Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00503
The grant opportunity titled "Utilize Fishery-Dependent and Fishery-Independent Data to Improve Understanding of Biscayne National Park Marine Resources" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice released by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It falls under the discretionary funding category and would be carried out through a cooperative agreement, with the work focused on natural resources. The core intent of the project, as reflected in the title, is to strengthen understanding of marine resources in Biscayne National Park by bringing together two major streams of information: fishery-dependent data (information tied to fishing activity, such as catch reports, landings, effort, and related observations) and fishery-independent data (information collected through scientific monitoring that does not rely on fishing activity, such as surveys, sampling programs, and standardized observational methods). In practical terms, projects like this typically aim to integrate and analyze these complementary datasets to produce a clearer picture of species status, habitat conditions, trends over time, and potential management needs within the park.
This announcement is explicitly not an open call for proposals. No applications will be accepted under this notice. Instead, it functions as a public notice that NPS intends to fund the work as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement. In other words, the agency is signaling that the project will be awarded through a pre-established partnership mechanism rather than through a competitive application process. The notice directs readers to a related document referenced as "NOI P18AS00503" for the full project description, which is where the detailed scope, tasks, and technical approach would be spelled out.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00503 and was created on August 7, 2018. The expected number of awards is one, and the listed award ceiling is $220,000, indicating the project budget is anticipated to be up to that amount. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance programs. Eligibility is not presented as a typical open list of applicant categories; it is labeled "Others," with clarification normally provided in an additional eligibility text field, consistent with the fact that this is not a competitive solicitation and is tied to an existing cooperative agreement.
Overall, the notice serves mainly as an administrative transparency step: it tells the public that NPS plans to fund a single, specific marine resource data project in Biscayne National Park, using a cooperative agreement framework already in place, and it provides the key identifiers, funding cap, and reference to the more detailed notice of intent document for anyone needing the full technical and programmatic context.Apply for P18AS00503
