Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00503
The "Visualizing Sea Level Rise" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00503) is a National Park Service project under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on helping parks better understand and communicate how future sea level rise could affect coastal park units. The core idea is to move beyond broad, abstract projections and instead produce clear, site-specific visual tools that show what different flooding scenarios could mean for real places and assets inside park boundaries. By making the risks more concrete and easier to see, the project is meant to support practical decision-making that reduces damage and disruption to both natural resources (like habitats and shorelines) and cultural resources (like historic structures or archeological areas). It is also intended to be useful beyond the National Park System by giving owners and managers of similarly low-lying coastal landscapes a model for how to evaluate and present sea level rise impacts. A separate goal is public-facing communication: demonstrating the value of these visualization tools so the general public can better grasp the stakes and the need for adaptation planning.
The project’s objectives center on building highly accurate three-dimensional representations of vulnerable coastal park areas and then using those representations to simulate the effects of sea level rise. First, the work includes conducting 3D laser scanning of coastal park units to collect precise elevation and surface data. Second, those scan results are to be integrated with existing topographic GIS models and paired with multiple sea level rise scenarios so that flooding estimates can be translated into 3D visualizations tied to specific places. Third, the project calls for using these outputs to propose best practices for managing impacts to park units. The emphasis here is on producing visualizations accurate enough to turn a generalized climate threat into quickly understandable, location-specific information, such as how inundation could affect roads, visitor centers, and other infrastructure, as well as cultural sites, natural features, and recreational areas within a park.
Administratively, this is listed as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, categorized under natural resources (CFDA 15.945). The eligible applicants are public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, reflecting the technical and research-heavy nature of lidar scanning, geospatial modeling, and visualization development. The anticipated funding ceiling is $198,075 with one expected award. However, the notice makes clear that this posting is a Notice of Intent only and not an open solicitation: the task is being issued under an existing cooperative agreement (P17AC01482) that was previously competed, and no new applications are being accepted. The opportunity was created on August 13, 2019, and does not have a standard closing date because it is not currently open for competition.Apply for P19AS00503
