Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Conservation of Channel Islands National Park Botanic Resources" is a discretionary funding action from the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), focused on natural resources work connected to the botanical resources of Channel Islands National Park. It is issued under Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00564 and is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) Number 15.944, which is commonly used for NPS assistance activities related to natural and cultural resource stewardship. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the project is structured as a partnership in which NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation.
This notice is explicitly a "Notice of Intent to Award" and not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means there is no open competition and no application process for other organizations to pursue under this posting. Instead, the purpose of the announcement is public transparency: NPS is informing the public that it plans to fund a specific set of project activities through an existing or planned cooperative agreement, identified as Cooperative Agreement P16AC01585, with the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. The notice also states that the award will be made "without full and open competition," which is federal language indicating that the agency is not soliciting multiple bids or proposals for this particular scope of work and partner.
The intended recipient type listed for eligibility is nonprofits with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the named partner, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, a nonprofit organization with strong botanical and conservation expertise. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that this posting is tied to one specific cooperative agreement arrangement rather than a broader grant program with multiple recipients.
In terms of scale and funding, the notice lists an award ceiling of $750,000, indicating the maximum amount anticipated for this project under the cooperative agreement framework described in the posting. The opportunity was created on August 26, 2016, and it does not include a traditional closing date because, again, it is not open for applications. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an official public notice that NPS intends to partner with the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden on conservation work supporting the botanical resources of Channel Islands National Park, using a cooperative agreement mechanism and a funding level up to the stated ceiling.
