Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0106
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service announced a discretionary funding action titled "Assessing the benthic community in a partially restored lagoon" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 19 NERO 0106). The instrument is a cooperative agreement, and it sits under the funding activity category listed as "Other" (with additional clarification referenced in the original posting). The associated CFDA number is 15.945, and the notice was created on August 13, 2019, with an original closing date of August 21, 2019.
Despite being formatted like a grant opportunity notice, this posting is explicitly not a request for applications and should not be read as an open competition. The National Park Service states repeatedly that the purpose of the notice is only to announce the continuation of an agreement that is already in place with Antioch University New England. In other words, the agency is not soliciting new proposals, and there is no practical application pathway for outside organizations through this announcement.
In terms of funding scope, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $95,644 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), consistent with a continuation action for an existing partner rather than a new, competitive grant round. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," but because the action is a continuation with a named institution, that eligibility label does not function as an invitation for new applicants here.
Programmatically, the project focus is on assessing the benthic community in a partially restored lagoon. "Benthic community" refers to organisms living on, in, or near the bottom of a water body, such as invertebrates, worms, mollusks, crustaceans, and other bottom-associated fauna that are often used as indicators of ecological condition. In a restoration context, monitoring benthic communities can help evaluate whether habitat conditions are improving, whether food webs are reestablishing, and whether sediment and water quality changes are supporting a more functional ecosystem. The announcement itself, however, does not provide additional technical details about methods, specific study sites, deliverables, or timelines beyond the continuation statement.
Overall, this notice functions as an administrative public posting: it documents the National Park Service's intent to continue an existing cooperative agreement with Antioch University NE for work related to benthic assessment in a partially restored lagoon, with up to $95,644 in funding and no open call for new applications.Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0106
