Opportunity Summary:
The "National Park Service - Invasive Plant removal Youth Work Projects" notice (Funding Opportunity Number P16AC00892) is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open call for applications and not a competitive grant opportunity where new applicants can apply. Instead, the National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, is announcing publicly that it plans to fund a specific task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement (a task award), which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in carrying out the work rather than simply providing funding and stepping back.
The intended recipient is the Montana Conservation Corps, a qualified nonprofit organization, selected in connection with the 21st Century Conservation Corps Program - Youth Engagement and Development. The total anticipated federal funding amount is $25,600, and no cost share or match is required. The anticipated period of performance runs from June 2016 through September 30, 2016, with the agreement ending by September 30, 2016. The listing is associated with CFDA 15.931, titled Youth Conservation Activities, and the funding activity area is natural resources.
The core project purpose is hands-on invasive plant removal in Grand Teton National Park using youth crews deployed by the Montana Conservation Corps. The work is planned for the summer season through the end of September 2016, aligning with the time of year when field crews can access sites and effectively address invasive vegetation. Beyond the direct ecological outcomes of reducing invasive plants, the project is also framed as a youth development and public stewardship effort. It is intended to build conservation and resource stewardship ethics among participating youth while supporting NPS goals for preserving natural and cultural resources.
NPS anticipates "substantial involvement" in the project, which is a key feature of cooperative agreements. In practical terms, that means NPS staff will actively support and guide implementation, assist with project activities, and help engage partners, communities, and/or visitors in shared environmental stewardship. The announcement also emphasizes that information, products, or services developed through the project will be shared using various strategies to increase public awareness and support for historic preservation and stewardship of nationally significant natural and cultural heritage. In other words, the work is meant to have both on-the-ground conservation value and broader educational or outreach value.
The notice explains why the award was not opened to full and open competition. The rationale is that the Montana Conservation Corps is already part of the established 21st Century Conservation Corps framework and holds an existing cooperative agreement (P16AC00892) that allows it to carry out specific task awards like this one. The NPS considered three members of the 21st Century Conservation Corps Program and selected Montana Conservation Corps based on technical qualifications and its long track record of successfully partnering with NPS to conduct conservation and stewardship projects while engaging youth on public lands. The point of contact listed for the award is Tina Holland, Agreement Officer.
