Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOI 19 1125
This grant notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open funding competition and is not requesting new applications from the public. Instead, it serves as a formal public announcement that NPS plans to make a single-source cooperative agreement award for a specific project at Canaveral National Seashore. The opportunity is titled "CESU--Protect historic sites in Canaveral National Seashore by planting vegetation and creating artificial oyster reef along shoreline" and appears under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI 19 1125. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on planning, implementation, technical decisions, monitoring, reporting, or other shared responsibilities.
The purpose of the project is coastal stabilization focused on protecting significant historic sites located along vulnerable shorelines within Canaveral National Seashore. The notice explains that these historic resources have already experienced damage from major coastal stressors, including hurricanes and other storms, sea level rise, and persistent boat wakes. The proposed approach to reducing future damage is based on nature-based or living shoreline techniques, specifically the restoration of native vegetation and the creation or installation of artificial oyster reef structures along the shoreline. In practical terms, planting appropriate native coastal plants can help bind sediments, reduce erosion, and buffer wave energy, while oyster reefs can act as a natural breakwater that dampens wave forces, supports shoreline accretion, and provides ecological benefits like habitat complexity and improved water quality through oyster filtration.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and listed under the Natural Resources activity area, with CFDA number 15.946. Although the notice includes an "OriginalClosingDate" of 2019-08-21, that date functions more like an administrative timeline marker for the notice rather than a deadline for applicants, since the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications. The "Eligible Applicants" field is listed as "Others," but the description clarifies that the intended recipient is the University of Central Florida, selected through the NPS single-source selection process. The announcement also references CESU, which commonly refers to the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units network, a partnership framework used by federal agencies and universities to collaborate on research, technical assistance, and resource management projects.
The funding amount indicated by the award ceiling is $241,010, and the expected number of awards is shown without a specific quantity in the provided fields, though the narrative makes it clear that NPS intends a single award to the University of Central Florida. The notice was created on 2019-08-12. For anyone seeking deeper specifics such as the exact shoreline segments targeted, the design specifications for the artificial reef, planting plans, monitoring metrics, reporting requirements, period of performance, budget breakdown, or roles and responsibilities between NPS and the university, the notice directs readers to consult the attached full announcement, which would contain the detailed scope of work and agreement terms.Apply for NPS NOI 19 1125
