Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Notice of Intent to Award University of Miami Under MA#P16AC00032" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00167) is a discretionary federal award announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in how the project is carried out rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The assistance listing/CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 15.945, and the program area is categorized under Environment and Natural Resources.
This announcement is not an open call for proposals. It is explicitly a notice of intent to award, meaning DOI-NPS has already identified the recipient and is providing public notice rather than seeking competitive applications. As stated in the description, applications will not be accepted. Even though the listing shows eligible applicant categories as public/state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, that eligibility language is standard boilerplate for the program area and does not change the fact that this particular action is a non-competitive, pre-selected award.
The intended recipient is the University of Miami under task agreement MA#P16AC00032. The purpose of the task agreement is to support interns who will conduct research and management activities related to invasive lionfish. Lionfish are a well-known invasive species in Atlantic and Caribbean marine environments, and research and management efforts commonly include monitoring and population assessments, documenting ecological impacts on native reef communities, evaluating removal strategies, and supporting field operations that reduce lionfish densities in sensitive habitats. The emphasis on interns suggests the agreement is designed to build capacity through hands-on training while producing practical management outcomes for invasive species control, likely in or near National Park Service-managed coastal or marine areas where lionfish pose a concern.
The award information indicates an expected single award with an award ceiling of $29,610. The posting date and creation date are both May 16, 2016, and the listed closing date is May 26, 2016. In this context, the closing date functions more as an administrative timestamp for the notice rather than a deadline for submissions, since no applications are being solicited or accepted.
