Opportunity Summary:
The "Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network Ecological Inventory and Monitoring Program Assistance" notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement under the U.S. Department of the Interior stating the agency's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for ecological inventory and monitoring support work within the NPS Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network. The key point of the posting is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public and is instead publicly disclosing that it plans to fund a specific partner for a defined set of activities.
The planned award is being made without full and open competition through an existing Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) cooperative agreement framework. Specifically, the NPS indicates it intends to fund Task Agreement P11AT40775 under Cooperative Agreement H4503090700 with the University of Rhode Island as the named cooperator. In practical terms, this means the work is structured as a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant or contract), which typically reflects a relationship where the federal agency anticipates substantial involvement in the project, such as coordination on technical direction, methods, reporting, and integration of results into park management needs.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under the natural resources activity area. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) listing associated with it is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with research, technical assistance, and training that supports stewardship of national park resources. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, indicating the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award, at least as reflected in the summary data.
Funding details are narrowly defined because the award is essentially pre-selected: the expected number of awards is one, and both the award floor and award ceiling are the same amount, $111,596, which also matches the estimated total funding. That structure signals a fixed anticipated funding level for the particular task agreement rather than a competitive range of possible award sizes.
Eligibility is listed as public and state controlled institutions of higher education, which is consistent with the CESU model and the intended recipient being the University of Rhode Island. The posting and administrative dates reflect a short public notice window: posted and created on August 5, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 11, 2011, and an archive date of August 12, 2011. In the context of a notice-of-intent posting, those dates function less like an application period and more like a formal notice period documenting the agency's intention to proceed with a noncompetitive award.
For additional information or if there are issues accessing the full announcement attachments, the notice provides an agency contact: Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 410-260-2473. The listing is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0083, and the awarding agency is the National Park Service.
