Opportunity Summary:
This funding notice, titled "Hurricane Sandy Modeling Salt Marsh Condition and Resiliency in four National Parks based on Local Sea Level Rise Prediction" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00011), describes a National Park Service (NPS) plan to support a focused research collaboration with the University of South Carolina. The work is framed as science and technology research and development and is intended to improve understanding of how salt marshes in key Northeast coastal parks may respond to sea level rise, particularly in the broader context of coastal vulnerability highlighted by Hurricane Sandy.
The core objective is to carry out sea level rise response modeling for multiple salt marsh sites located within four NPS units in the Northeast Region: Cape Cod National Seashore, Fire Island National Seashore, Assateague Island National Seashore, and Gateway National Recreation Area. In practical terms, the project is aimed at evaluating salt marsh condition and resiliency using locally relevant sea level rise predictions, which can help inform how these marsh systems might change over time and what that means for park resource management. By focusing on modeling across several parks, the effort also supports comparisons among sites that may experience different rates of sea level rise, sediment dynamics, storm impacts, and ecological responses.
Administratively, this opportunity is not an open competition. It is explicitly a notice of intent for a single-source award to the University of South Carolina, meaning the NPS is announcing publicly that it plans to fund this work without soliciting applications from other organizations. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaborating on technical direction, data use, coordination with park staff, and aligning research outputs with management needs. The notice states that the award is to be made under an existing cooperative agreement framework (referencing Cooperative Agreement P13AC00443) with the University of South Carolina as a partner under the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (PSAC CESU). No cost sharing or matching funds are required.
In terms of scale and logistics, the notice anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $248,041. The posting date and creation date are December 3, 2014, and the archive date is December 17, 2014. The listing includes CFDA 15.945, which relates to cooperative research and training programs associated with resources of the National Park System. Although eligibility fields mention private institutions of higher education and other eligible applicants, the announcement makes clear that, for this specific action, the recipient is intended to be the University of South Carolina and that it is not a request for applications.
For those seeking official details or experiencing difficulty accessing the announcement, the notice provides a grants management contact: Alison Smith, Grants Management Specialist, at 404-507-5754 and AlisonSmith@nps.gov. The public listing also references an additional information link hosted on Grants.gov.
