Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action titled "The environmental history of Jamaica Bay a foundational monograph (Post Hurricane Sandy study)." It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency notice that NPS intends to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, this indicates the agency has already identified the intended recipient or partner and is documenting that intent in the public record rather than inviting new proposals.
The planned award would be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work (for example, coordinating research direction, reviewing drafts, facilitating access to park resources or data, and aligning deliverables with agency needs). The project sits under the CFDA program number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," and the funding activity category is tied to Hurricane Sandy, reflecting that the work is part of post-storm research, recovery, documentation, or resilience planning efforts.
The funding amount is fixed and relatively small in scope, with an estimated total funding of $47,000 and both the award ceiling and floor set at $47,000, indicating a single, predetermined award size. The announcement anticipates one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The posting date and creation date are both August 6, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 11, 2014, and an archive date of August 12, 2014. In the context of a notice rather than a competition, these dates function more as an administrative posting window than as an application deadline.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but the text makes clear that eligibility details are effectively moot because the notice is not a competitive opportunity. The core purpose is to support work culminating in a foundational monograph on the environmental history of Jamaica Bay, framed as a post-Hurricane Sandy study. A monograph of this kind typically consolidates historical and scientific information into a comprehensive narrative and reference document, potentially covering long-term ecological change, human impacts, land and water use, shoreline alteration, habitat shifts, and how past conditions and management choices shaped vulnerabilities or resilience revealed by the storm. While the notice does not provide a detailed scope of work, the title suggests an emphasis on producing an authoritative baseline history that can inform future restoration, planning, interpretation, and resource management decisions for Jamaica Bay and the surrounding park resources.
For technical or access issues related to the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email referenced (though not fully shown in the text provided).
