Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) government funding action tied to Hurricane Sandy recovery work, specifically a project called "Health and resiliency of salt marshes in Jamaica Bay Post Hurricane Sandy study." The key point is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, NPS is publicly signaling that it plans to make a single award without full and open competition to support specific, pre-identified project activities related to assessing salt marsh condition and resilience in Jamaica Bay after Hurricane Sandy.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates NPS expects substantial involvement in the work (for example, coordination, technical input, shared planning, or oversight during project execution) rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding is categorized under "Other" with the explanation "Hurricane Sandy," reinforcing that the project is part of Sandy-related response, recovery, or resilience efforts. The CFDA listing associated with the action is 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which is commonly used for collaborative research and resource-focused projects that benefit national park system units and related resources.
Financially, the notice indicates one expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $275,897. The award floor and ceiling are both $275,897, which typically means the planned award amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The posting date and creation date are both August 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 23, 2014, and an archive date of August 24, 2014. In the context of a notice of intent rather than a competition, these dates function more like an administrative public notice window than an application deadline for prospective applicants.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," but the accompanying eligibility language repeats the central limitation: this is not a competitive opportunity and is simply public notice of NPS intent to fund project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, that means outside organizations should not expect to apply through this announcement. Anyone needing access to the full announcement or experiencing issues retrieving it electronically is directed to contact the listed grants management specialist, Patrick Reidy, by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email contact also referenced in the notice.
