Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding announcement (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0078) describing a cooperative agreement that has already been awarded to the University of Rhode Island (URI). It is explicitly not a request for applications and is being posted for informational and recordkeeping purposes rather than to solicit proposals or compete funds. The project focus is the acquisition coordination, compilation, data management, and change analysis of LiDAR and other geospatial datasets collected before and after Hurricane Sandy, supporting research and operational needs tied to National Park System resources.
The cooperative agreement centers on managing and making sense of high-resolution elevation and mapping information (LiDAR in particular) in the context of storm impacts. In practical terms, this kind of work typically involves coordinating the collection of datasets across partners, assembling pre-storm and post-storm datasets from multiple sources, standardizing formats and metadata, storing and organizing data for long-term use, and performing comparative analyses to detect and quantify landscape change. For Hurricane Sandy, change analysis commonly relates to coastal erosion and deposition, dune and beach morphology changes, overwash and breaching, shoreline position shifts, and other topographic or land-cover impacts that affect park units and surrounding coastal systems. The outcome is usually a curated, usable geospatial data inventory and analytical products that can inform damage assessment, restoration planning, hazard mitigation, and future monitoring.
Financially, the announcement lists a single expected award with a total funding amount of $775,500, and both the award ceiling and floor are set at $775,500, indicating a fixed, predetermined award amount rather than a range for competitive applicants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with cooperative agreements that support applied research, technical capacity, and resource stewardship activities benefiting national parks.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on July 16, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 20, 2013, and an archive date of July 21, 2013. Although it lists eligible applicants as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the repeated statement that this is not a request for applications makes clear that eligibility information is largely procedural and does not imply an open competition. The agency name is the National Park Service, and the contact listed for access issues is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153. The notice also references URI data management, reinforcing that the work is being carried out by URI under the cooperative agreement.
