Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for resource management work in and around Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate National Recreation Area, under the opportunity title "Resource Management Projects within Point Reyes NS - Golden Gate NRA" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00266). It is a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a competitive grant solicitation, meaning it is not requesting applications from the public and is instead providing formal public notice that NPS plans to fund specific project activities through a non-competitive process.
The planned recipient is the Point Reyes National Seashore Association (PRNSA), a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status. NPS states that PRNSA is uniquely qualified to carry out the work due to several practical and programmatic advantages. Those factors include PRNSA being co-located within the park, the organization’s ability to recruit and manage volunteers for projects that directly benefit park resources, potential cost-sharing capacity where relevant, and staff technical expertise, particularly experience with wildlife monitoring. The notice also emphasizes PRNSA’s long-standing role as a key partner in the restoration and funding of the Giacomini wetlands, and indicates that the proposed follow-up monitoring is a continuation of that established, successful collaboration.
From a funding and administration standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally implies active involvement and collaboration between NPS and the partner during project implementation (as opposed to a more hands-off grant). The activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA program is 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship). The estimated total funding amount listed is $150,000, with an expectation of one award. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which in many archived notices is a posting artifact rather than a statement that no funds will be awarded, especially given the separate estimated total funding figure.
Key dates in the announcement indicate it was posted and created on September 14, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 18, 2013, and an archive date of September 20, 2013. Because this is not an open competition, those dates function more as the notice period for the intended award rather than an application deadline for interested organizations.
