Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding for a specific, pre-identified project focused on monitoring estuarine condition at three National Park System units in the New York region: Fire Island National Seashore, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, and Gateway National Recreation Area. The activity falls under the Natural Resources category and is tied to the stewardship of coastal and estuarine environments, which typically includes tracking water quality and ecosystem indicators to understand environmental health, detect change over time, and support park management decisions.
A key point is that this announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a public notice that NPS intends to make a continuation award without full and open competition. The funding is being issued through a Cooperative Agreement instrument, specifically as Task Agreement P11AT40625 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H4503090700). The identified cooperator is Stony Brook University, meaning the project work is intended to be carried out in partnership with that institution rather than opened to the broader applicant pool.
Financially, the total expected funding is fixed at $34,571, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $34,571, which signals a single, defined award amount rather than a range. NPS expects to make one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System), which is commonly used for NPS collaborations with academic and research partners to support applied research, monitoring, and technical assistance for park resources.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on July 8, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 12, 2011, and it was archived on July 13, 2011. Because it is a notice of intent to award (rather than an open call), the short window functions more as a public posting period than as a time for proposal submissions. The listed eligibility category is private institutions of higher education, but in practice the notice indicates the intended recipient is Stony Brook University under the existing agreement structure.
