Enhancing Visitor Experience through Noxious Weed Management
Enhancing visitor experiences through weed management Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (FLFO) is in the process of enhancing its noxious weed management program to protect and preserve the native vegetation species throughout the park.
The parkâ¿¿s management team will work with the Ecology Team of the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) at Colorado State Univ.
(CSU) to cooperatively plan for and implement enhanced treatments, mapping and monitoring of new populations of noxious weeds.
The CHNP Ecology Team has many years of experience mapping, treating, and monitoring vegetation across Colorado.
CNHP is also very familiar with FLFO having been a partner with NPS Rocky Mountain Inventory and Monitoring Network and others to complete the FLFO vegetation map and inventory.
This project focuses on evaluating, monitoring, treatment of noxious weeds, native seed collection, plant salvage, and recommendations for revegetation of disturbed areas with native plant species.
The project will also include the mapping of treatment areas, early detection mapping, and the development of data sets for the parkâ¿¿s annual Pesticide Use Proposal System annual report.

Additional Information of Eligibility:
A.
Proposals may be submitted only by U. S. universities with degree-granting programs in science and/or engineering.
Ineligible organizations (e.g., industry, DoD laboratories, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), and foreign universities) may collaborate on the research.
Eligible universities may submit proposals either individually or collectively, as consortia.
Proposing universities may establish research collaborations with industry or FFRDCs.
This measure allows universities the ability to access relevant experience outside of academia.
Costs for industry and/or FFRDC participation can be covered by sub-award of HEL-MRI funds and/or by funds otherwise available to them.
The main purpose of this initiative is to support university research; hence it is expected that award funds will remain vested substantially with the university, at least fifty-one percent (51%).
DoD laboratories can team with the universities to conduct the research but cannot receive HEL-MRI funds awarded via this funding opportunity announcement.
Proposals involving multiple organizations must name one principal investigator at a university as the responsible technical point-of contact.
This university will be the primary awardee for purposes of award execution.
The relationship among the research team members and their respective roles, as well as the apportionment (i.e., subaward by the primary awardee) of funds must be described in both the proposal text and budget.
B.
All responsible sources from academia and industry may submit proposals under this FOA.
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs) are encouraged to submit proposals and join others in submitting proposals.
However, no portion of this FOA will be set aside for HBCU and MI participation, due to the impracticality of reserving discrete or severable items of this research for exclusive competition among such entities.
C.
FFRDCs, including Department of Energy National Laboratories, are not eligible to receive awards under this FOA.
However, teaming arrangements between FFRDCs and eligible principal Offerors are allowed so long as such arrangements are permitted under the sponsoring agreement between the Government and the specific FFRDC.
D.
Navy laboratories and warfare centers as well as other DoD and civilian agency laboratories are also not eligible to receive awards under this FOA and shall not directly submit full proposals in respon

Is Corporate Philanthropy Dead?
