Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action for a project titled "Assessment of bat populations and white nosed syndrome at Cape Cod National Seashore and Fire Island National Seashore." It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency step to announce that NPS intends to fund specific project activities without full and open competition, typically indicating the agency plans to make a direct or otherwise non-competitively competed award to a particular partner.
The planned award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funding. The assistance listing (CFDA) associated with the action is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with research, monitoring, and resource management work carried out in partnership with external entities to support NPS units. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation clarifying that the key feature of the announcement is the notice-only, non-competitive intent.
Financially, the opportunity indicates a single expected award with total estimated funding of $82,293. The award floor and ceiling are both $82,293, which usually means the funding amount is fixed for this particular planned agreement rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
In terms of eligibility, the posting lists "Others" as eligible applicants, but the accompanying eligibility information repeats that this is not an application opportunity. In practice, this supports the interpretation that the intended recipient is already identified and that the notice is issued to document the agency's intention to proceed without competition.
The timeline reinforces that it is informational rather than competitive: it was posted June 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 23, 2014, and an archive date of June 24, 2014. Those short windows are typical of notice postings meant to satisfy public notice requirements rather than allow time for proposal development.
The project focus, as reflected in the title, is to assess bat populations and the presence or impacts of white-nose syndrome at two NPS sites: Cape Cod National Seashore (Massachusetts) and Fire Island National Seashore (New York). White-nose syndrome is a major wildlife health issue affecting bats, and work under a project like this commonly includes field monitoring, population assessment, and disease surveillance to inform management decisions. The announcement itself does not provide technical details on methods or deliverables, but it clearly frames the effort as research and assessment work in support of NPS resource stewardship.
