Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Visionmaker Jamaica Bay: Analysis of Community Generated Adaptation Strategies to Enhance Resilient Ecosystems in Jamaica Bay Post Hurricane Sandy, New York." It is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior and is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the public cannot apply for this funding through Grants.gov. Instead, it serves as a transparency notice that NPS plans to move forward with a specific recipient and set of activities without full and open competition.
The planned award is a cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0141) with the Wildlife Conservation Society, identified as a nonprofit entity and the sole eligible/selected organization for this action. Because it is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, it generally implies active involvement by NPS in carrying out or overseeing elements of the project work. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, and is categorized in Grants.gov under "Other" with a clarification that it is a notice of intent to award.
The project focus, as reflected in the title, is Jamaica Bay in New York and centers on understanding and evaluating adaptation strategies generated by the community in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The core theme is resilience: examining how community-driven adaptation ideas can support or enhance resilient ecosystems in Jamaica Bay. While the notice points readers to an attachment for full project specifics, the title indicates an analytical effort that connects stakeholder input and adaptation planning to ecosystem resilience outcomes, presumably to inform management, restoration, and stewardship decisions in the post-Sandy landscape.
Financially, the total anticipated funding is $349,999, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $349,999, indicating a single fixed expected award amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Only one award is expected.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted on September 2, 2014, with administrative dates showing creation on September 5, 2014, an original closing date of September 7, 2014, a current closing date of September 10, 2014, and an archive date of September 11, 2014. These dates function more like posting and recordkeeping milestones than an application window, since the announcement is not soliciting proposals.
For access or procedural questions, the notice directs users to the full announcement attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link and provides a point of contact for those who cannot access the announcement electronically: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
