Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award for a project called Sea Turtle Conservation Internship at Biscayne National Park. It is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the NPS and is meant to publicly announce the agency's plan to provide funding for specific project activities. It is not a competitive grant announcement and it is not a request for applications, meaning no proposals will be accepted and there is no open competition for this funding.
The award is planned as a cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00021) under an existing cooperative agreement framework (referenced as Cooperative Agreement H5000 10 5040). The intended recipient is the University of Miami, which is identified as a partner under the Caribbean Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The listing indicates an expected single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $19,000. Both the award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which generally signals that the announcement is informational rather than structured like a typical competitive solicitation with defined minimums and maximums.
The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number is 15.931, described as Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. Cost sharing or matching is not required. While the eligible applicant category is listed as private institutions of higher education, this notice is specifically tied to the planned, non-competitive funding action with the University of Miami rather than a pool of applicants.
Key dates included in the posting show it was posted and created on December 16, 2014, with an original and current closing date of December 22, 2014, and an archive date of January 5, 2015. Those dates function more as a public notice timeline than an application window, since the announcement explicitly states that proposals will not be accepted.
Anyone needing access to the full announcement or experiencing issues retrieving it electronically is directed to contact Sandra Newton, Contract Specialist, at 305-242-7028 or via email at SandraNewton@nps.gov. The public listing also points to Grants.gov for additional information through the provided link.
