Opportunity Summary:
The Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps and Career Institute FY 2016 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00112) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work and workforce development. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in planning, coordination, or oversight as the project is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The program is listed under CFDA 15.931 and was posted and created on April 18, 2016.
The core purpose of the FY 2016 project is to engage Native American young people across twelve different Native American communities in hands-on, meaningful service projects taking place on National Park Service units. Beyond completing on-the-ground conservation or stewardship work, the initiative is designed to build durable partnerships between participating Native communities and the National Park Service. A major emphasis is long-term capacity building, meaning the project is intended to strengthen relationships, develop shared resources, and establish the foundation for future service and conservation efforts that can continue after this specific funding period.
From an applicant and competition standpoint, this notice is not an open solicitation. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent only, explaining that the task agreement is being issued under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC00024) that had already been awarded through a competitive process. As a result, no new applications were being accepted, and the listed closing date language reiterates that point. In practical terms, this posting functions more as a public record of the agency's intent to fund a specific project under an already-competed umbrella agreement rather than an opportunity where new organizations can apply.
Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $530,000 with an expectation of one award, aligning with the idea that a single task agreement or project award was anticipated under the existing cooperative framework. Eligible applicants are identified as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), though in this case eligibility details are largely informational since the award path is already determined by the previously competed cooperative agreement.
