Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Identify Species Vulnerable to Climate Change at Acadia National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0068) is a discretionary grant announcement that functions as a public notice rather than a call for proposals. It explicitly states multiple times that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves to announce that an award has already been made to Boston University for climate change-related work at Acadia National Park, based on a joint NPS and Boston University proposal that had already been received and accepted.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates an arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The project activity falls under the CFDA listing 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, aligning it with NPS efforts to manage, protect, and understand natural resources within national parks.
The purpose of the funded work is to conduct a study that identifies species in Acadia National Park that are vulnerable to climate change. While the announcement does not detail the methods, deliverables, or specific taxa, it clearly frames the central objective as assessing climate-related vulnerability of species within the park, consistent with broader resource stewardship and climate adaptation planning needs.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $69,975, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $69,975, indicating a single, fixed-size award. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is described as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but because the award had already been made to Boston University, that eligibility category is informational rather than an invitation for other institutions to apply.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on July 8, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 12, 2013, and an archive date of July 13, 2013. These dates reflect the administrative posting window for the announcement rather than an open competition period, consistent with the repeated notice that applications were not being solicited.
For access issues or questions about the announcement itself, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153, with the reference "Climate ChangeAcadia."
