Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) funding action for a project focused on the inventorying and monitoring of amphibians and reptiles across several NPS units: Fire Island National Seashore, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, Gateway National Recreation Area, and Colonial National Historical Park. The title also includes an addendum referencing an inventory of amphibians and reptiles at Colonial National Historical Park, indicating the scope either emphasizes or expands work at that site in addition to the other parks listed. The overall purpose is consistent with resource stewardship and science support activities that help the NPS understand what species are present, where they occur, and how their populations may be changing over time, which is foundational for conservation planning and management decisions.
Importantly, this announcement is a "Notice of Intent to Award" and explicitly states it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means there is no open competition and the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public. Instead, the notice is provided to satisfy public transparency requirements while the agency proceeds with funding a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive award mechanism. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project, such as collaboration on methods, coordination, review of deliverables, or shared implementation responsibilities.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under a National Park System-related assistance listing (CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The announcement indicates a single expected award. The estimated total funding is $255,577, and both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as exactly $255,577, signaling the NPS had a defined budget for the project 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.
Eligibility is effectively limited in practice because the notice is not open for applications; it lists eligible applicants as "Others," but the accompanying eligibility language repeats that the NPS intends to fund the project activities without full and open competition. The posting date and creation date are both August 19, 2014. The original and current closing dates are August 24, 2014, with an archive date of August 25, 2014. Those dates reflect the administrative window during which the notice was publicly available rather than a true application period, since applications were not being requested.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement or experiencing difficulty retrieving it electronically, the listed point of contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949. The agency identified is the National Park Service.
