Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to fund a specific, pre-identified research effort focused on coastal and marina sediment dynamics: "Evaluating the Geomorphological and Sedimentological Effects of a Demonstration Project for Restoring Bayside Sediment Processes at Sailors Haven Marina." The core idea is to study how a demonstration restoration project affects shoreline shape and seabed/nearshore sediment behavior in and around Sailors Haven Marina, with an emphasis on whether the project helps reestablish more natural "bayside" sediment movement patterns. In practical terms, the project is about measuring and interpreting changes to landforms (geomorphology) and sediments (sedimentology) that occur when an intervention is made to improve or restore how sand and other materials are transported, deposited, and reworked along the bayside environment.
Administratively, this is not a competitive grant solicitation. The announcement is explicitly labeled a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" and states it is not a request for applications. NPS is providing public notice that it plans to issue funding without full and open competition by modifying an existing task agreement (Modification 0001 to Task Agreement J1750100795) under an already-established cooperative framework (Cooperative Agreement H4503090700), which is associated with the CESU network. The identified cooperator for the work is Rutgers University, meaning the funding is essentially directed to Rutgers through this cooperative agreement mechanism rather than being opened up for other applicants to compete.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically signals a more collaborative relationship between the federal agency and the recipient than a standard grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, aligning with the subject matter of coastal processes, sediment transport, and habitat or shoreline management concerns that fall under stewardship of National Park System resources. The CFDA listing is 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which is consistent with NPS partnering with an academic institution to conduct research that informs management decisions.
In terms of funding details, the announcement indicates there will be a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total of $128,097. Both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $128,097, which implies the amount is fixed for this action rather than variable based on proposals or scopes from multiple applicants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The posting date is August 8, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 14, 2011, and an archive date of August 16, 2011. Those dates matter mostly for the public record, since the notice is not inviting submissions; they reflect the short window for posting and documenting the agency's intent rather than a period for proposal development. Eligibility is listed as "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," which matches Rutgers University as the intended partner, but the key point is that the agency is not seeking competing applications.
For anyone needing the underlying documentation, the notice indicates that complete details are in an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section (as referenced on the original posting platform). The point of contact provided is Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 410-260-2473, specifically for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically. Overall, the notice functions as a transparency step: it publicly records NPS's plan to fund Rutgers University to evaluate the physical and sedimentary outcomes of a sediment-process restoration demonstration at Sailors Haven Marina, using a cooperative agreement modification rather than an open competition.
