Notice of Intent to Award Buck Island Reef National Monument Yellow Band Disease | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service posted a discretionary funding notice titled "Notice of Intent to Award Buck Island Reef National Monument Yellow Band Disease" under Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00189. The opportunity sits in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and uses an "Other" funding instrument type, described specifically as a cooperative agreement. This posting is not framed as an open competition in the usual sense; it is a notice that the agency intends to make a single award to a named organization, Mote Marine Laboratory, for work connected to yellow band disease affecting coral resources at Buck Island Reef National Monument.

The notice indicates that the National Park Service expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $87,660. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which often shows up in records like this when the agency is not structuring the opportunity around a typical competitive range and instead is documenting a planned award amount through the estimated total funding field. The CFDA listing attached to the opportunity is 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, which aligns with projects aimed at protecting, monitoring, and managing natural resources within units of the National Park System, including research and applied science that supports stewardship decisions.

No cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory non-federal funding contribution as a condition of receiving the award. Eligible applicant categories shown include state governments and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations other than institutions of higher education. Even though those categories are broad, the narrative makes clear the intent is to award to Mote Marine Laboratory, which is consistent with how "notice of intent to award" postings are commonly used: they document the agency's plan to fund a particular partner for a specific scope of work, often because of unique expertise, continuity of ongoing research, established capabilities, or other programmatic reasons.

Key dates in the listing show it was posted and created on August 6, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 9, 2013, and an archive date of August 16, 2013. A very short open period like this typically reinforces that the posting is mainly informational and administrative rather than a call for new proposals from a broad pool of applicants. The additional information link directs users to Grants.gov for the full announcement record and any attached documents.

For assistance, the contact listed is Celinda Hicks at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 305-242-7742 or by email at CelindaHicks@nps.gov. The announcement also notes that if someone has difficulty accessing the full notice electronically, they should reach out to the contact for support, which is a standard accessibility and customer service provision for federal funding postings.

In practical terms, the opportunity is best read as a formal public notice that the National Park Service planned to fund a targeted research and stewardship effort addressing yellow band disease at Buck Island Reef National Monument through a cooperative agreement with Mote Marine Laboratory, totaling about $87,660, with no required match, and tied to the Natural Resource Stewardship CFDA program.
