Opportunity Summary:
The Ever Restoration Meeting 2015 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00076) was published by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding notice for a single cooperative agreement tied to the Annual EVER Restoration Meeting. The key point of the announcement is that it was not an open, competitive solicitation. It functioned as a formal notice of intent to make an award specifically to the University of Florida, and the agency clearly stated multiple times that no proposals would be accepted from other organizations.
From a funding and program perspective, the opportunity sat within the National Park Service program listed under CFDA 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, with activity areas referenced as Environment, Humanities (with a note to see Cultural Affairs in CFDA), and Natural Resources. The anticipated number of awards was one, with an estimated total funding amount of $37,000. The award ceiling was also $37,000, and the award floor was listed as $0, which is a common way of expressing that the final award could be up to the ceiling depending on finalized terms, scope, and budget. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated.
In terms of timing and status, the announcement was posted and created on March 31, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 1, 2015, and an archive date of April 30, 2015. Those dates reinforce that this was essentially an administrative posting to document an intended cooperative agreement rather than a window for applicants to prepare and submit proposals. While eligible applicant types were listed broadly as private institutions of higher education and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education, the notice language makes it clear that the intended recipient was the University of Florida and that the opportunity was not open for competition.
For applicants or members of the public looking for official documentation, the announcement pointed readers to Grants.gov for the full posting. The listed point of contact for access issues was Celinda Hicks, Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 305-242-7742 or by email at CelindaHicks@nps.gov.
