Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service published a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Lagoon Monitoring in Arctic Network parks" under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00290. It falls under the agency's Cooperative Research and Training Programs for Resources of the National Park System (CFDA 15.945) and is intended to support natural resources work through a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. The project focus, as indicated by the title and activity category, is lagoon monitoring within parks that are part of the Arctic Network, which typically refers to the National Park Service inventory and monitoring network for Arctic and northern Alaska park units. The award mechanism suggests close collaboration between the NPS and the recipient, with substantial involvement by NPS staff in planning, implementation, data handling, or reporting.
This announcement is not a competitive solicitation. It is explicitly a notice of intent to award to the Wildlife Conservation Society, and it states that no applications will be accepted. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified the intended partner and was using the public posting primarily to meet transparency and administrative requirements rather than to invite proposals from other organizations. The eligibility section reflects this same point by directing readers back to the notice language rather than offering open eligibility criteria.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $150,000, with an expected number of awards of one. The posted award range set a floor of $50,000 and a ceiling of $200,000, indicating the anticipated agreement would likely land within that band depending on final scope, work plan, and negotiated budget. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 10, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2015, and an archive date of August 21, 2015. Those dates function more as administrative milestones for the posting rather than an application window, since the notice specifies that proposals would not be accepted. Anyone needing access to the full announcement was directed to Grants.gov via the additional information link, and the point of contact listed for assistance was Erica Cordeiro at the National Park Service (EricaCordeiro@nps.gov).
