Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, specific award for a project titled "Importance of Cape Cod National Seashore to Staging Endangered Roseate Terns." It is published as a public transparency step, not as a competitive funding opportunity. In other words, the NPS is signaling that it plans to fund certain project activities through a cooperative agreement without soliciting or accepting new applications, and it is doing so "without full and open competition."
The opportunity is identified under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0023 and is categorized as "Other" for both the opportunity category and the funding activity, with the accompanying explanation making clear that this is a notice of intent to award rather than a call for proposals. The relevant CFDA listing is 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, which aligns with resource management, monitoring, and stewardship work on public lands, including activities tied to wildlife conservation and protected species.
Financially, the announcement indicates there will be exactly one award, with total anticipated funding of $42,544. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $42,544, which typically means the NPS has a fixed budget amount already established for this specific effort rather than a range of possible award sizes. No cost sharing or matching requirement is expected, so the recipient would not be required to contribute a specified non-federal share as a condition of receiving the funds.
Because this is not an open competition, the "Eligible Applicants" field is effectively informational and points back to the same intent-to-award language. The key practical takeaway is that outside organizations should not interpret this listing as a chance to apply; it is primarily a compliance and public-notice mechanism describing an intended noncompetitive cooperative agreement award.
The posting and timing details reflect how quickly these notices can move. The notice was posted and created on May 15, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 19, 2014, and an archive date of May 20, 2014. Those dates typically function more as an administrative window for public posting rather than an application period, since the announcement explicitly states it is not requesting applications.
The awarding agency is the National Park Service. The project topic itself indicates a focus on understanding the role of Cape Cod National Seashore as a staging area for endangered roseate terns. In conservation terms, "staging" generally refers to areas birds use to rest and feed during migration or before/after breeding, and research or monitoring tied to staging habitat can inform management decisions such as visitor use controls, habitat protection measures, or targeted stewardship actions. While this notice does not lay out a detailed statement of work in the text provided, the title strongly suggests data collection and analysis related to tern use of the seashore and the management significance of that use for endangered species conservation.
For administrative questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the notice lists a point of contact: Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, phone 215-597-5949, with an NPS email referenced but not fully shown in the provided text.
