Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Notice of Intent to Award to FIU for assessing near field effect in NESRS" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00320), is a discretionary grant action issued by the National Park Service (NPS) under CFDA 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education. The agency lists the activity area as Natural Resources Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out (for example, coordination, data sharing, technical collaboration, or joint planning), rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement.
The notice makes clear that this is not a competitive solicitation. It is a Notice of Intent to Award specifically to Florida International University (FIU) to conduct work described as "assessing near field effect in NESRS." The announcement repeats an important condition: no proposal will be accepted. In practical terms, that means the NPS has already identified FIU as the intended recipient and is publishing the notice for transparency and public record rather than inviting applications from other organizations. Although the eligibility section lists categories such as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and certain 501(c)(3) nonprofits, the stated intent and the no-proposal language indicate that those categories do not translate into an open application opportunity for this particular award.
The anticipated award amount is $150,000, and the funding details are consistent throughout the posting: estimated total funding of $150,000, an award ceiling of $150,000, and an award floor of $0. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), again reinforcing that it is targeted to one recipient. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning FIU would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award, based on the information provided.
Timing information shows how narrow the window was for the public notice. The opportunity was posted on September 1, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2014, and an archive date of October 1, 2014. Those dates align with the typical pattern for a notice of intent to award, where the purpose is to announce the agency's planned action rather than to support a standard application period with technical questions, proposal preparation, and competitive review.
For reference and official sourcing, the announcement points to Grants.gov as the additional information link (http://www.grants.gov). The listed point of contact is Celinda Hicks, Agreements Officer, reachable at 305-242-7742 or CelindaHicks@nps.gov, with a note indicating that applicants or members of the public who have difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically should contact her.
