Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) Hurricane Sandy-related grant action for a project titled "Assessing the response of juvenile and adult hard clams to the new breach in Great South Bay Post Hurricane Sandy study." It is published as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency notice that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition, typically because the work is tied to a particular partner, ongoing effort, or an urgent post-disaster research need.
The project focus is on hard clams in Great South Bay and how both juvenile and adult clams are responding to environmental changes associated with a new breach created by Hurricane Sandy. In practical terms, this kind of study generally aims to understand how altered water exchange, salinity patterns, sediment movement, water quality, and related habitat conditions after a storm-driven inlet or breach can affect shellfish survival, growth, distribution, and recruitment. By separating attention between juvenile and adult life stages, the work is positioned to capture differences in vulnerability and recovery dynamics, since younger clams often respond differently to shifts in water conditions and predation pressure than established adult populations.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0042 and was issued by the National Park Service under CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs, Resources 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 beyond simply issuing a grant, such as collaboration on study design, coordination, data sharing, field logistics, or integration of results into park or resource management decisions. The announcement lists one expected award with total estimated funding of $98,193. The award floor and ceiling are both $98,193, signaling that the planned award amount is fixed rather than a range.
There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so the recipient is not expected to contribute a mandatory non-federal match. The eligibility field indicates "Others" but clarifies that this is not an application-based competition; the central point is that NPS is announcing its intent to fund identified project activities without full and open competition. The posting and creation date are June 10, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 15, 2014, and an archive date of June 16, 2014. These dates function more as a public notice window than a traditional application deadline, since the announcement is not soliciting proposals.
For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email referenced in the notice.
