Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Impacts of Superstorm Sandy Coastal Adaptation for Affected Parks and Revegetation Staten Island Unit, Gateway NRA NY" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0061) is a discretionary cooperative agreement that supports site-specific technical work tied to Superstorm Sandy recovery at Gateway National Recreation Area in New York, with a focus on coastal adaptation and revegetation planning for the Staten Island Unit. This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that the award had already been designated to Rutgers University to carry out collaborative, science-based support for Sandy recovery project planning and review.
The cooperative agreement totals $50,024, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $50,024, indicating a single fixed award amount. Only one award was expected, and no cost sharing or matching requirement was included. The opportunity was posted and created on June 27, 2013, carried an original and current closing date of July 1, 2013, and was archived on July 2, 2013. The CFDA listing tied to the award is 15.945, covering Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. While the eligible applicant category is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the eligibility language clarifies that the recipient had already been selected, specifically Rutgers University.
Rutgers Universitys role under this award centers on providing geomorphological expertise, monitoring data, and practical recommendations that align with National Park Service planning frameworks, including a forthcoming General Management Plan and associated Natural and Cultural Resource Plans. The work is organized into two components with distinct deliverables, emphasizing both the collection and production of usable field and monitoring datasets, and the timely review of planning and design documents to ensure proposed actions are grounded in coastal science and site conditions.
For Component 1, Rutgers is expected to generate appropriate site monitoring datasets that can be used to support and apply site proposals. In addition, Rutgers will review final documents for the relevant sites specifically for geomorphological considerations, with the review to be completed within one month of receiving those documents. Beyond technical review, Rutgers will also consider and make recommendations for coastal adaptation strategies, ensuring those recommendations are consistent with the direction and constraints anticipated in the parks General Management Plan and the parks natural and cultural resource planning documents.
For Component 2, Rutgers is tasked with producing a short report describing the geomorphological conditions at each of four sites, explicitly excluding the location referenced as Great Kills 1. This report is due within one month of the site visit. Similar to Component 1, Rutgers will generate appropriate site monitoring datasets, but here the datasets are oriented toward supporting revegetation proposals. Rutgers will also review final revegetation-related documents for geomorphological considerations within one month of receipt. The notice highlights that some situations may be time sensitive, and in those cases Rutgers may need to conduct on-site field reviews within a few days, suggesting rapid-response support when conditions or project timelines require quick scientific input. Rutgers will also consider and make recommendations for revegetation approaches that are consistent with the forthcoming General Management Plan and the parks Natural and Cultural Resource Plans, reinforcing that ecological actions should be compatible with broader park management objectives and resource protections.
A key administrative deliverable is that, alongside the final project documents, Rutgers will submit all project data files to the National Park Service, including metadata. This ensures that datasets created through the project can be understood, reused, and archived as part of NPS records, supporting transparency and long-term management use.
