Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a federal grant action by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), specifically involving Biscayne National Park. The key point is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning the NPS is publicly announcing that it plans to fund a specific project and recipient arrangement, and it is not asking the public to submit applications. In other words, it functions as a transparency notice rather than a competitive funding announcement.
The project is titled "Conduct Visitor Use Survey for Biscayne National Park" and is meant to support natural resource-related management by collecting information about park visitors and how they use the park. Visitor use surveys are commonly used by parks to understand visitation patterns, visitor experiences, activities, satisfaction, and potential impacts on resources and facilities. The results can inform decisions about visitor services, resource protection, education and outreach efforts, and long-term planning. The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources, and it is tied to the National Park Service program listed under CFDA 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education."
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work compared to a typical grant. The notice references a specific cooperative agreement number, H5000105040, and states that the project will be funded without full and open competition. That language indicates a noncompetitive award approach, typically used when there is a justified reason to select a particular partner rather than run an open competition.
Administrative details in the listing include a Funding Opportunity Number of P15AS00384, an expected number of awards of one, and an estimated total funding amount of $156,234. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which often happens in notices that are primarily informational and not structured as an open solicitation with variable award sizes. No cost sharing or matching is required. The eligible applicant type is listed as private institutions of higher education, which suggests the intended recipient is likely a private university or similar academic institution with relevant research capacity in survey design, social science methods, recreation management, or visitor use monitoring.
The notice was posted and created on September 3, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 13, 2015, and an archive date of September 14, 2015. Because it is not a request for applications, the closing date is best understood as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline to submit proposals. An additional information link is provided through Grants.gov, and the point of contact for assistance is Sandra Newton, Awarding Officer, at 305-242-7028 and SandraNewton@nps.gov.
