Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Development of a Coastal Geomorphological Monitoring Protocol" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0023) is a continuation notice rather than an open call for proposals. It is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it announces that Rutgers University has already been selected and has received an award to continue ongoing work related to coastal geomorphological monitoring under a Cooperative Agreement. In practical terms, this posting functions more like a public record of a continuation award than a competitive grant solicitation.
The purpose of the agreement is to provide scientific support for the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network geomorphological monitoring program. The work focuses on tracking and understanding how coastal landforms change over time, with emphasis on shoreline position and coastal topography. The monitoring targets beaches, spits, and dunes, which are dynamic features that respond to storms, sea level changes, seasonal wave energy, sediment movement, and human management actions. By developing and refining a monitoring protocol, the project supports consistent data collection and analysis that can be used to detect trends, compare sites, and guide resource management decisions across multiple parks.
The activities described include field collection of shoreline data using GPS, along with broader data gathering to document and quantify how park shorelines, beaches, and dune systems evolve over time. This includes both coastal shoreline monitoring (where the shoreline is and how it shifts) and topographic monitoring (how the elevation and shape of beach and dune surfaces change). These types of measurements are commonly used to evaluate erosion and accretion patterns, dune recovery after storms, and the impacts of major coastal events, helping park managers understand vulnerability and resilience along protected shorelines.
Monitoring under this task agreement will take place at Fire Island National Seashore and Gateway National Recreation Area, two highly dynamic coastal units in the Northeast that face ongoing pressures from storms and long-term coastal change. In addition to the direct field and analytical work at these locations, Rutgers, as the cooperator, will also provide assistance to other Northeast Region coastal parks that have related geomorphological monitoring needs. This support role suggests an emphasis on consistency and knowledge transfer across the region, such as helping other parks adopt methods, interpret data, or align monitoring approaches with network standards.
Administratively, the award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement under CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The opportunity is categorized as continuation funding, tied to prior work identified as Task Agreement number P11AC90897, meaning the project builds directly on an existing framework rather than starting from scratch. The posting lists a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $40,059, and both the award ceiling and floor set at $40,059, indicating a fixed continuation amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. While the eligible applicant category is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the notice reiterates multiple times that Rutgers University has already received the award, so other institutions are not being invited to apply under this announcement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this an open National Park Service grant opportunity I can apply to?
No. This notice is explicitly not a request for applications and not an open call for proposals. It is a continuation notice that serves as a public record of an award that has already been made.
What is the title and Funding Opportunity Number for this notice?
The title is "Development of a Coastal Geomorphological Monitoring Protocol" and the Funding Opportunity Number is NPS 13 NERO 0023.
Who has already been selected for this award?
Rutgers University has already been selected and has received the award to continue ongoing work under a Cooperative Agreement.
What is the main purpose of the Cooperative Agreement?
The purpose is to provide scientific support for the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network geomorphological monitoring program, with a focus on tracking and understanding how coastal landforms change over time.
What kinds of coastal features are being monitored?
The monitoring targets beaches, spits, and dunes, which can change in response to storms, sea level changes, seasonal wave energy, sediment movement, and human management actions.
What types of measurements and monitoring are included?
Activities include field collection of shoreline data using GPS and broader data gathering to document and quantify shoreline, beach, and dune-system changes over time. The work includes both shoreline position monitoring (where the shoreline is and how it shifts) and topographic monitoring (how elevation and surface shape change).
What is meant by "shoreline monitoring" in this project?
Shoreline monitoring refers to measuring where the shoreline is located and tracking how it moves over time, which helps identify patterns of erosion and accretion.
What is meant by "topographic monitoring" in this project?
Topographic monitoring refers to measuring how the elevation and shape of beach and dune surfaces change over time, which can be used to assess storm impacts, dune recovery, and overall coastal vulnerability and resilience.
Which parks or sites will the monitoring work take place in?
Monitoring under this task agreement will take place at Fire Island National Seashore and Gateway National Recreation Area.
Does the project support work beyond Fire Island and Gateway?
Yes. Rutgers University, as the cooperator, will also provide assistance to other Northeast Region coastal parks with related geomorphological monitoring needs, supporting consistency and knowledge transfer across the region.
Why is this posting described as a continuation rather than a new competition?
It is categorized as continuation funding tied to prior work (Task Agreement number P11AC90897). This indicates the project is building directly on an existing framework rather than starting a new, competitively solicited project.
What is the award mechanism for this funding?
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement.
What CFDA program is associated with this Cooperative Agreement?
The notice lists CFDA 15.945, described as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System.
How many awards are expected under this notice?
The posting lists a single expected award.
What is the total estimated funding amount?
The estimated total funding amount is $40,059.
Is the funding amount flexible, or is it fixed?
