Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) funding action for a project titled "Impacts of Hurricane Sandy and White Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) on Maritime Vegetation Recovery at Fire Island National Seashore (FIIS)." The key point is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, the NPS is publicly announcing its plan to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition, which typically indicates the agency has already identified the recipient or partner it intends to support.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0020 and is categorized as "Other," with the category explanation referencing Hurricane Sandy. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to be substantially involved in the project rather than simply providing a standalone grant. The activity falls under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, indicating the work is aligned with research and resource-management priorities within the national park system.
Financially, the notice anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with total estimated funding of $224,619. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $224,619, which strongly suggests a fixed, predetermined award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
In terms of eligibility, the announcement lists "Others" and then reiterates that this is a notice of intent to award rather than an open competition. In practice, the eligibility language here functions more as a placeholder because the agency is not soliciting applications from the public; it is simply providing transparency about a planned noncompetitive award. The posting and creation date are May 12, 2014, with a closing date of May 17, 2014, and an archive date of May 18, 2014, reflecting that the public notice period was brief and that the announcement was primarily informational.
The project itself, based on the title, is focused on understanding how Hurricane Sandy and browsing pressure from white-tailed deer may be affecting the recovery of maritime vegetation at Fire Island National Seashore. Fire Island is a barrier island system where storm impacts can reshape dunes and coastal plant communities, and deer herbivory can influence which plant species successfully reestablish after disturbance. A study framed this way would typically support post-storm restoration planning and long-term ecosystem management by clarifying how natural disturbance (a major hurricane) and ongoing biological pressure (deer impacts) interact to shape vegetation recovery trajectories.
For additional details or to request access to the full announcement if there are technical issues, the notice provides an NPS grants management contact: Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, phone 215-597-5949, with an NPS email contact referenced but not fully displayed in the text provided.
