Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Vegetation monitoring within the habitat of Cape Sable seaside sparrow in the southern Everglades" is a National Park Service funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on natural resource monitoring in the southern Everglades. The core purpose of the project is to monitor vegetation conditions within the habitat used by the Cape Sable seaside sparrow, a bird closely associated with specific Everglades marsh vegetation patterns. The work is framed as a vegetation-monitoring effort that supports resource managers by tracking habitat conditions that influence where the sparrow can live and successfully breed.
This announcement is not an open competition and is not seeking proposals from the public. It is a formal notice of intent to award a task agreement under an existing, previously competed cooperative agreement. In other words, the National Park Service is using an established partnership mechanism rather than running a new application process. Applications are explicitly not accepted because the recipient has already been identified through the cooperative framework.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the project compared with a standard grant. The task agreement is being issued under the South Florida Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Master Cooperative Agreement number P16AC00032, and the intended recipient is Florida International University. While the eligible applicant categories listed include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, that eligibility language is largely informational here because the award is being directed through the existing CESU agreement rather than competed.
Administratively, this opportunity is labeled as discretionary and falls under the Natural Resources activity category. It is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which aligns with National Park Service assistance and resource-related programs. The funding opportunity number is P16AS00425. The posting was created on August 2, 2016, with an original closing date of August 12, 2016, but that "closing date" functions more as the end of the public notice period than a deadline for submissions, since no applications are being accepted.
In terms of scale, the award ceiling is listed as $100,000, and the expected number of awards is one. That matches the intent to fund a single, specific task agreement with Florida International University. Overall, the announcement serves mainly to document transparency and public notification: the National Park Service is signaling that it plans to fund a defined vegetation-monitoring project supporting Cape Sable seaside sparrow habitat management in the southern Everglades through an existing cooperative agreement partnership rather than through a new competitive solicitation.
