Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Notice of Intent to Award, Florida International University Under MA: P16AC00032" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00299) is a discretionary grant notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, such as coordinating technical approaches, reviewing deliverables, or collaborating on monitoring priorities and reporting.
This announcement is not an open competition. It is explicitly a notice of intent to award, and the National Park Service states that applications will not be accepted under this posting. In practice, this kind of notice is used when the agency has already identified the intended recipient under an existing relationship or agreement vehicle, in this case referencing a master agreement (MA) identified as P16AC00032, with Florida International University. The posting includes an "Original Closing Date" of July 7, 2016, but that date functions more as an administrative marker for the notice rather than a true application deadline, since no applications are being solicited.
The purpose of the task agreement is to conduct monitoring for potential water quality impacts along the eastern boundary of Everglades National Park, including the Taylor Slough area. That focus suggests the work is aimed at tracking environmental conditions and potential stressors that could affect park waters and wetlands, particularly in a hydrologically sensitive corridor where outside land and water management can influence the park. While the notice does not list methods, timelines, or sampling plans, monitoring efforts of this kind commonly involve collecting and analyzing water quality parameters (for example, nutrients, salinity, contaminants, and other indicators), documenting spatial and temporal trends, and producing data and reporting that help park managers understand current conditions and emerging risks.
The opportunity is categorized under the Environment and Natural Resources activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service programs. The eligible applicant types listed are public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, reflecting the academic partnership nature of the work, even though the notice is specifically tied to Florida International University as the intended awardee.
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $130,000 and indicates the agency expects to make one award. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the funds would typically support the monitoring activities described in the statement of work for the task agreement, which may include field sampling, laboratory analysis, data management, interpretation, and technical reporting aligned with National Park Service needs for Everglades boundary and Taylor Slough water quality oversight.
Key details from the posting are: Agency: Department of the Interior, National Park Service; Funding Instrument: Cooperative Agreement; Opportunity Category: Discretionary; Creation Date: June 28, 2016; Notice Date/Administrative Close: July 7, 2016; Expected Awards: 1; Maximum Amount: $130,000; Purpose: monitoring for potential water quality impacts along the eastern boundary of Everglades National Park, including Taylor Slough; and importantly, no applications are accepted because this is a notice of intent to award rather than a competitive solicitation.
