Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for work titled "Development of an ecosystem conceptual model and modeling approach for the Herring River restoration project." It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a request for applications and is not opening a competitive solicitation. Instead, NPS is providing public transparency that it plans to proceed with a specific task agreement (P12AC10896) under an existing cooperative agreement framework (H4503090700) with a named partner, the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies.
The opportunity sits in the environment and natural resources area and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs tied to resources of the National Park System. The central purpose is to support restoration planning for the Herring River project by developing an ecosystem conceptual model and an accompanying modeling approach. In practical terms, this kind of work typically involves organizing and documenting how the system functions (key habitats, species, hydrology/tidal exchange, water quality, sediment processes, and human influences), identifying cause-and-effect relationships relevant to restoration actions, and selecting or designing modeling methods that can predict or compare outcomes under different restoration scenarios. The deliverable is usually intended to help decision-makers understand ecological tradeoffs, anticipate responses to restoration actions, and guide monitoring and adaptive management.
Funding for the action is fixed at an estimated total of $29,000, with both the award ceiling and floor listed at $29,000, indicating NPS anticipated one award at that exact amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that NPS expected substantial involvement in the project (for example, coordination on objectives, review of methods and products, and integration with park or restoration planning needs), as opposed to a more hands-off grant structure.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), aligning with the named intended cooperator. The timeline shows it was posted July 6, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 11, 2012, and an archive date of July 12, 2012. Those dates reflect the administrative window for posting the notice rather than a period for accepting applications, since the announcement is not competitive and points interested parties to the attachment in the full announcement for complete details.
For access issues or questions about the posting, the notice provides an NPS contact: Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, phone 215-597-9153, associated with CESU and the Herring River Restoration effort.
