Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Hurricane Sandy - Submerged Marine Habitat Mapping: A Foundation for Enhancing Resilience to Climate Change and other Stressors at Gateway National Recreation Area (revised)." It is not a competitive funding opportunity and it is not requesting applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to make an award without full and open competition to support specific project activities related to post-Hurricane Sandy work at Gateway National Recreation Area.
The funding instrument listed is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects substantial involvement in carrying out the project (for example, coordination on project design, data standards, deliverables, or fieldwork planning) rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal agency participation. The program is categorized under "Other," with the category explanation clarifying that the listing exists solely to announce the intended award. The underlying CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 15.945, associated with Cooperative Research and Training Programs for Resources of the National Park System, signaling that the work aligns with research, technical mapping, and capacity-building activities that support NPS resource management.
The project focus, as reflected in the title, is submerged marine habitat mapping at Gateway National Recreation Area, positioned as a foundation for improving resilience to climate change and other stressors. In practical terms, this kind of mapping effort generally supports better understanding of underwater habitat types, their distribution, and their condition, which can be critical after a major storm like Hurricane Sandy. Such data can inform restoration priorities, resource protection strategies, and long-term planning for coastal and marine environments facing compounding pressures such as sea level rise, intensified storms, erosion, sediment movement, water quality changes, and human use impacts.
Financially, the announcement indicates a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $509,999. The award floor and ceiling are both set at $509,999, implying a fixed award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The opportunity is listed as discretionary, and because it is a notice rather than a solicitation, the "eligible applicants" field is effectively informational rather than an invitation; it points to "Others" with additional eligibility information reiterating that this is not a request for applications.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted and created on August 28, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2014, and an archive date of September 3, 2014. These dates are best understood as the public notice window for the intended noncompetitive award rather than an application period. Anyone needing access to the full announcement or having trouble retrieving it electronically is directed to contact Patrick Reidy, a Grants Management Specialist, by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email referenced for assistance.
