Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a public announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and Everglades National Park stating their intent to make a single award for a specific invasive-species support project in Everglades National Park. It is explicitly not a call for applications and not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it serves to inform the public that NPS plans to fund work under an existing cooperative agreement (H5000105040) without full and open competition.
The planned project is titled "Decision making, planning, management, and research support for invasive species in Everglades National Park." In practical terms, the scope centers on providing technical and scientific support that helps the park make better-informed decisions about invasive species. That includes activities related to planning and management strategies, improving decision-making frameworks, and conducting or supporting research efforts tied to invasive species issues within Everglades National Park. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, aligning the work with conservation and ecosystem management priorities.
Key administrative details show this is a discretionary cooperative agreement with an expected number of awards listed as one, meaning NPS anticipated funding only a single recipient for this effort. The eligible applicant type identified is private institutions of higher education, suggesting the intended partner is likely a private university or similar research-focused academic organization. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement associated with this award.
Financially, the estimated total funding amount is $171,024. The listing shows an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which commonly appears in notices of intent or non-competitive postings where the agency is not using the listing to solicit bids and may not structure it like a standard competitive grant package. The opportunity is tied to CFDA number 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education," which is the program under which the support is being funded.
The notice was posted and created on August 24, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2015, and it was archived on September 5, 2015. The closing date in this context functions more like an administrative endpoint for the public notice rather than a deadline for proposals, since the announcement states that applications are not being requested. For anyone needing access to the full announcement or encountering issues with the electronic posting, the contact listed is Sandra Newton, Awarding Officer, at 305-242-7028 and SandraNewton@nps.gov. The associated Grants.gov funding opportunity number is P15AS00337, and an additional information link was provided through Grants.gov.
