Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOIP18AC00278
The Cooperative Agreement for Coastal Management in Great Lakes National Parks (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP18AC00278) is a National Park Service award designed to strengthen hands-on, shared stewardship of Great Lakes coastal resources by bringing together the National Park Service (NPS), the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), partners, local communities, and park visitors. The central idea is to make sure NPS and MDNR are coordinating closely and taking full advantage of each agency's strengths to address shoreline and nearshore management challenges affecting national park units in the Great Lakes region. The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the project’s implementation rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant.
A major emphasis of the agreement is practical, science-based coastal management that can adapt as conditions change. The project is intended to support innovative monitoring and adaptive management work at Good Harbor Reef, with results shared broadly with Great Lakes scientists and resource managers so the lessons learned can inform decision-making beyond a single site. Early project efforts are specifically aimed at understanding Lake Michigan ecosystem changes and species invasions, with a particular focus on Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and, within that, better defining fish habitat requirements and how fish are using Good Harbor Reef. In other words, the monitoring is not only about collecting data, but about building the kind of evidence needed to adjust management actions as new threats or ecological shifts emerge.
Public engagement and education are also built into the project rather than treated as an add-on. The agreement explicitly calls for improving public understanding of Great Lakes coastal waters and the national parks connected to them, and it ties project work to a broader NPS monitoring and outreach effort focused on coastal waters. Communication of activities and findings is expected to be active and ongoing, using traditional on-site interpretive programs as well as distance learning opportunities and social media outreach delivered by NPS staff and local outreach partners. This reflects the goal of connecting visitors and communities to the science and the stewardship choices being made, helping people see how coastal monitoring and management relate to the health of the lakes and to the visitor experience.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under CFDA 15.944. It was posted June 12, 2018, with an original closing date of June 22, 2018. The award ceiling was $625,000, and NPS anticipated making one award. The eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice, which signals that the intended recipient may be a specific partner entity or a limited set of qualified applicants rather than an open competition for all organizations. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted collaboration to align state and federal coastal priorities, expand monitoring and adaptive management capacity at a key Lake Michigan reef site, and translate the resulting knowledge into both improved resource management and stronger public understanding.Apply for NPS NOIP18AC00278
