Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice, Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00340, is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" rather than an open call for proposals. In practical terms, it is published to inform the public that the U.S. Department of the Interior, through the NPS and Everglades National Park, plans to fund a specific project through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition. The project referenced is titled "Ecosystem Dynamics in White Zone in the Everglades National Park," and it is associated with Cooperative Agreement H5000105040. Because it is a notice of intent and explicitly "not a request for applications," organizations should not expect to submit new applications under this announcement.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and will be issued using a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the listing ties to CFDA number 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). The notice indicates an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that the agency intends to make a single, targeted award rather than run a competitive selection process.
The estimated total funding amount for the planned award is $102,575. The posting date and creation date are both August 25, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 1, 2015, and an archive date of September 5, 2015. The announcement lists award ceiling and floor as $0, which is a common artifact in notices that are not structured as competitive funding opportunities; the meaningful number to focus on is the estimated total funding. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated.
Eligibility is noted as private institutions of higher education. Even so, because the notice is not soliciting applications and is tied to a specific cooperative agreement, that eligibility field should be read as informational about the type of entity associated with the intended recipient or the allowable recipient type, not as an invitation for multiple institutions to apply.
For additional details, the notice points to Grants.gov and provides an agency contact for access issues or questions: Sandra Newton, Awarding Officer, at 305-242-7028 or SandraNewton@nps.gov.
