CMP-owned processing facilities. CMP staff will then process the deer, with both NPS and CMP personnel participating in biological and tissue sampling. A key purpose of the sampling is chronic wasting disease (CWD) detection, which is a significant wildlife health concern that requires consistent collection, handling, and testing protocols. The combination of coordinated reduction efforts and systematic disease surveillance is meant to support park ecosystem health and responsible wildlife management.
CMP is presented as uniquely qualified to carry out this work in partnership with NPS for several concrete reasons tied to place and capability. CMP not only owns and manages relevant lands within the CUVA boundary, but it also has a long track record, having conducted deer herd reduction, sampling, processing, and donation of venison to regional food banks for 18 years on its CUVA-within-boundary lands. That history implies established staffing, facilities, procedures, and community relationships needed to process animals efficiently and handle sampling properly. These factors (location, property ownership, and demonstrated technical capacity) are used to justify the single-source nature of the award, since shifting to a different partner would likely introduce delays, require duplicating infrastructure, or reduce coordination across adjacent land units.
In funding terms, the notice references Cooperative Agreement P16AC00042, which originally provided $17,250. The current action described is a modification to add $20,000 in additional funding to support the project activities as they continue. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $95,000 and anticipates a single award, reinforcing that this is designed as a targeted continuation with one established partner rather than a broad solicitation seeking multiple competing proposals. The opportunity was posted January 19, 2017, with an original closing date of January 30, 2017, and it is categorized under CFDA 15.944, with eligible applicants broadly described as "Others" subject to the eligibility clarifications in the full notice.Apply for NOIP16AC00042
