Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) funding announcement titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - Monitoring and Evaluation of Restoration and Resilience Jamaica Bay Unit, Shoreline and Geomorphology Post Hurricane Sandy" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 14 NERO 0122). It is a discretionary funding action tied to Hurricane Sandy recovery work, and it is being issued strictly as a public notice. In other words, it is not a solicitation and not a request for applications. The purpose is to inform the public that NPS intends to move forward with funding a specific set of project activities without using full and open competition.
The planned award is a single cooperative agreement (Expected Awards: 1) under CFDA 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System." The focus of the work is monitoring and evaluation related to restoration and resilience efforts in the Jamaica Bay Unit, with an emphasis on shoreline conditions and geomorphology in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The phrasing indicates that the project is meant to track, assess, and document how shorelines and landforms have changed post-storm and how restoration actions are performing, which is a typical need after major coastal disturbance events where erosion, sediment movement, and shoreline reconfiguration can substantially alter habitat and infrastructure risk.
The total funding amount is fixed at $328,698, which is also listed as both the award ceiling and the award floor, meaning NPS anticipated one award at exactly that amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The opportunity category is listed as "Discretionary," the funding instrument type is "Cooperative Agreement," and the activity category is marked as "Other" with the explanation "Hurricane Sandy," reinforcing that this is part of storm response and recovery programming rather than a routine annual grant cycle.
Eligibility is effectively not open in practice because the announcement is not competitive. While the listing includes "Eligible Applicants: Others" and points to an eligibility clarification field, the repeated statement that this is only a notice of intent to fund without full and open competition is the key detail: organizations should not interpret this as an open call. The posting date and creation date are both August 13, 2014. The original and current closing dates are August 18, 2014, and the archive date is August 19, 2014. Those dates function more like administrative milestones for publishing and archiving the notice rather than an application deadline, since applications were not being requested.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, phone 215-597-5949, associated with NPS grants administration.
