Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) project supported by the Recovery Act (ARRA) focused on invasive plant management across seven Alaska national park units: Denali, Glacier Bay, Kenai Fjords, Klondike Gold Rush, Sitka, Wrangell-St. Elias, and Katmai. The core purpose is to put youth corps crews side by side with NPS park staff to carry out invasive plant work while also building a workforce pipeline by giving corps members practical, field-based experience in natural resource management.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The opportunity is presented as a Notice of Intent to Award, indicating the agency already plans to make a single award under an existing cooperative agreement with the Southeast Alaska Guidance Association (SAGA), incorporating all required ARRA terms and conditions. In other words, this is not a broadly competed grant where multiple applicants submit proposals for selection; it is essentially an administrative step to fund a specific partner that the NPS has determined is well-suited to deliver the project.
The project approach centers on youth corps personnel providing on-the-ground capacity for invasive plant management, supported and guided by NPS resource management professionals in the parks. The announcement highlights that the Southeast Alaska Guidance Association/Youth Corps offers participants the opportunity to learn directly from professionals and gain tangible technical skills and work experience. The rationale provided is that SAGA has the technical capability and the capacity to supply interns or corps members in a way that fits the needs of this field project, which often requires seasonal staffing, logistical coordination, and people who can work in remote and challenging environments typical of Alaska parks.
Financially, the total funding amount is fixed: the award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $214,165, and the expected number of awards is one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute additional funds to receive the full award amount. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with the youth corps conservation and stewardship emphasis described in the notice.
Eligibility is limited to Public Land Corps or Youth Corps organizations. While the Eligible Applicants field is broadly labeled "Others," the detailed eligibility clarification makes clear that only organizations fitting the youth corps/Public Land Corps category are intended to be eligible for this type of work. Given the Notice of Intent to Award language and the reference to an existing cooperative agreement with SAGA, the practical implication is that the NPS had already identified the implementing partner for this specific project.
The timeline in the listing reflects a short window typical of non-competitive or intent-to-award postings. The opportunity was posted on August 24, 2009, created on September 3, 2009, and carried an original and current closing date of September 4, 2009, with an archive date of October 4, 2009. These dates reinforce that the listing functions more as a formal public notice tied to Recovery Act reporting and grants management requirements than as an open solicitation.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the contact listed is Joy Kucinski, Supervisory Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 907-644-3301 (with an NPS intranet reference).
