Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Submerged Marine Habitat Mapping" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00064) is a discretionary, environment-focused cooperative agreement intended to support a targeted scientific resurvey of the nearshore zone at Assateague Island National Seashore. The core purpose of the project is to document and analyze how Superstorm Sandy altered the submerged coastal environment, with particular attention to changes in bottom sediments, benthic fauna (organisms living on or in the seafloor), and fish habitat. In practical terms, the work is meant to compare post-storm conditions to prior baseline information so the park can better understand storm-driven impacts on nearshore ecosystems and habitat structure.
This notice is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open call for proposals. It is not a request for applications and was posted to provide public notice that NPS intended to fund the project without full and open competition, naming the University of Delaware as the intended recipient. Although the listing identifies eligible applicants broadly as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the stated intent is a sole-source style award to that partner institution for these specific project activities.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on April 7, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 17, 2014, reflecting the window for the public notice rather than a competitive application period. The listing indicates an expectation of a single award. It also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The published funding fields show an estimated total funding amount of $0 and award ceiling/floor of $0, which typically signals that the announcement is being used primarily as a public notice mechanism and that final funding details may be handled through internal agreements or documented elsewhere rather than in the public synopsis.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, covering Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. For additional details, the grants.gov listing provides an information link, and the NPS contact listed for access issues is Rita Mihalik (301-663-1481 ext. 225; ritamihalik@nps.gov).
