Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Assessment of Water Quality Conditions in and around Four Pacific Northwest Coastal Parks." This notice is a public transparency posting rather than a competitive grant announcement, meaning it is explicitly not a request for applications and does not invite proposals from the general public. Instead, it serves to inform the public that NPS intends to provide funding for specified project activities without full and open competition.
The planned award is being made through a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s direction or execution compared to a standard grant. The work will be carried out under Task Agreement P14AC01693, issued under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8W07110001) with the University of Washington. The University of Washington is identified as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a network commonly used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and educational activities tied to natural and cultural resource management.
From a programmatic standpoint, the opportunity sits in the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA numbers 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The notice indicates NPS anticipates making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $41,118. The posting lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. Although the listing includes an "eligible applicants" category (public and state-controlled institutions of higher education), that eligibility detail is largely informational here because the award is not being competed; it is a directed intent to fund a specific partner for a specific scope of work.
The announcement was posted and created on September 9, 2014, and it was archived on September 16, 2014. Both the original and current closing dates are stated as "THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," reinforcing that there is no application window and no submission process. For those seeking more detail, the notice points to Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00356 and provides a contact for access issues: William Nash, Contract Specialist, reachable at 415-623-2262 or WilliamNash@nps.gov.
