Opportunity Summary:

The Notice of Intent to Award for the New Jersey Pinelands Long Term Environmental Monitoring Program is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior stating the agency's plan to provide funding through a cooperative agreement. The key point is that this is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that NPS intends to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition.

This opportunity is identified under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0137 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement instrument. The program aligns with CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, indicating the work is tied to managing, protecting, and understanding natural resources over time. The activity category is listed as "Other," with the clarification that the listing is a notice of intent rather than an open funding competition.

The award is structured as a single-source action, meaning NPS intends to make one award and has already identified the recipient. The intended awardee is the New Jersey Pinelands Commission, which is a state government entity. Because the recipient is pre-selected, the "eligible applicants" field effectively does not open eligibility to the broader public; it reinforces that the announcement is only to disclose the planned noncompetitive funding action.

Funding details are clearly defined and fixed in this notice. The estimated total funding amount is $288,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $288,000, signaling the award amount is set rather than variable. The notice states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of the award.

From a timing standpoint, the notice was posted and created on August 27, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 5, 2015, and an archive date of September 6, 2015. In notices like this, the "closing date" functions more as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting proposals, since applications are not being requested.

For anyone needing the complete details, the announcement directs readers to Grants.gov to open the "Related Documents" section and then view the Full Announcement. The listed point of contact for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
