Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Conservation of Resources at Capulin Volcano National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ7160100004) is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on on-the-ground natural resource conservation work at Capulin Volcano National Monument. The project is structured as a task agreement issued under an existing National Park Service master agreement (H7160090002), which means it is not being competed as an open call for proposals but instead implemented through a pre-established agreement framework.
The core purpose of the project is to support conservation and restoration activities by recruiting and hiring young adults from the local communities surrounding the monument. Those youth participants would carry out invasive or exotic plant removal across the monument and then restore impacted or disturbed areas by seeding them with native seed stock. In practical terms, the work combines immediate resource protection (reducing the spread and impact of non-native plants) with longer-term ecological recovery (reintroducing native vegetation to stabilize soils, improve habitat quality, and help prevent re-infestation). The youth employment element is also a major emphasis, aligning the conservation mission with local workforce development and engagement in public lands stewardship.
Administratively, the notice is explicitly identified as a "notice of intent" for a noncompetitive, single-source award, cited as being issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C). The announcement also states clearly that it is not a request for applications; instead, it designates Service Organization for Youth, Inc. as the intended recipient. As a result, other organizations are not being solicited to apply through this posting, even though it appears in the grants listing system like a typical funding opportunity.
The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," and anticipates a single award. The estimated total funding amount is $56,000. A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," suggesting the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (such as cash, in-kind services, or other allowable match) as part of the overall project budget, although the notice does not provide the specific match ratio or detailed budget structure. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which typically signals that the posting is informational for a specific agreement rather than a competitive range with set minimums and maximums.
Key dates in the posting show it was posted and created on April 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 20, 2010, and an archive date of May 20, 2010. A contact is provided for assistance accessing the full announcement: Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
