Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Investigations of Toxic Red Tide and Groundwater Nurtrient Fluxes Nauset Marsh Estuary" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action focused on continuing scientific work in the Nauset Marsh Estuary within Cape Cod National Seashore. The project centers on two closely linked natural resource issues: toxic red tide events (harmful algal blooms that can produce toxins and disrupt marine ecosystems) and the movement of nutrients into the estuary through groundwater. In practical terms, the effort supports ongoing monitoring and investigation of how nutrient inputs, especially those delivered below ground rather than by rivers or surface runoff, may influence bloom formation, water quality, and broader estuarine health.
Rather than being a new open competition, this announcement is a notice of intent to make a non-competitive award through a modification to an existing task agreement, identified as J2340105504. The modification is meant to continue work already underway under Objectives 2 and 3 of that agreement, indicating the project has an established scope, methods, and research team, and the NPS is extending or adjusting the agreement to complete or advance those specific objectives. The intended recipient is the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, which is named directly in the description as the organization that will receive the non-competitive modification. The notice cites Department of the Interior policy (Department Manual 505 DM 2) as the basis for using a non-competitive approach, which typically reflects a determination that a specific institution is uniquely qualified, continuity is necessary, or the work is tied to prior investments and specialized capabilities.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, and it falls under the Natural Resources activity category. Only one award is expected. The total estimated funding amount is $92,392, with an award ceiling of $92,392 and an award floor of $0, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The CFDA listing is 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, which aligns with NPS work supporting science, monitoring, and stewardship decisions on park-managed lands and waters. Eligible applicants are listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, although in this case the intent is explicitly to proceed with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution through a non-competitive modification rather than soliciting competing proposals.
Key dates show how narrow and procedural the posting is: the opportunity was posted on August 22, 2011, created the same day, and had an original and current closing date of August 24, 2011, with an archive date of September 23, 2011. That short window is consistent with notices of intent where the agency is documenting its plan to award non-competitively, not running a typical competitive cycle.
