Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) funding action related to post-storm science and monitoring work titled "Impact of Hurricane Sandy on FIIS Water Quality and Seagrass Resources (Revised to include 2015 and 2016 field sampling)." FIIS refers to Fire Island National Seashore, and the core purpose of the project is to evaluate how Hurricane Sandy affected local water quality conditions and seagrass resources, with the scope updated to explicitly include field sampling work conducted in 2015 and 2016. The funding is positioned within Hurricane Sandy-related recovery and assessment efforts, focusing on natural resource impacts and data collection that can inform park management decisions.
A key point of the announcement is that it is a notice of intent to award, not a request for applications. In other words, the NPS is publicly signaling that it plans to fund a specific set of project activities without going through a full and open competitive process. Because of that, there is no standard applicant pool, no competition timeline, and no expectation that outside organizations submit proposals in response to this posting. The eligibility language reflects this by listing "Others" while also clarifying that the announcement exists primarily to provide public notice rather than to solicit new applicants.
The planned award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, coordinating methods, providing oversight, collaborating on field activities, or working jointly on deliverables). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and placed under a general activity category labeled "Other," with the explanation tied directly to Hurricane Sandy, reinforcing that this work is part of storm impact assessment and recovery-related research.
Financially, the notice anticipates a single award with a total estimated funding amount of $176,952. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $176,952, which effectively means the NPS intended a fixed award amount for this particular action rather than a variable range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide additional non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
From an administrative standpoint, the notice was posted and created on August 29, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 3, 2014, and it was archived on September 4, 2014. The CFDA number referenced is 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns the project with NPS-supported research and resource stewardship activities.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Patrick Reidy, a Grants Management Specialist, with a phone number provided (215-597-5949) and an NPS email contact line indicated in the notice. Overall, the announcement functions mainly as a transparency posting: it communicates that NPS intended to directly support a defined set of Hurricane Sandy impact monitoring activities related to Fire Island National Seashore water quality and seagrass, including extended sampling work in 2015 and 2016, through a single cooperative agreement award at a specified amount.
