Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action, issued as a "Notice of Intent to Award" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0092. It is not an open solicitation and is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency notice that the NPS intends to make a single award without full and open competition for a specific set of project activities focused on providing guidance to the NPS for conducting vulnerability assessments. The work is tied to the Northeast Region and specifically references a pilot vulnerability assessment effort at Colonial National Historical Park.
The planned funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that NPS anticipates substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordinating scope, providing data or direction, and collaborating on deliverables) rather than simply issuing a standard grant with minimal federal involvement. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the program is listed under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System. In practical terms, the project is positioned as applied research and technical support that helps NPS evaluate climate or other stressor-related vulnerabilities and integrate that assessment approach into park planning and management.
The total anticipated funding for this action is $125,000, and the notice indicates there will be exactly one expected award. Both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $125,000, which strongly implies the NPS intended a single, fixed amount award at that level. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. Because this is not a competitive opportunity, the eligibility statement mainly clarifies what kind of entity the NPS expects to fund, rather than inviting multiple eligible applicants to apply. The posting date and creation date are July 7, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 16, 2015, and an archive date of July 17, 2015. In the context of a notice of intent, the short window functions more like a public notice period than a typical application deadline.
For administrative questions or issues accessing the announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, with a listed phone number (215-597-5949) and an NPS email contact (partially shown in the source text). Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a non-competitive, single-award cooperative agreement intended to support NPS with expert guidance on vulnerability assessment methods for a Northeast Region pilot at Colonial National Historical Park, funded at $125,000 with no matching requirement.
