Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Map Impacts of Recreational Boating Versus Restoration" (Funding Opportunity Number AJ5180090011). The project is framed as a science and technology/research and development effort and is intended to support field-based studies that map and evaluate the impacts of recreational boating in relation to oyster reef restoration activities at Canaveral National Seashore. In practical terms, the work is about generating defensible, field-collected information that can help the park understand where boating activity may be affecting oyster reef habitats, how those impacts compare to or interact with ongoing or planned restoration work, and how spatial mapping can guide future management decisions.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with a total estimated funding amount of $24,700. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $24,700, indicating a fixed-size award rather than a range of potential funding levels. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, so applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education, meaning the competition was aimed at private colleges and universities capable of supplying professional scientific expertise and carrying out field studies. The application window was short: it was posted on October 23, 2009, created on October 20, 2009, and closed on October 28, 2009, with the archived date listed as November 27, 2009. The listing also includes a CFDA number placeholder ("00.000 Not Elsewhere Classified"), which suggests it was not tied to a more specific CFDA program code in the record provided.
For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the NPS listed Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist, as the point of contact, with phone number 404-507-5747 and email cherylrichardson@nps.gov.
