Opportunity Summary:
The Hughes Subsistence Harvest Survey opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00049) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice stating the agency's intent to make a specific award. It is a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement mechanism, and it falls under the natural resources activity category. The notice is not a solicitation and does not invite applications; instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS plans to fund identified project work through a pre-existing partnership arrangement.
The NPS indicates it intends to fund project activities under Task Agreement P15AC00198, issued under Cooperative Agreement H8W07110001, with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). ADF&G is identified as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, which is a cooperative research framework often used by federal agencies to carry out science, monitoring, and related technical work with established partners. Because the award is being made "without full and open competition," the core purpose of posting the notice is transparency: it informs the public that NPS plans to direct the work to this specific partner rather than running an open competitive grant process.
The project itself is titled "Hughes Subsistence Harvest Survey," and, based on the title and the NPS natural resources context, it is intended to support the collection and analysis of information on subsistence harvest activities associated with the Hughes area in Alaska. Subsistence harvest surveys typically document what resources are harvested, in what quantities, and by whom, and they are commonly used to inform land and wildlife management decisions, evaluate trends over time, and support compliance with subsistence-related statutory and policy responsibilities that apply in Alaska. The notice does not provide a detailed scope of work in the text shown, but it clearly ties the effort to cooperative research/training and National Park System resource management purposes.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $97,077. No cost sharing or matching is required. The posting shows an expected number of awards of one, reflecting that the funding is intended for a single recipient (a state government entity, ADF&G). The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0 in the dataset, which is a common artifact in notices of intent where the detailed budget is handled in internal or referenced agreement documents rather than as a competed announcement with explicit minimums and maximums.
Key administrative details include the posting date and creation date of February 20, 2015, and an archive date of March 2, 2015. Both the original and current closing dates are listed as "This is not a request for applications," reinforcing that there is no application window because the NPS is not seeking proposals. The CFDA listing includes 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with the type of collaborative research and resource-oriented work implied by the project and the cooperative agreement structure.
For additional details, the notice references Grants.gov for the full announcement record and provides a point of contact for access issues: William Nash, Contract Specialist, reachable at 415-623-2262 or WilliamNash@nps.gov.
