Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0077
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) issued a public notice for a continuation of an existing cooperative agreement project titled "Water quality analysis of estuarine and freshwater samples" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 18 NERO 0077). This notice is not a request for applications and is not an open competition; instead, it informs the public that NPS plans to continue work with CCS under a discretionary cooperative agreement. The expected number of awards is one, with an anticipated funding ceiling of $37,000. The original posting date was July 9, 2018, with an original closing date of July 19, 2018, reflecting the notice period rather than an application window.
The work focuses on water quality and nutrient analysis for samples collected from the Herring River and nearby waters in Wellfleet Harbor, supporting scientific understanding of estuarine and freshwater conditions. A key purpose of the continued collaboration is to combine and interpret nutrient datasets from multiple sources to improve both spatial coverage (more locations) and temporal coverage (more years and sampling events) relative to what Cape Cod National Seashore (CACO) has on its own. CCS brings long-term monitoring value to the effort, since under the direction of Dr. Amy Costa, CCS has been collecting water quality data in Wellfleet Harbor and at one location within the Herring River since 2006. By merging CCS data with CACO sampling and also comparing historical Herring River data collected by CACO with historical surrounding-water data collected by CCS, the partners aim to strengthen trend analysis and context for conditions in and around the Herring River system.
Under the continuation described in the notice, CCS will provide specialized technical leadership and laboratory capacity. Dr. Amy Costa (CCS) will continue serving as the technical expert, collaborating across all aspects of the project, including oversight of sample handling, analysis, and how samples are stored prior to delivery to CCS. CCS will also supervise any CACO staff or interns who are assigned to support CCS laboratory operations, and will share lab equipment and supplies as needed to keep the work efficient and cost-effective. On the sample management side, the notice specifies that collected water samples will be maintained either frozen or refrigerated until analysis, with analysis occurring within 120 days of collection in accordance with established protocols, which is important for protecting data quality and minimizing changes in nutrient concentrations over time.
The collaboration is also described as a joint scientific interpretation effort between Dr. Costa (CCS) and Dr. Sophia Fox (CACO). Together, they will share, interpret, and analyze nutrient results from the Herring River and the surrounding Wellfleet Harbor waters, integrating both current and historical datasets. Beyond the technical lab tasks, the notice emphasizes the operational expectation of clear, ongoing communication between partners about progress, any issues encountered, and any needed changes to procedures. Eligibility information is included as part of the public notice record, listing eligible applicants as 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education, and the CFDA listing is 15.945, though the notice explicitly indicates the continuation will occur with CCS rather than soliciting new applicants.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0077
