Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Hazard fuel reduction and invasive plant mitigation" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOISAGU11097), was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the natural resources category. It relates to conservation work at Saguaro National Park, with the central purpose of reducing wildfire hazards while protecting the integrity of native plant communities and safeguarding cultural resources that could be damaged by fire or by ecological degradation tied to invasive species. In practical terms, the project focus combines two closely connected land management priorities: lowering hazardous fuel loads that can intensify wildfires and controlling or mitigating invasive plants that can alter fire behavior, outcompete native vegetation, and disrupt ecosystem function.
The announcement states that it is a Notice of Intent rather than a fully open competitive solicitation. It is explicitly described as being "for informational purposes only" and indicates the agency's intent to make an award to the Student Conservation Association through a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement. The CFDA listing tied to the opportunity is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the work is aligned with conservation efforts that often involve youth or service corps-style organizations supporting on-the-ground stewardship activities.
Financially, the estimated total funding amount listed is $54,345, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date were both July 31, 2012, and the original and current closing date was August 1, 2012, after which the opportunity was archived on August 2, 2012. The listing notes an expected number of awards of one, consistent with the notice of intent to award to a specific organization. Award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which commonly appears in older listings where the precise ceiling/floor structure was not populated in the system even though an estimated total funding amount is provided.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others" in the standard field, but the eligibility clarification makes clear that the intent was to award specifically to the Student Conservation Association under an existing agreement rather than to solicit applications from the general public. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist, National Park Service, at 505-988-6042.
