Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a public announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and Biscayne National Park stating their intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for a project focused on the coastal ecology of Biscayne Bay. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public and there is no open competition associated with this posting. Instead, the purpose is to provide transparency that NPS plans to fund specific work under an existing cooperative agreement vehicle, identified as Cooperative Agreement H5000105040, for a project titled "Coastal Ecology of Biscayne Bay under the Integrated Biscayne Bay Ecosystem Assessment and Monitoring (IBBEAM) Program" within Biscayne National Park.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. The activity area is listed under natural resources and ties to the NPS program CFDA 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education." The total estimated funding amount is $404,600, with an expected number of awards set at one. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. Although eligible applicants are described as private institutions of higher education, the notice format and language make clear that this is a pre-identified, intended award rather than an open opportunity where multiple institutions could apply.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number P15AS00334 and a posting date of August 23, 2015. The original and current closing date are both August 31, 2015, and the archive date is September 1, 2015. The listing repeats that the award will be made without full and open competition, reinforcing that the competitive application process is not being used for this action. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which often appears in notices like this when the precise structure of payments or budget details are contained in the associated agreement documentation rather than expressed as typical minimum and maximum award ranges on the public synopsis.
For further information or access issues with the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Sandra Newton, Awarding Officer, at 305-242-7028 and SandraNewton@nps.gov. An additional information link is also provided through grants.gov. Overall, the notice functions primarily as a formal transparency step: it alerts the public that NPS intends to fund a specific Biscayne Bay coastal ecology monitoring and assessment effort under the IBBEAM program through a single cooperative agreement award, without inviting new proposals.
