Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Determine Long Term Flood History" (Funding Opportunity Number AJ5430090050) focused on supporting scientific field research in Congaree National Park. The project goal is to provide professional expertise to conduct field studies that determine the long-term flood history of the Congaree River as it relates to the park. In practical terms, the work is aimed at improving the park's understanding of historical flooding patterns over extended timeframes, information that can be important for resource management, ecosystem planning, and interpreting natural processes in one of the nation's notable floodplain environments.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the award would likely involve substantial involvement or collaboration with the National Park Service during the course of the work, rather than operating as a fully independent grant. The funding activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, which signals that the primary purpose is research-oriented and technical in nature, with an expectation of field-based investigation and professional analysis to reconstruct flood history.
The total estimated funding for the project was $19,534, and the opportunity was structured to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The award ceiling and award floor were both set at $19,534, indicating a fixed award amount rather than a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education. That restriction suggests the National Park Service intended the work to be carried out by a qualified academic organization, such as a private university or college, presumably with relevant expertise in hydrology, geomorphology, floodplain ecology, sedimentology, dendrochronology, or related disciplines that can support long-term flood reconstruction using field evidence and analytical methods.
The announcement timeline shows it was posted on October 23, 2009 (created October 20, 2009), with an original and final closing date of October 28, 2009, reflecting a short application window. The opportunity was archived on November 27, 2009. The CFDA number was listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used when a program does not align neatly with a single established CFDA listing.
For applicants or parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the National Park Service provided a contact: Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist, at (404) 507-5747 or cherylrichardson@nps.gov.
