Development of a Coastal Geomorphological Monitoring Protocol Gateway Monitoring and Production of Annual and Trend Reports | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, notice of intent to award funding for a specific, pre-identified project: "Development of a Coastal Geomorphological Monitoring Protocol Gateway Monitoring and Production of Annual and Trend Reports." It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting competing proposals from the broader public. Instead, it serves as a transparency notice that the agency intends to fund a particular set of activities through an existing partnership mechanism and without full and open competition.

The award is structured as a continuation under a Cooperative Agreement, with the work issued through Task Agreement P11AT40626 under Cooperative Agreement H4503090700. The designated cooperator is Rutgers University, which aligns with the stated eligibility category of private institutions of higher education. Because it is a continuation and tied to a specific task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, the practical takeaway is that other organizations are not being invited to apply for this funding, and the award is effectively already assigned.

From a technical standpoint, the project focus is coastal geomorphological monitoring at Gateway (commonly referring to Gateway National Recreation Area). The scope implied by the title includes developing or refining a standardized monitoring protocol for tracking coastal landform change and implementing monitoring activities, then producing both annual reporting and longer-term trend reports. In a park and coastal management context, this type of work typically supports resource stewardship by documenting shoreline movement, erosion and accretion patterns, dune and beach morphology changes, and other indicators of coastal dynamics. Annual and trend reporting suggests an emphasis on turning monitoring data into recurring management-ready products that can inform planning, risk assessment, and adaptive management over time.

The funding amount is fixed and small-to-moderate in size, indicating a narrowly defined project budget. The estimated total funding is $59,849, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $59,849, which usually means the agency anticipates making a single award for that exact amount. The announcement lists one expected award and states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.

Administratively, the opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources as the activity area, and it references CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System), which is commonly used for NPS partnerships that support research, monitoring, and technical assistance connected to park resource management. The posting date and creation date are July 8, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 12, 2011, and an archive date of July 13, 2011. Those tight dates are consistent with a notice-of-intent posting rather than a competitive grant cycle, since the purpose is public notice rather than collecting applications over an extended period.

For anyone seeking more detail, the notice indicates that complete information is contained in an attachment under the "Full Announcement." The contact provided for access issues is Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 410-260-2473, with Rutgers University noted in the contact block. Overall, the key points are that this is a sole-source continuation cooperative agreement action intended for Rutgers University, funding a defined coastal monitoring protocol and reporting effort at Gateway, with a single award of $59,849 and no open competition.
