Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for a project focused on salt marsh impacts and monitoring after Hurricane Sandy. It is explicitly not a call for proposals or an opportunity to apply. Instead, it serves as a public transparency announcement that NPS plans to fund specific work through an existing cooperative agreement mechanism rather than through full and open competition.
The project is titled "Post Hurricane Sandy Salt Marsh Change Detection and Development of Salt Marsh Change Detection Protocol for the Northeast Coastal Parks." In practical terms, the work centers on detecting and documenting changes in salt marshes following Hurricane Sandy and then turning what is learned into a standardized change-detection protocol that can be used across Northeast coastal park units. The emphasis on both "change detection" and "protocol development" suggests two linked outputs: first, an assessment or analysis of marsh change (often done through remote sensing, GIS analysis, field validation, or a combination), and second, a repeatable, documented methodology that park staff and partners can apply consistently over time and across locations.
NPS intends to issue this as a CESU (Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units) single-source task agreement under an already-established cooperative agreement, specifically Cooperative Agreement P09AC00212 (formerly H4503090700), between the U.S. Department of the Interior / National Park Service and the University of Rhode Island. The "single source" language is important: it means NPS plans to fund a particular eligible institution (a public, state-controlled institution of higher education) without soliciting competing applications. The eligible applicant category listed aligns with that approach, and the notice indicates the University of Rhode Island is the partner under the existing agreement vehicle.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed in this posting. NPS lists one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $200,000, indicating the planned award amount is $200,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project (for example, coordination on methods, deliverables, data standards, or application in park management contexts), as opposed to a more hands-off grant.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "NPS 14 NERO 0009" and is associated with CFDA number 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). It was posted March 17, 2014, carried an original and current closing date of March 23, 2014, and was archived March 24, 2014. Those dates function more as a public notice timeline than an application window, since the announcement states there is no request for applications.
For anyone needing access help or clarification about the posting itself (not to submit an application), the listed contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist at NPS, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949. The notice also points readers to the full announcement attachment on Grants.gov for complete details, reinforcing that the key purpose of this listing is documentation of NPS intent to fund this specific work through an established partnership agreement rather than to solicit new applicants.
