Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to award a single cooperative agreement action titled "Providing Scientific Foundation for Adressing Natural Resource Managment Issues at Coastal National Parks of the NE." The key point is that it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public transparency posting stating that the NPS plans to fund specific project activities through an existing cooperative agreement mechanism, without full and open competition. In practical terms, the agency has already selected its partner and is documenting that decision in accordance with federal notice and competition requirements.
The planned award is tied to Task Agreement P11AT40479 (R4531110741) under Cooperative Agreement H4503090700, with the University of Rhode Island identified as the cooperator. The purpose, as indicated by the title and categorization, is to strengthen the scientific basis needed to address natural resource management issues affecting coastal national parks in the northeastern United States. While the brief synopsis does not list individual research tasks, the framing suggests applied science support for park decision-making, which commonly includes activities like coastal ecosystem monitoring, assessment of stressors (such as erosion, sea-level rise, habitat change, water quality pressures, and invasive species), data analysis, and translating findings into management-relevant guidance.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement instrument, categorized under an environmental funding activity. The announcement anticipates one award, with total estimated funding of USD 45,000. The award ceiling and floor are both USD 45,000, indicating the amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for the recipient. The eligible applicant category shown is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the named partner (University of Rhode Island), but because the notice is an intent to award without competition, this eligibility language does not imply that other institutions can apply for this specific action.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which is a common NPS assistance listing for research, technical assistance, and training collaborations that support park stewardship. The posting date is June 20, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2011, and an archive date of June 26, 2011. Those dates reflect the administrative window for the public notice rather than an application deadline, since the announcement explicitly states it is not soliciting proposals.
For anyone needing the complete details referenced in the notice, the NPS points readers to an attachment available under the full announcement. If there are problems accessing the documents electronically, the listed point of contact is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056.
