Opportunity Summary:
This funding notice is a Notice of Intent to Award from the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) for a project titled "Natural Resource Condition Assessment for Three National Parks within the U.S. Virgin Islands." It is listed as a discretionary opportunity, but it is not an open competition and is not accepting applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to fund a specific task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement.
The award will be issued as a Cooperative Agreement under the South Florida Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Master Cooperative Agreement number P16AC00032. The funding opportunity number is P16AS00563, and the announcement was created on August 26, 2016. Because this is not a request for proposals, there is no application window or closing date in the normal sense; the original closing date statement explicitly says the announcement is only to provide notice of NPS intent to fund the project through the task agreement mechanism.
The primary purpose of the agreement is to produce credible, science-based natural resource information that is directly relevant and usable for National Park managers in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The emphasis is on generating information that can support practical management needs, especially strategic planning and decision-making. In other words, the work is intended to assess and communicate the condition of natural resources in three national parks within the U.S. Virgin Islands in a way that helps park leadership prioritize actions, evaluate risks, and make informed choices about conservation and resource protection.
The anticipated federal funding amount is up to an award ceiling of $212,299, with an expectation of a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA number is 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service programs. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but since the announcement is not accepting applications and the work is being issued under a specific CESU master agreement, the practical reality is that the recipient is being selected through that existing cooperative agreement framework rather than through a new open solicitation.
Overall, this notice functions mainly as a transparency step: it informs the public that NPS intends to fund one specific cooperative task agreement, identifies the governing master cooperative agreement vehicle, and states that the project will deliver science-based resource condition information to support management of national park units in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
