S Curves Beach Nourishment Monitoring at Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "S Curves Beach Nourishment Monitoring at Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00342) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning it is not a competitive funding opportunity and there is no full public solicitation or application package associated with it. In practical terms, the agency is signaling that it has already identified the recipient it intends to fund, and the public notice is being posted to document that decision rather than to invite proposals.

The purpose of the award is to support monitoring of environmental impacts related to a beach nourishment project along about 2.5 miles of shoreline within Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, specifically in a stretch locally referred to as the "S Curves." Beach nourishment projects typically involve placing sand to widen or rebuild eroded beaches, and monitoring is used to track how that work affects shoreline conditions and coastal resources over time. The notice also states that the North Carolina Department of Transportation jointly planned the nourishment project with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which indicates the nourishment effort is part of a broader interagency coastal management and infrastructure-related effort in that area.

This funding is being offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally implies that the Fish and Wildlife Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance (as opposed to a more hands-off relationship typical of a standard grant). The activity categories associated with the notice include education, environment, and science and technology/research and development, aligning with monitoring and data collection work that would inform management decisions at the refuge and potentially guide future coastal restoration or maintenance actions.

Only one award was anticipated, with an estimated total funding amount of $156,431. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor, which in this context mainly reflects that the agency is not running an open competition with a range of award sizes. The CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number tied to the opportunity is 15.650, described as "Research Grants (Generic)," which is consistent with monitoring and applied research activities supporting resource management.

Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted," but that is effectively overridden by the core statement in the notice: it is not a request for applications. The agency explicitly notes that the determination not to compete the award is based on departmental policy (cited as 505 DM 2.14,B.(2)) and is within the agency's discretion. The posting date and creation date are both July 13, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 21, 2015, and an archive date of July 22, 2015, reflecting a short public notice window typical for single-source intent postings rather than a normal competitive grant timeline.

For administrative questions or difficulty accessing related materials through Grant.gov, the point of contact listed is Kerri Heywood, Grant Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 404-679-4066 or by email at kerriheywood@fws.gov. The additional information link points to Grant.gov, but the notice makes clear there is no full announcement associated with this posting, reinforcing that the intent is informational and procedural rather than an invitation to apply.
