Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Reptile and Amphibian Surveys of Franklin D. Roosevelt NHS" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0070) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that was published primarily as a public notice rather than as an open call for proposals. The announcement is explicitly labeled a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not requesting applications from the public and is not being competed through a full and open competition process. In practical terms, this type of posting is used to document that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities with a particular recipient or through a limited selection process, and the posting exists to satisfy transparency requirements.
The work described by the title involves conducting reptile and amphibian surveys at Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site (NHS). While the notice does not provide methodological details, the purpose implied by the title is resource inventory and monitoring support for the National Park System, typically involving field surveys to document species presence, distribution, and possibly habitat associations. The assistance mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the project, such as coordination on study design, data standards, field priorities, and reporting requirements, rather than simply issuing a standard grant with minimal agency participation.
The funding amount is fixed and small-scale: the estimated total funding is $34,000, and both the award floor and award ceiling are also $34,000, signaling that NPS intended to make a single award for that exact amount. The announcement lists an expected number of awards as 1 and states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with projects that support scientific research, inventories, and training tied to park resource management needs.
Key dates show this was a short, time-limited notice rather than a solicitation. It was posted and created on July 1, 2014, had an original and current closing date of July 5, 2014, and was archived on July 7, 2014. Those dates are consistent with informational postings that remain available briefly to meet public notice expectations, not with opportunities designed to give applicants time to prepare and submit proposals.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but the accompanying eligibility language repeats the central point that the posting is not a request for applications and that the agency intends to fund activities without full and open competition. As a result, even though an eligibility category appears in the record, the content makes clear that outside entities were not being invited to apply through this announcement. Anyone needing access to the full announcement or having questions about the posting was directed to contact Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email contact referenced in the notice.
