Opportunity Summary:

The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Monitoring Estuarine Condition at Fire Island National Seashore, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site and Gateway National Recreation Area" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that the NPS intends to provide additional funding to an existing cooperative agreement arrangement, specifically a modification that adds funds to an already established CESU (Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units) task agreement with Stony Brook University. The core purpose of the project is environmental monitoring focused on estuarine condition across three NPS-managed sites in the New York area: Fire Island National Seashore, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, and Gateway National Recreation Area.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity category is listed as "Environment," and the associated CFDA program listing is 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The notice anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) and indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The estimated total funding amount is $34,571, and both the award floor and award ceiling are the same ($34,571), meaning the NPS is indicating a fixed funding amount for this specific action rather than a range.

Eligibility is narrowly defined because this is a non-competitive intent to award tied to an existing agreement. The recipient is identified as a public or state-controlled institution of higher education, and the notice specifies Stony Brook University as the intended partner under the CESU task agreement framework. In practice, that means other organizations are not being invited to compete for or apply to this funding; the posting exists primarily to meet transparency and public notice expectations when an agency proceeds without full and open competition.

Timing details show the notice was posted on June 24, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 29, 2012, and an archive date of June 30, 2012. These dates function more like an administrative public notice window rather than an application period, since no applications are being requested. For those needing the full documentation, the notice directs readers to the attachment available under the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. A point of contact is provided for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
