NPS Southeast Region Marine Science Support Center | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The NPS Southeast Region Marine Science Support Center grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00309) is a discretionary National Park Service effort intended to support science and management capacity for ocean and coastal resources in the Southeast Region of the National Park System. The core purpose is to establish and maintain a dedicated Marine Science Support Center housed at the Universitys Belle W. Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology and Forest Science, with the broader aim of improving how ocean and coastal resources are studied, understood, and managed for NPS units. The opportunity is framed under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, reflecting that the supported work is expected to strengthen applied research, technical support, and science-based decision-making for park and regional resource needs.

This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement or partnership between the federal agency and the recipient during project implementation. It is tied to CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, signaling that the work is aligned with NPS priorities for cooperative research, technical assistance, and capacity-building that benefits national park resources. The notice specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified for the project.

A key feature of this posting is that it is a notice of intent to award rather than a competitive call for proposals. In practical terms, it is not a request for applications and does not invite open competition. Instead, it serves to publicly document NPSs intention to fund the described activities without full and open competition under an existing cooperative agreement (P14AC00882) with the University of Tennessee. The University of Tennessee is identified as a partner under the Southern Appalachian Mountains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, which provides an established framework for NPS and university collaboration. Although the eligible applicant types listed include public and private institutions of higher education and other entities (as clarified in the full text), the intent language makes clear that the planned recipient and agreement vehicle were already identified.

Administratively, the announcement was posted and created on Aug 14, 2015, with an original and current closing date of Aug 24, 2015, and an archive date of Sep 30, 2015. The funding fields show an estimated total funding amount of 0 and award floor and ceiling values of 0, which commonly occurs in notices that function primarily as a public transparency step for an intended non-competitive award rather than a standard competitive solicitation with a defined funding range. The issuing agency is the National Park Service, and the notice references the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in the context of announcing the intent.

For access issues or additional details, the listed point of contact is Brian Straka at 865-436-1217 and BrianStraka@nps.gov, and the general additional information link points to Grants.gov.
