Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent titled "Guadalupe Mountains National Park Trail Rehabilitation" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00275) is a National Park Service funding opportunity under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on natural resource stewardship work in Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The project is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which generally means the selected partner would work closely with the National Park Service in planning and carrying out the project activities rather than operating completely independently.
The core purpose is twofold: to rehabilitate park trails and campgrounds and to use that hands-on work as an educational and stewardship experience for youth and young adults. The opportunity is designed to give participants practical exposure to the park's natural and wilderness resources while they complete real, on-the-ground improvements. Through trail and campground rehabilitation, participants are expected to build a stronger understanding of park resources and conservation needs, gain transferable job skills (such as trail maintenance techniques, outdoor safety practices, teamwork, and project execution), and experience wilderness conditions in a structured, service-oriented setting. At the same time, the work aims to reduce resource degradation caused by wear, erosion, or heavy use, and to improve visitor safety and enjoyment by ensuring facilities and routes are in better condition.
The program falls under CFDA 15.931 and is categorized in the Natural Resources funding activity area. The total anticipated funding is up to $154,077 (the listed award ceiling), with the expectation of one award being made. This indicates a single partner organization would likely be selected to deliver the project at the scale proposed, rather than splitting the work among multiple recipients.
Eligibility is limited to specific applicant types, including nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education) and other eligible entities as referenced in the opportunity's additional eligibility information. The announcement was created on June 21, 2016, with an original closing date of June 30, 2016, reflecting a short application window typical of certain project-specific or time-sensitive cooperative agreements. Overall, the opportunity is positioned as a targeted investment in both conservation outcomes (rehabilitated trails and campgrounds, less environmental damage, safer recreation) and workforce or youth development outcomes (training, stewardship values, and practical experience in a national park setting).
