Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award for a project called "Assessment of Natural Resource Condition for Gateway National Recreation Area (New York, New Jersey)." The key point is that it is not a request for applications or proposals. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive process, meaning the agency does not intend to solicit or consider submissions from other applicants for this award.
The planned award will be made as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on project direction, coordination, or oversight. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation clarifying that the listing exists solely to announce a sole-source intent rather than open a competition.
NPS expects to make one award in total, and the intended recipient is explicitly identified: The University System of Maryland, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Studies (UMCES), described as a public/state-controlled institution of higher education. Because it is a single-source award, the eligibility field effectively does not create an open pool of eligible applicants; it reinforces that the announcement is only a formal notice of NPS's plan to fund UMCES without full and open competition.
The total anticipated funding amount is $103,115, and both the award floor and award ceiling are also set at $103,115, indicating the 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 provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted on July 6, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2015, and it was archived on July 16, 2015. In notices like this, the "closing date" functions more as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since applications are not being accepted.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, labeled "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with work involving research, assessment, and technical support related to national park resources. While the brief synopsis does not describe the specific tasks in the assessment, the title indicates the project will evaluate the condition of natural resources at Gateway National Recreation Area, which spans sites in New York and New Jersey, likely to support park management decision-making and resource stewardship.
