Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a "Notice of Intent to Award" from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), specifically tied to Biscayne National Park. It is not a request for applications and does not invite competitive proposals. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that the NPS plans to make a single award without full and open competition under an existing cooperative agreement (H5000 10 5040). The intended partner is the South Florida Caribbean Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), and the project is titled "Marine and Coastal Resource Management Techs in the Biscayne National Park."
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, and it falls under the Natural Resources activity category. Only one award is expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000. The notice lists no award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0), which typically reflects how the listing was entered rather than implying no funding; the estimated total funding amount is the meaningful figure provided. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated.
Eligibility is described as limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is a pre-selected, non-competitive intent to award through the CESU framework, the eligibility language is largely informational and does not indicate an open competition where multiple applicants could apply. The assistance listing is associated with CFDA number 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education."
Key dates show the posting and creation date as February 20, 2015, with a closing date of February 21, 2015, and an archive date of February 25, 2015. In the context of an intent-to-award notice, the short window is consistent with a procedural posting rather than a period for submitting applications.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement or having questions about the notice, the listed point of contact is Sandra Newton, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable at 305-242-7028 or SandraNewton@nps.gov. An additional information link is provided through Grants.gov, and the funding opportunity number for reference is P15AS00052.
