Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) public announcement of its intent to make a single, specific award for a project focused on identifying species at Acadia National Park that are vulnerable to climate change. It is explicitly not a call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal transparency step to inform the public that NPS plans to fund the described work without full and open competition, meaning the agency intends to proceed with a non-competitive award arrangement for the outlined activities.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0114 and is categorized as a discretionary award. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing funds and receiving final deliverables. The activity category is Natural Resources, aligning the project with resource management and science needs within the National Park System. The associated CFDA number is 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System), which is commonly used for research, technical assistance, and training efforts that support park resource stewardship.
Financially, the notice anticipates exactly one award with total estimated funding of $283,671. The award ceiling and award floor are both $283,671, which signals that NPS is announcing a single planned award amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on August 12, 2015. The original and current closing date are both August 21, 2015, and the archive date is August 22, 2015. In the context of a notice of intent to award, these dates generally reflect the public notice window rather than an application period, since the announcement states it is not soliciting applications. Eligible applicants are broadly referenced as "Others" with additional eligibility clarification indicated in the full announcement, but because this is not a competitive solicitation, eligibility language is largely procedural and does not function like an open competition where multiple applicants would submit proposals.
For questions or help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email also referenced in the posting.
