Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, issued a discretionary funding notice titled "Ethnographic Resource Study: Subsistence Fishing on the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers" under Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00726. The assistance mechanism listed is a cooperative agreement, and the work falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945 and shows an award ceiling of $72,000 with one expected award.
This notice is not an open solicitation and is not seeking new proposals. It is explicitly described as a modification to an existing agreement, identified as Agreement P14AC01802. Because it is a Notice of Intent to Award Only, applications are not accepted and there is no competitive application process tied to this posting. In practical terms, the funding appears intended to continue, amend, or extend an already-established project rather than initiate a new, publicly competed award.
The eligibility field lists public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which indicates the type of organization associated with the existing cooperative agreement. The notice was created on September 16, 2016, and instead of a standard closing date it reiterates that it is only a modification to the prior agreement and therefore does not have an application deadline.
Based on the title, the underlying project focus is an ethnographic resource study documenting subsistence fishing practices on the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers. Ethnographic resource studies typically involve systematically gathering and analyzing information about cultural practices and community relationships to a landscape or resource, often through interviews, archival research, and field documentation. In this context, the study would likely support the National Park Service in understanding how people use these river systems for subsistence fishing, how those practices relate to cultural traditions and community needs, and how such information may inform resource management, interpretation, or policy considerations in and around NPS-managed areas connected to these waterways.
