Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a Notice of Intent to Award issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS), under Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00169. It is specifically tied to the University of Miami under an existing master agreement (MA# P16AC00032). Because it is a notice of intent rather than an open solicitation, it is not accepting applications and is not being competed. In practical terms, the agency is signaling that it plans to make a single award to a predetermined recipient, so outside organizations cannot apply for this particular agreement.
The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, such as coordination on study design, field priorities, data standards, and reporting. The activity focus falls under Environment and Natural Resources (CFDA 15.945), and the work described is centered on marine ecology and natural resource monitoring in National Park Service units within the region served by SFCN (South Florida/Caribbean Network). The purpose of the task agreement is to support ongoing monitoring of marine natural resources in regional park units, which generally includes collecting, organizing, and helping interpret ecological data used to track ecosystem condition and inform management decisions.
The scope of work described is straightforward: two interns will be placed in the Marine Ecology Division to conduct marine ecology studies and assist SFCN with monitoring activities. While the notice does not list specific field methods, marine natural resource monitoring in this context often involves assisting with surveys and sampling in coastal and marine habitats, supporting data management and quality control, helping with routine monitoring protocols, and contributing to summaries or other deliverables that feed into network reporting. The emphasis on interns indicates the agreement is also intended to build workforce capacity and provide hands-on training while supporting the National Park Service monitoring mission.
In terms of funding and timing, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $43,307 and anticipates one award total. The posting date and creation date are both May 16, 2016, with an original and current closing date of May 26, 2016. Even though a closing date is shown, the notice makes clear that applications will not be accepted; the date functions more as an administrative marker in the funding system rather than a deadline for competitive submissions.
Eligible applicant types are listed broadly in the standard notice fields (special district governments and public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education). However, because this is a notice of intent to award under a specific master agreement and recipient (University of Miami), those general eligibility categories are not meaningful for this specific action. The key takeaway is that this is a non-competitive, predetermined cooperative agreement intended to fund two intern positions to support marine ecology studies and the monitoring of marine natural resources in National Park Service units within the SFCN region, with a total planned funding level capped at $43,307 and a single expected award.
