Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "PIPA Volunteers Monitor California Condors" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00376) is a discretionary funding notice issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It is presented specifically as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to give the public formal notice that NPS plans to provide funding for a defined set of project activities through a cooperative agreement mechanism.
This intended award is structured as a task agreement under an existing, previously approved single-source arrangement. The notice states that the project will be funded as Task Agreement P16AC01242 under a broader master Cooperative Agreement P13AC01302. The recipient identified through that pre-established agreement framework is the Pinnacles Partnership, and the project focus is volunteer-based monitoring of California condors, aligning with NPS natural resource stewardship and wildlife conservation priorities.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources, with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.954. The funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant, such as coordinating activities, sharing technical direction, or jointly managing aspects of implementation. The posting lists an award ceiling of $60,000 and indicates that one award is expected, reinforcing that this is a targeted, single-award action rather than a competitive program.
Although the notice includes an eligibility category (nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education), that information functions more as standard grants.gov metadata than a call for new applicants, since the announcement explicitly states there is no application period and no closing date because applications are not being accepted. The creation date for the notice is July 22, 2016, and its central purpose is transparency: documenting NPS intent to fund the Pinnacles Partnership under an existing cooperative agreement vehicle for volunteer monitoring work supporting California condor conservation.
