Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, published a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Assistance with Vegetation Restoration on Park Islands." The notice makes clear that this is not a request for applications and not an open competition. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS intends to fund specific project activities through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition.
The opportunity is listed on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00312 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The programmatic focus is natural resources work, and it falls under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship. The notice indicates NPS anticipates making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000. The posting does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are listed as $0), which typically means the public synopsis is not providing those bounds even though a specific project amount is expected overall.
The intended recipient is Channel Islands Restoration under Cooperative Agreement P15AC01365. Eligibility in the listing is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), aligning with the named partner organization. The notice also states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award, at least as reflected in the synopsis.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on August 17, 2015, and archived on August 27, 2015. Because this is not a solicitation, the "closing date" fields explicitly state that no application period applies. Anyone looking for the full announcement details is directed to Grants.gov via the additional information link, and the point of contact for access issues is Jason Whitehead at JasonWhitehead@nps.gov.
