Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a "Notice of Intent to Award" issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the National Park Service (NPS) and Everglades National Park. It is not a call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a public transparency notice stating that the NPS plans to make a single cooperative agreement award without full and open competition. The project will be carried out under an existing cooperative agreement framework (Cooperative Agreement H5000 10 5040) with the South Florida/Caribbean Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU).
The planned project is titled "Monitor physical conditions and assess wading bird habitat on Cape Sable in Everglades National Park." The core purpose is to support natural resource monitoring and evaluation work focused on Cape Sable, an important area within Everglades National Park. The work described centers on monitoring physical/environmental conditions and using that information to assess habitat conditions for wading birds, which are key indicators of Everglades ecosystem health and are closely tied to hydrology, water levels, prey availability, and wetland dynamics.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to remain substantially involved in the project rather than simply providing a pass-through grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the listing is associated with CFDA 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education." The notice anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is posting a formal intent notice and the exact obligation terms are handled through the cooperative agreement instrument rather than an open competitive solicitation. No cost sharing or matching funds are required.
Although the eligible applicant type is shown as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (other than institutions of higher education), the practical takeaway is that this notice is specifically tied to a non-competitive award intended for the named CESU partner. In other words, there is no competitive application process for outside organizations because the purpose of the posting is to document the agency's intention to fund the work through the CESU mechanism.
Key dates in the listing include a posted and created date of June 29, 2015, an original/current closing date of July 6, 2015, and an archive date of July 7, 2015. In the context of a notice of intent, the "closing date" generally functions as the end of the public notice window rather than an application deadline for submissions. Anyone needing the full announcement or encountering access issues is directed to contact Sandra Newton, Financial Assistance Officer, at 305-242-7028 or SandraNewton@nps.gov. The notice also points to Grants.gov for the posting details under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00181.
