Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Invasive Species Control and Native Community Restoration" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS8548110004) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice focused on natural resource work in the Santa Monica Mountains, specifically targeting coastal streams and watershed health. The stated purpose is to support on-the-ground projects that improve, restore, and protect these ecosystems by controlling invasive species and restoring native plant and biological communities. Alongside the ecological work, the project is designed to connect restoration activities with public education and relationship-building efforts, with an emphasis on engaging youth as well as the broader community.
This notice is not an open solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that the NPS intends to make a single, non-competitive award under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8548100021) by issuing a task agreement for the work described. The announcement indicates that the award will be made without full and open competition as a single-source action to the Mountains Restoration Trust. As a result, typical competitive application elements such as broad eligibility, proposal submission, and merit review are not part of this particular posting.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the funded activities compared to a standard grant. The opportunity lists one expected award with total estimated funding of $54,000, and both the award floor and award ceiling are also set at $54,000, indicating a fixed award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted. The opportunity was posted on December 1, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 15, 2010, and it was archived on January 14, 2011.
