Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0150
The funding opportunity titled "Evaluation of Dune and Beach Restoration and Resilience at Selected Sites in the Mid-Atlantic Region" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 17 NERO 0150) is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is categorized under environmental activities and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which generally covers NPS assistance programs. The opportunity was created on August 22, 2017, and lists an original closing date of August 31, 2017, with an anticipated single award and a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $650,293.
Despite looking like a typical grant notice, the key point is that it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service intended to make an award through a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement. In practice, this means the main competitive selection process had already occurred earlier (or a single-source justification had been approved), and the NPS was moving forward with issuing a specific task agreement for this project under that pre-established arrangement. Because of that structure, the notice does not function as an open call where new applicants can submit proposals in response.
The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. Cooperative agreements are used when the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the project, such as collaborating on project design, technical approach, data collection methods, analysis, or reporting requirements. Given the title and environmental category, the supported work would center on evaluating how well dune and beach restoration efforts perform and how resilient those restored features are at selected Mid-Atlantic sites, which commonly relates to shoreline protection, storm impacts, erosion dynamics, habitat considerations, and longer-term coastal change. While the notice does not include a detailed scope of work in the provided text, the framing suggests an applied assessment intended to inform coastal management decisions and restoration practices in or near NPS-managed areas.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note that additional clarification would be in a separate eligibility text field. In many NPS cooperative agreement contexts, that category can include universities, nonprofit research organizations, partner institutions, or other entities that already hold (or are named under) the relevant master cooperative agreement. The expectation of only one award further reinforces that this was intended for a specific partner under an existing agreement rather than for a broad pool of prospective applicants.
Overall, this notice is best understood as an administrative transparency step: it alerts the public that NPS planned to fund a single cooperative task agreement, up to $650,293, for work evaluating dune and beach restoration and resilience in the Mid-Atlantic, but it does not invite or accept new applications because the award pathway had already been established through prior competition or an approved single-source process.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0150
