Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service's intent to make a single, non-competitive award for a coastal research and management project at Cape Cod National Seashore focused on coastal instability and cross-shore sediment movement under sea level rise conditions, identified as "Phase One" of the work. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the agency is not seeking proposals from the general public and is publishing the announcement mainly to document and provide transparency about its plan to fund specific work through an existing partnership mechanism.
The award will be issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), using a cooperative agreement framework rather than a standard grant. In practice, a cooperative agreement typically signals that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance, such as coordinating tasks, providing technical input, or jointly planning deliverables. The funding action will be made as a task agreement under an already-established cooperative agreement (H4503090700) between NPS (Cape Cod National Seashore) and the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies, indicating the agency is extending or activating work within a preexisting formal relationship rather than opening a new competition.
The announcement lists the opportunity category as discretionary and ties it to the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) structure, which is often used to support collaborative research, technical assistance, and training connected to public lands and resource management. The CFDA listing provided is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with applied science and technical support that informs management decisions within the National Park System.
Financially, the notice anticipates one award with total estimated funding of $165,840, and it sets the award ceiling and floor at the same amount ($165,840), effectively signaling a fixed expected award value rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient is not expected to contribute a defined percentage of project costs as a condition of the award.
On eligibility, the notice clarifies that it is not open competition and that the intended recipient is a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status. While the general listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Others," the detailed eligibility language makes clear that this is a public notice of an intended sole-source funding action connected to the specific cooperating partner named in the description, rather than an invitation for other entities to apply.
The timeline information reflects the administrative posting and archival schedule for the notice on Grants.gov, with initial posting dated August 25, 2012, and a short window through early September 2012 for the notice period (current closing date listed as September 5, 2012, and archive date September 6, 2012). Because it is not a competitive solicitation, these dates function more as a public posting period than as an application deadline in the usual sense.
Finally, the notice provides a point of contact for access or administrative questions about the full announcement materials: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, with the provided phone number (215 597 6476). The description also notes that additional details are contained in an attachment accessible through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov, which is where the specific scope, tasks, and deliverables for Phase One would typically be documented.
