Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) grant action titled "Assessing the response of indicator bacteria in Great South Bay to Hurricane Sandy." It is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a competitive funding opportunity and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as formal public notification that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a noncompetitive award process.
The project focus is on understanding how indicator bacteria levels in Great South Bay changed in response to Hurricane Sandy. Indicator bacteria are commonly used as signals of potential fecal contamination and overall water quality conditions, and shifts in their presence after a major storm can help resource managers evaluate post-disaster impacts, risks to ecological and human health, and recovery trajectories. The activity category is listed under "Other," with the explanation tied directly to Hurricane Sandy, indicating the work is associated with storm-related impacts and likely supports post-storm assessment and management decisions within or connected to units of the National Park System.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The announcement anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with total funding of $49,998. The award floor and ceiling are both $49,998, which implies the intended award amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, aligning the work with research and applied science efforts supporting national park resources. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," but the text clarifies that the notice is simply to announce NPS intent to fund specific activities without full and open competition, rather than to invite proposals from the public.
The notice was posted and created on September 10, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 15, 2014, and an archive date of September 16, 2014. Those dates reflect the public notice window for the intended noncompetitive action rather than an application period.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949, with NPS email contact indicated in the announcement.
