Opportunity Summary:

The "Southeast Coast Network Climate Science Support Center" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00605) is a Department of the Interior, National Park Service financial assistance action focused on building science and climate support capacity for natural resource management in the U.S. Southeast. The core purpose is to establish an integrated, university-based science support center at the University of Georgia that will serve two connected partnerships: the Southeast Coast Inventory and Monitoring Network and the South Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative. In practical terms, the project is meant to strengthen how climate and other scientific information is developed, coordinated, and delivered to support decision-making across parks and partner landscapes in the region.

This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction. The activity area is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting that the emphasis is on applied science support, data synthesis, and related research functions that directly help resource managers plan for and respond to climate-driven and other environmental changes. The relevant CFDA number listed is 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance programming.

Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the intent to place the center within a university setting. The notice specifically identifies the University of Georgia as the host institution for establishing the integrated science support center, which signals that the National Park Service has a defined partner and location for this effort.

The funding details indicate a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $91,435. The posting date is September 6, 2016. Importantly, this is not an open, competitive solicitation. The announcement is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award and states it is not a request for applications; instead, it serves as public notice that the National Park Service intends to fund this project without full and open competition. As a result, there is no traditional application deadline for outside applicants, because the agency is not seeking proposals through a competitive process.

Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted, noncompetitive cooperative agreement to stand up or support a dedicated climate and science support capability at a university, designed to help the Southeast Coast Inventory and Monitoring Network and the South Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative coordinate monitoring, synthesize science, and translate climate-related information into usable guidance for management across the Southeast coastal region.
