Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Department of the Interior for a natural resources research project focused on blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) at Kalaupapa National Historical Park. The project title is "Movement patterns, habitat use, and size frequency of blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) at Kalaupapa National Historical Park," and the main purpose is to support research that helps the park better understand where these sharks travel, how they use different habitats, and what the population looks like in terms of the distribution of body sizes. In practical terms, the work is aimed at building information that can be used for resource management decisions, such as identifying important areas for sharks within the park, understanding how they might respond to changes in the environment, and improving overall knowledge of the park's marine ecosystem.
A key point of the announcement is that it is not a request for applications and is not open for competitive proposals. Instead, it serves as public notice that NPS intends to fund a specific recipient without "full and open competition." The planned award is a task agreement (Task Agreement # P12AC15050) issued under an existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement H8080090008) with the University of Hawaii. The University of Hawaii is identified as a partner under the Hawaii-Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, which is the cooperative research framework being used for this work. Because it is an intent-to-award notice tied to a pre-existing partnership and agreement structure, the usual grant competition process does not apply here, and the notice mainly documents the agency's decision and provides transparency to the public.
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. NPS anticipates making one award. The total estimated funding is $35,000, and the award floor and ceiling are both listed as $35,000, meaning the expected award amount is fixed at that level rather than being a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute a non-federal match to receive the funds.
Administrative details in the record include the funding opportunity number (NPS PWR NOI P12AC15050), CFDA number 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System), and the posting and creation date of August 17, 2012. The original and current closing dates are both August 19, 2012, with an archive date of September 18, 2012. Although the notice lists eligible applicants as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, in context this eligibility statement does not function as an open invitation to apply, because the agency is explicitly announcing its intent to fund the University of Hawaii under an existing cooperative framework rather than soliciting proposals.
