Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Department of the Interior for a project called "Analysis and publication of long term Channel Islands National Park kelp forest monitoring data." It is posted as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement mechanism, and it sits in the Natural Resources activity area. The key point is that it is not an open competition and not a request for applications; instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to provide funding to a specific partner without full and open competition.
The NPS intends to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $40,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is not using the standard competitive range fields because it is not soliciting proposals and already has a defined project and amount.
The planned work will be carried out under Task Agreement P14AC01661, which falls under Cooperative Agreement P13AC00676. The recipient identified is the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), participating as a partner under the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESU agreements are often used by federal land-management agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and applied science projects tied to public lands and resources. In this case, the focus is on taking long-term monitoring data from kelp forests in Channel Islands National Park and moving it through analysis and publication, which implies turning accumulated monitoring datasets into interpreted results and formal outputs that can be shared with managers, scientists, and the public.
Administrative details included in the notice are the Grants.gov identifiers and timing. The Funding Opportunity Number is P14AS00343 and it was posted on September 4, 2014 (PostedDate and CreationDate both Sep 4, 2014). The listing was archived on September 11, 2014. Both the original and current closing dates explicitly state "THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," reinforcing that no applications will be accepted through this posting. The CFDA number referenced is 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, aligning the award with NPS research and resource stewardship objectives.
Eligibility is listed as "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," but in practice this notice is documenting NPS intent to fund UCSB specifically under the existing CESU partnership framework rather than inviting other eligible institutions to apply. For additional details, the notice points to an Additional Information link on Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov). The named contact for access issues is William Nash, Contract Specialist, reachable at 415-623-2262 or WilliamNash@nps.gov.
