Opportunity Summary:

The Department of the Interior, National Park Service is issuing a Notice of Intent for a discretionary cooperative agreement action titled "Expanding Explore Natural Communities Outreach to include other NCR Parks" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00330). The purpose of this effort is to sustain and support the study of natural communities by expanding outreach for an existing online field guide called "Explore Natural Communities."

The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, such as collaborating on goals, content, deliverables, review, or implementation steps, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement.
