Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a specific, pre-identified project focused on Jamaica Bay in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. The project title highlights the main scientific and management issues being studied: acidification, hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen), and algal blooms, and how these water-quality stressors create barriers to both current and future ecosystem restoration efforts and to climate change resilience in Jamaica Bay. Because it is a notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, it is not asking organizations to apply; instead, it serves as public notification that NPS plans to fund this work without full and open competition.
The funding opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0117 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project (for example, coordinating research direction, data needs, reporting, or integration with park management priorities), rather than simply providing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category is tied to Hurricane Sandy, indicating the work is part of post-storm research and recovery planning to understand impacts and guide restoration and resilience strategies.
The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with a total estimated funding amount of $246,521. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $246,521, which effectively signals a fixed award amount rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute a required non-federal share as a condition of the award. The associated CFDA number is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with research-oriented partnerships supporting NPS resource stewardship.
Timing-wise, the notice was posted and created on August 11, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 16, 2014, and an archive date of August 17, 2014. In the context of a notice of intent, these dates function more like an administrative public-notice window rather than a typical application deadline, since the document explicitly states it is not a request for applications.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," but the key point is that the notice is not opening eligibility to competition; it is documenting NPS intent to fund specified project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, that usually means NPS has determined a particular partner, institution, or arrangement is the appropriate vehicle for this work, and the public notice is part of required transparency for non-competitive awards.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email referenced (though not fully shown in the provided text).
