Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project focused on monitoring estuarine condition at three NPS units in the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network: Colonial National Historical Park, George Washington Birthplace National Monument, and Assateague Island National Seashore. The key point is that it is not a call for proposals and not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, NPS is publicly posting that it plans to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0020 and is categorized as a discretionary action by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. The assistance listing (CFDA) associated with it is 15.945. The activity category is labeled "Other," which typically signals a specialized project type that does not fit neatly into standard grant program buckets and is explained further in the full announcement materials referenced on Grants.gov.
Financially, the notice indicates an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $118,319. The posting and creation dates are February 24, 2016, and the listed closing date is March 4, 2016. In the context of a notice of intent, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative posting window rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since the announcement explicitly states it is not requesting applications.
Eligibility is not broadly opened; it is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. That language generally implies the recipient is likely pre-identified or limited to a narrow class of partners. Because this will be implemented via a cooperative agreement, NPS typically expects substantial involvement from the agency during the project, such as technical coordination, shared planning, data standards, or joint field and reporting oversight, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction.
In practical terms, the project’s purpose is to support ongoing or targeted monitoring of estuarine condition across the named parks within the NPS Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network framework. While this summary notice does not spell out the technical tasks, "monitoring estuarine condition" in NPS network programs commonly involves collecting and analyzing measurements that help track ecosystem health over time, such as water quality indicators, habitat and biological condition metrics, and other measures relevant to estuarine environments. The announcement directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov and the full announcement text for the complete scope, justification for the noncompetitive approach, and any partner-specific details.
