Opportunity Summary:
The Kemps Ridley Turtle Surveys grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI PAIS J2310100033) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement within the environmental funding activity category. The purpose of the award is narrowly focused on a project modification that continues ongoing field and data-collection work assessing Kemp's ridley sea turtles and their nests after the MC 252 oil spill event. In practical terms, the project is meant to keep monitoring and documenting post-discharge conditions along the Texas coastline of the Gulf of Mexico, producing information that feeds directly into the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process tied to the spill. The emphasis is on generating defensible, on-the-ground data about turtle and nest conditions in the affected region over time, supporting the broader federal and trustee effort to evaluate impacts and inform restoration or damage determinations under NRDA.
Administratively, the announcement makes clear it is not an open competition and not a request for applications. It is identified as a single-source award intended specifically for Texas A&M University at Galveston, and eligible applicants are listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education to align with that selection. The opportunity anticipated one award, carried no cost-sharing or matching requirement, and listed an estimated total funding amount of $180,000. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both recorded as $0), which typically indicates the funding amount is managed through the cooperative agreement terms rather than competed within a range.
Key dates in the public listing include an original posting date of September 19, 2010 with an original closing date of September 23, 2010, while later record updates show a creation date of April 23, 2013, a current closing date of April 19, 2013, and an archive date of May 19, 2013. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Rose McClelland, Contracting Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 504-589-3882 or by email at rosemcclelland@nps.gov.
