Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive award to support collaborative planning and implementation work tied to science priorities at Cape Cod National Seashore for the 2015 to 2017 period. It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not a solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency step to inform the public that NPS plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition.
The opportunity is issued under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0095 and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as coordinating activities, participating in planning, or helping guide implementation alongside the recipient. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA listing is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which is commonly used for research, technical assistance, and related capacity-building efforts that support national park resource stewardship.
In practical terms, the project focus is on providing planning and implementation support for Cape Cod National Seashore science priorities. While the notice does not list detailed tasks in the excerpt provided, the title suggests work that helps organize, coordinate, and carry out science-related priorities for the park over the stated two-year window. That kind of support often includes coordination among partners, helping translate science priorities into actionable work plans, organizing meetings or workshops, supporting data or knowledge-sharing workflows, and helping ensure that science efforts align with park management needs. Because the notice emphasizes "collaborative planning and implementation," the funded partner is likely expected to work closely with NPS staff and potentially other stakeholders involved in park science and resource management.
The financial details are very specific: NPS anticipates making one award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with total estimated funding of $65,994. The award floor and ceiling are both $65,994, which signals that NPS has a fixed amount in mind for the intended recipient and that the planned award amount is not presented as a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute a required non-federal share as a condition of the award.
The posting timeline reflects its function as a notice rather than an open competition. The notice was posted and created on July 8, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 17, 2015, and an archive date of July 18, 2015. In the context of notices of intent, these dates typically represent the public notice window rather than a period in which applications are accepted.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with an instruction to see additional eligibility information, but the key point repeated throughout the notice is that this is not open for applications. The NPS is announcing its intention to fund a particular set of activities, presumably with a specific partner organization, through a cooperative agreement and without full and open competition.
For administrative or access issues, the contact provided is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email referenced (though not fully shown in the excerpt). This contact is geared toward questions about accessing the announcement or grants management logistics, not for submitting an application, since applications are not being solicited under this notice.
