Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding for a specific natural resources project focused on reef fish in Dry Tortugas National Park. It is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the NPS, and its main purpose is to publicly announce the agency's plan to fund a particular set of project activities called "Assessment of Resource Status of the Reef Fish Community" in the park. The announcement makes it clear that this is not a request for applications, meaning the public is not being invited to submit proposals and there is no competitive application process associated with this posting.
The award is planned as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently). The intended recipient is identified in the notice: the South Florida Caribbean Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), under Cooperative Agreement H5000 10 5040. The notice also states that the funding will be issued without full and open competition, which is the central reason this type of posting exists: it serves as transparency that NPS intends to make a non-competitive award for this specific project.
From the funding details provided, the opportunity number is P15AS00210, categorized as discretionary funding, and associated with the natural resources activity area. The CFDA number listed is 15.954, which corresponds to National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education. The estimated total funding amount is $75,000, and the agency expects to make one award. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. The posting lists eligible applicants as private institutions of higher education, consistent with how CESU partners are often structured, though the practical takeaway is that this particular announcement is tied to a pre-identified partner rather than open eligibility in practice.
The timeline included in the notice reflects the short public notice window rather than an application cycle. The opportunity was posted and created on July 15, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 24, 2015, and an archive date of July 25, 2015. Because it is not soliciting applications, these dates function mainly as the period during which the public can view the announcement before it is archived.
For anyone needing the official posting or documentation, the notice references Grants.gov as the source, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Sandra Newton, Financial Assistance, at 305-242-7028 and SandraNewton@nps.gov.
