Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Notice of Intent to Award, Florida International University Under MA# P16AC00032" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00298) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient rather than simply issuing a standard grant with minimal federal participation. The program is associated with CFDA 15.945, which aligns with NPS assistance for conservation and resource management activities.
This posting is not an open competition. It is explicitly a notice of intent to award, and it states that applications will not be accepted. In practical terms, that means the NPS has already identified the intended recipient and is publishing the notice for transparency and documentation rather than to solicit proposals from the broader community. While the eligibility field lists public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education, the intent language makes clear the award is effectively directed, with Florida International University being the named institution tied to the master agreement referenced (MA# P16AC00032).
The purpose of the task agreement is focused on coastal and marine environmental science in Florida Bay, specifically the mud banks that influence bay hydrodynamics, habitat conditions, sediment transport, and ecological stability. The work is intended to evaluate mud bank stability and to quantify physical changes over time, including bank migration as well as accretion (sediment build-up) and loss/erosion rates. A central goal is not only to measure those changes but to support analysis of how those rates relate to environmental drivers, including long-term sea level trends. In other words, the effort is designed to connect geomorphic change (how the banks move and change shape) with broader environmental conditions and climate-related factors.
Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $25,000 and anticipates a single award. The opportunity was created on June 28, 2016, with an original closing date of July 7, 2016, but that closing date functions more as an administrative milestone for the notice rather than a deadline for applicants, since proposals are not being accepted. Overall, this is a small, single-recipient cooperative agreement supporting targeted scientific evaluation of Florida Bay mud bank dynamics and their relationship to environmental conditions, including sea level change, under the National Park Service.
