Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Piping Plover Adaptive Management Support for Cape Hatteras National Seashore" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00264) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice centered on science, technology, and research support for adaptive management work involving piping plovers at Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The project is framed as a cooperative effort intended to strengthen coordination between an academic partner and the park, with the practical aim of helping the seashore carry out specific adaptive management initiatives that are already laid out in the park's Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement. In other words, the work is meant to support on-the-ground decision-making and management actions tied to protecting piping plovers while the seashore also manages recreational use, including vehicle access, in a way that aligns with established environmental planning documents.
This opportunity is structured as a Cooperative Agreement rather than a standard grant, which signals that NPS expects substantial involvement in the work, such as collaboration on planning, execution, and applying results to management decisions. The funding activity category is listed under research and development, emphasizing that the project is meant to produce usable information or tools for adaptive management rather than being purely academic. The estimated total funding amount is $10,000, with one expected award, and there is no stated cost sharing or matching requirement. The notice was posted on August 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 5, 2014, and it was archived on September 30, 2014.
A key detail is that this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice of NPS's intent to make an award without full and open competition. The eligibility section lists categories like private institutions of higher education and federally recognized tribal governments, but the narrative clarifies that the agency already intended to fund a specific set of project activities through Cooperative Agreement P14AC00882 with the University of Tennessee, identified as a partner under the Southern Appalachian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. Although the brief description states the project "starts a cooperative relationship between Virginia Tech and Cape Hatteras National Seashore," the formal intent-to-award language points to the University of Tennessee as the award recipient under the referenced cooperative agreement mechanism, which is important for understanding who was actually positioned to receive the funding under this notice.
Overall, the opportunity reflects a targeted, management-driven research support action by NPS to advance piping plover adaptive management at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, tied directly to commitments and approaches described in the ORV management planning and environmental review framework. For access issues or further details, the listed contact for the announcement was Brian Straka at the National Park Service (phone 865-436-1217, email brianstraka@nps.gov).
