Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Notice of Intent for Assess Bird Habitat on Cape Sable with National Audubon Society" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00237) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) discretionary grant announcement focused on natural resource work. The notice indicates an intent to support a project centered on assessing bird habitat conditions on Cape Sable, carried out in cooperation with the National Audubon Society. The announcement is explicitly tied to an existing master cooperative agreement identified as Master CA P16AC00032, which suggests the work is being pursued within an established partnership framework rather than as a broad, open competition designed to solicit brand-new partnerships.
The instrument type for the award is a cooperative agreement. In federal assistance terms, that generally means the government expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as collaborating on technical direction, coordinating field activities, sharing data standards, or participating in project oversight and deliverable review. The activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and the CFDA number is 15.945, which is a classification used to track federal assistance programs and indicates this opportunity falls within a specific NPS assistance program area.
Eligibility is defined broadly across several organizational types, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities or Indian housing authorities, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. Even with that range of eligible applicant categories, the framing as a "Notice of Intent" and the specific mention of the National Audubon Society under a master cooperative agreement strongly implies the funding is intended for a particular partner or a narrow set of pre-identified collaborators. In practice, notices like this are often used to document the government’s plan to make an award to a specific organization when the program office has already determined the partner best positioned to complete the work, for example due to unique expertise, prior ongoing work in the area, or continuity needs for long-term monitoring.
The posted and creation dates are both June 13, 2016, and the closing date is June 23, 2016, reflecting a short application window of about ten days. That compressed timeline is consistent with intent notices that are primarily procedural and tied to an existing agreement vehicle. The listed award ceiling is $49,617, which indicates the maximum anticipated federal share for the project under this notice. The opportunity lists "Expected Awards: 0," which can appear in postings that function more as an administrative notice than a standard competitive solicitation, or where the system entry does not reflect a typical projected award count even though funding may still be issued through the cooperative agreement mechanism.
In plain terms, this opportunity describes a modestly sized, targeted cooperative agreement action by the National Park Service to support assessment of bird habitat on Cape Sable in collaboration with the National Audubon Society, using an existing master agreement structure. It is categorized under natural resources assistance, has a defined funding cap, and was posted with a brief submission deadline in June 2016.
