Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action titled "Post Hurricane Sandy submerged marine habitat mapping, Fire Island National Seashore (Revised)" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 14 NERO 0125). It is explicitly labeled a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, the agency is signaling that it has identified a partner and intends to move forward with an award under limited-competition conditions, rather than running a competitive grant process.
The planned award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, participating in technical direction, coordination, review of deliverables, or joint decision-making), rather than simply providing funds and receiving final results. The funding activity is categorized under Hurricane Sandy, aligning the work with post-storm response and recovery needs. The project focus, as reflected in the title, is submerged marine habitat mapping at Fire Island National Seashore, suggesting work such as seafloor or nearshore habitat characterization, mapping of benthic features, and documenting storm-driven changes to underwater habitats relevant to resource management and restoration planning.
Financially, the announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $480,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $480,000, indicating the funding amount is effectively fixed for this intended action. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which commonly supports partnerships that generate research, mapping, monitoring, and other applied science products that help manage and protect national park resources.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but the text clarifies that the announcement is not open for applications because it is a notice tied to a non-competitive intent to fund. The key dates show it was posted and created on August 19, 2014, had an original and current closing date of August 24, 2014, and was archived on August 25, 2014. Those dates function more as a public notice window than an application deadline, since the agency is not soliciting proposals. For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949.
