Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Evaluation of the adequacy of tidal datum information within Northeast Region coastal parks" is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement announcement from 2013 that serves primarily as a public notice of an award, not as a call for new applications. In other words, this posting is not inviting organizations to compete for funding; it is documenting that the University of Rhode Island (URI) is the recipient for a project connected to natural resources and environmental work in coastal park settings within the NPS Northeast Region.
The core focus of the project is the evaluation of tidal datum information used in and around coastal parks. Tidal datums are standardized reference levels derived from long-term tide observations (for example, mean higher high water, mean sea level, and related measures) that are used to map shorelines, define coastal elevations, support navigation and habitat assessments, and guide coastal management decisions. In the context of National Park Service coastal units, having accurate and locally appropriate tidal datum information matters for practical reasons like understanding flooding and inundation patterns, assessing salt marsh elevation and health, planning for sea level rise impacts, and ensuring that park mapping and resource monitoring are tied to reliable vertical reference points. The announcement indicates that URI will be carrying out work to assess whether existing tidal datum information is adequate for the Northeast Region coastal parks, which implies an applied technical review intended to support better decision-making and resource management.
Administratively, this award is listed under Funding Opportunity Number "NPS 13 NERO 0038" and is categorized as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation repeatedly clarifying that the posting is simply an announcement of the selected recipient rather than an open competition. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with research and technical support efforts undertaken in partnership with academic institutions and other entities to benefit NPS resource stewardship.
The posting indicates that one award was expected and that the total funding amount is $35,500, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $35,500, meaning the award amount was fixed 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 accompanying eligibility text again emphasizes that the award has already been made to URI, reinforcing that this notice is informational rather than solicitational. The posting date and creation date are both June 4, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 9, 2013, and an archive date of June 10, 2013, reflecting a short public notice window typical of already-determined awards posted for transparency.
For anyone needing assistance accessing the full announcement details, the contact listed is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153. Overall, the announcement documents an NPS-funded cooperative research effort led by the University of Rhode Island to review and determine whether the tidal datum data available for Northeast Region coastal parks is sufficient for the parks' management, mapping, and environmental monitoring needs.
