Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project titled "Detecting Water Quality Regime Shifts in Jamaica Bay (Post Hurricane Sandy study)." It is explicitly not a competitive funding opportunity and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS intends to provide funding for specific project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency planned to make a single award to a selected partner rather than soliciting proposals from the broader public.
The planned award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance (for example, collaboration on study design, data sharing, coordination with park operations, or joint technical oversight), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The funding activity is tied to Hurricane Sandy response and recovery work, as reflected in the category explanation referencing Hurricane Sandy and the study focus on post-storm conditions in Jamaica Bay.
The notice indicates there would be one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $282,998. The award ceiling is listed as $282,998 and the award floor is essentially the same (listed as $282,988), signaling that the budget was effectively predetermined and very narrowly bounded. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The associated CFDA program is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with research-focused partnerships supporting national park resources.
Key dates show that the notice was posted and created on August 13, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 18, 2014, and an archive date of August 19, 2014. In the context of a non-competitive notice, these dates function more as the public posting window for transparency rather than an application deadline, since applications were not being requested.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," but the text clarifies that this is a notice of intent to award without competition, so the practical implication is that NPS had already identified the intended recipient or partner organization for this cooperative agreement. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email referenced for electronic access assistance.
