Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Habitat restoration" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIGRCA10819), was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement. It falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is connected to CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. The project focus is Grand Canyon National Park, specifically supporting habitat restoration work on the North Rim while also strengthening public-facing education efforts related to habitat restoration and plant conservation. In practical terms, the work described is meant to combine on-the-ground vegetation or habitat improvement activities with direct visitor education, so that restoration efforts are paired with outreach that helps the public understand why the work is being done and how plant conservation supports park resources.
The notice indicates an expected single award with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. No formal award ceiling or floor was listed (both shown as $0), which typically suggests the financial details may have been handled through the associated cooperative agreement framework or were not expressed as fixed limits in the summary record. Cost sharing or matching was required, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind support) as part of the overall project budget. The posting timeline was extremely short: it was posted on August 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 19, 2011, and then archived on August 20, 2011. That kind of one-day window is often consistent with an action that is largely administrative in nature rather than a broad, competitive solicitation.
Eligibility is described as "Others" with additional clarification provided in the eligibility notes. The listing states that it was for informational purposes only and serves as a Notice of Intent to award a task agreement to The Student Conservation Association under an existing cooperative agreement, specifically to support vegetation management and monitoring activities in Grand Canyon National Park. In other words, the opportunity was not presented as an open competition to the general public; it was documenting the agency's intention to place a task agreement with a specific partner organization already operating under a cooperative agreement with the park.
