Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) Hurricane Sandy-related funding action titled "Restoration of Jamaica Bay fringing habitats post Sandy status and new approaches for a resilient future - Hurricane Sandy Project" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0152). The key point is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open grant competition. In other words, NPS published it to formally inform the public that it plans to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition, and it is not asking outside parties to submit applications.
The project focus is Jamaica Bay and, specifically, the bay's fringing habitats, which are the shoreline-edge habitat areas that can include salt marshes and other coastal features that help buffer storm surge, reduce erosion, and support wildlife. The title indicates two related goals: first, assessing or addressing the post-Hurricane Sandy condition ("post Sandy status") of these habitats, and second, developing or applying "new approaches" aimed at improving long-term resilience. Taken together, the intent is restoration and forward-looking adaptation so the area is better able to withstand future coastal storms and related impacts.
The planned funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by NPS in the project beyond simply providing funds. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The activity category is tied directly to Hurricane Sandy, reflecting that this work is part of the federal disaster recovery and resilience efforts following the storm.
The notice indicates there is expected to be one award, with a total estimated funding amount of $482,920. The award ceiling and floor are both $482,920, which signals that NPS anticipated a single, fixed-size award for the identified recipient or project scope rather than a range of possible award amounts. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this award.
Although the listing contains an "Eligible Applicants" field, it essentially reiterates the central message: this is not a request for applications. The dates shown (posted September 16, 2014; closing September 21, 2014; archived September 22, 2014) function more as administrative timestamps for the public notice period rather than a window in which proposals would be accepted.
