Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOI 17 CESU 30558
The grant opportunity titled "Paleoecology and Paleoclimate at the Turner River Mound Complex" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is presented as a Notice of Intent (NOI), meaning the agency is announcing its plan to make an award rather than running an open, competitive solicitation. The award is expected to be made as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project (for example, coordination on research direction, access to park resources, data standards, and integration with NPS management needs).
This NOI is tied to the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, specifically the Piedmont - South Atlantic Coast CESU, under the master cooperative agreement number P13AC00443. The notice cites the Department of the Interior policy framework at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the basis for proceeding with a non-competitive task agreement. In practical terms, the structure implies the work is being issued as a task under an existing umbrella partnership mechanism designed to streamline collaboration between federal land-management agencies and research institutions.
The core purpose of the project is to continue an ongoing collaboration with the University of Georgia to analyze the zooarchaeological record from the Turner River Mound Complex in Everglades National Park. Zooarchaeology focuses on animal remains recovered from archaeological contexts (such as bone, shell, and other faunal materials). By examining what species are present, how abundant they are, how they were processed or deposited, and how those patterns change through time, researchers can infer past environmental conditions as well as aspects of human use of the landscape. Here, that zooarchaeological evidence is explicitly being used to reconstruct both paleoecology and paleoclimate for the Ten Thousand Islands region, an ecologically complex coastal zone of southwest Florida where long-term environmental history is directly relevant to understanding coastal change.
From a research and management perspective, the work supports a deeper reconstruction of historical ecosystem conditions in and around Everglades National Park. Reconstructing paleoecology can help clarify how habitats and animal communities responded to past shifts in salinity, sea level, storm frequency, hydrology, and other drivers. Reconstructing paleoclimate provides the broader environmental context that can explain those ecological changes. Together, these reconstructions can improve scientific interpretation of the Turner River Mound Complex and also provide baseline information that may be useful for understanding long-term variability and change in coastal Everglades systems.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding within the environment activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.945. The funding opportunity number is listed as "NPS NOI 17 CESU 30558." The posting indicates the creation date was August 1, 2017, with an original closing date of August 10, 2017. Only one award was expected. The listed award ceiling is "0," which often appears in notices where the exact funding amount is not stated in the summary record or is provided in an attached full announcement rather than in the brief listing.
Eligibility is not presented as broadly open competition; instead, it is described as "Others" with clarification referenced in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" field, consistent with the NOI and non-competitive CESU task agreement approach. The notice also indicates that more specific requirements, deliverables, timelines, and administrative details would be contained in the full announcement attachment.Apply for NPS NOI 17 CESU 30558
