Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior announcement stating its intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for a research project focused on the ecological effects of a storm-driven barrier breach in a temperate lagoonal estuary, specifically in the post-Hurricane Sandy context. The core purpose of the project, as reflected in the title, is to examine how a breach in a coastal barrier system caused by a major storm can alter biological community assemblages (which species are present and in what abundance) and broader ecosystem structure (how the estuary functions physically, chemically, and biologically). The announcement is explicitly not a request for applications; it is a public transparency notice that the NPS plans to fund this work without soliciting competing proposals.
The planned award is being made through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) network, under the North Atlantic Coast CESU cooperative agreement vehicle (Cooperative Agreement P14AC00888). The specific task agreement identified for this work is P14AC01701, and the designated recipient is the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) on behalf of Stony Brook University. Because it is a single-source action, the “eligible applicants” field effectively does not function as an open eligibility statement; the notice clarifies that the intended recipient is Stony Brook University’s SUNY Research Foundation (listed as a private institution of higher education in the posting), and there is only one expected award.
Administratively, the opportunity is cataloged under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0146 and is categorized as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The CFDA program identified is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with NPS-supported research and applied science that informs stewardship of park resources. There is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required by the announcement to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
In terms of funding scale and timing, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $149,995, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $149,995, indicating a fixed intended award amount rather than a range. The posting date and creation date are both September 9, 2014. The original and current closing dates are September 14, 2014, followed by an archive date of September 15, 2014. In the context of a notice of intent (rather than a competition), these dates function more as the public posting window and recordkeeping timeline than as a true application deadline.
For anyone seeking more detail, the posting indicates that complete information is contained in an attachment accessible via the “Full Announcement” link on Grants.gov. The listed point of contact for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, with a provided phone number (215-597-6476). Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a formal notice documenting NPS’s intention to directly fund Stony Brook University, through the North Atlantic Coast CESU mechanism, to study ecological and community-level impacts of a storm-induced barrier breach in a lagoonal estuary after Hurricane Sandy, with a total project value of $149,995 and no open application process.
