Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Identify Species Vulnerable to Climate Change at Acadia National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0048) is a National Park Service discretionary award that was posted as an informational notice rather than an open call for proposals. The announcement makes it explicit multiple times that it is not requesting applications because the award had already been designated for Boston University. In other words, the posting functions as a public record of an intended or completed cooperative agreement, not a competitive grant competition.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support work that helps Acadia National Park understand which species are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Boston University, working in coordination with the National Park Service, is tasked with conducting a study to identify climate-vulnerable species in the park, following the scope laid out in a joint NPS/BU proposal referenced in the notice. Beyond carrying out the underlying research and analysis, the cooperator is also expected to produce draft reports and a final submission, indicating that formal written deliverables are a central part of the project.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, and the funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement. The use of a cooperative agreement typically signals substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project, such as collaboration on methods, coordination on data needs, review of interim products, or other ongoing engagement consistent with joint stewardship goals. The activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation essentially reiterating that this is a designated award announcement connected to the Boston University partnership.
Financially, the estimated total funding is $92,732, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $92,732, which implies a single, fixed award amount rather than a range of potential funding levels. The notice anticipates one award (ExpectedAwards: 1) and states that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. While the eligibility section lists certain nonprofit 501(c)(3) entities, the document repeatedly clarifies that eligibility is not practically relevant here because the award was already set aside for Boston University.
In terms of timing, the posting date and creation date are both June 16, 2014. The original and current closing dates are listed as June 21, 2014, with an archive date of June 22, 2014. These dates reflect the lifecycle of the public notice on the federal posting system rather than an actual application window, since no applications were being solicited. For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, with a phone number (215) 597-9153, and the reference "ACAD BU," pointing to the Acadia and Boston University collaboration.
