Collaborative Development of Southeast Coast Network Database | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Collaborative Development of Southeast Coast Network Database" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00273) to support a joint project between the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Program, Southeast Coast Network (SECN) and the University of Georgia (UGA) Department of Computer Science. The central purpose of the effort is database development that helps organize SECN natural resource information and make it more accessible and usable for multiple audiences, including the general public, academic researchers, and NPS staff who need reliable data for park management and scientific monitoring.

This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement under the NPS science and technology and research and development category, indicating that the work is meant to be a collaborative partnership rather than a standard grant where the recipient operates largely independently. The notice projected a single award and an estimated total funding amount of $100,813, with cost sharing or matching listed as required. While the award ceiling and floor were both shown as $0 in the listing, the practical funding expectation is captured by the estimated total funding figure, which is typical of how some federal notices summarize anticipated support even when the system fields are not used in the usual way.

A key detail is that this posting was not an open call for proposals. It was explicitly issued as a notice of intent for a single-source award to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, meaning the NPS planned to fund this specific partner without full and open competition. The announcement states it is not a request for applications and was provided primarily to give public notice of the government’s intent to proceed under an existing cooperative agreement mechanism (referenced as Cooperative Agreement P13AC00443). The partnership is described as operating under the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (PSAC), which is part of a broader framework used by DOI agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and training that support public lands and natural resource stewardship.

From an eligibility standpoint, the listing references public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and other eligible entities as categories, but the practical eligibility for this particular action is effectively limited because it is a single-source intent to fund UGA’s research foundation rather than a competitive opportunity. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.945, tied to cooperative research and training programs and resources of the National Park System, reinforcing that the work supports NPS mission needs related to managing, understanding, and sharing information about park natural resources.

The notice was posted and created on August 19, 2014, and later archived on September 2, 2014. Both the original and current closing date fields repeat the point that the notice is not soliciting applications, which aligns with the single-source intent approach. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the contact listed was Alison Smith at the National Park Service (phone 404-507-5754, email AlisonSmith@nps.gov), and the general additional information link pointed to Grants.gov.
