Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - Analyzing Impact of Changing Hydrologic Conditions" is a public notice issued by the United States Department of the Interior through the National Park Service (NPS), specifically tied to Everglades National Park. It is important to understand that this announcement is not a request for applications and is not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it serves as formal notification that the NPS intends to make a single cooperative agreement award without full and open competition.
The planned award is being issued under an existing Cooperative Agreement framework identified as H5000 10 5040, using the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, with the intended recipient being the South Florida Caribbean Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The project named in the notice is "Analyzing Impact of Changing Hydrologic Conditions in the Everglades National Park," and the activity falls under the Natural Resources category, aligning with the NPS program area described as "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education" (CFDA 15.954).
From a funding perspective, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $158,000 and anticipates one award. The posting date and creation date are both July 16, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 26, 2015, and an archive date of July 27, 2015. The listed award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is providing an informational posting rather than establishing a competitive range for applicants. The notice also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Although the listing includes "Eligible Applicants: Private institutions of higher education," the practical effect of this posting is that the NPS is signaling its intention to direct the funding through the CESU mechanism to the named CESU partner rather than opening the project for general competition. In other words, the eligibility language reflects the broader category of entities that can participate in CESU-based work, but this particular announcement is specifically about a non-competitive intent to award for a defined project.
Anyone needing access to the full announcement or experiencing difficulty retrieving it electronically is directed to contact Sandra Newton, Financial Assistance, at 305-242-7028 or via email at SandraNewton@nps.gov. The notice also references Grants.gov for additional information, with a link provided in the announcement.
