Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Research Techs" (Funding Opportunity Number P11AT80752) was a discretionary National Park Service grant designed to fund a single project focused on conservation education and hands-on workforce development for young adults. The central goal of the task agreement was to support and stimulate paid work experiences and/or structured education and training by placing young adults in collaborative natural resource efforts. Specifically, participants would take part in research, resource inventories, and monitoring activities tied to parks within the Mojave Desert Network. In practical terms, the opportunity emphasized field-based learning and skill-building while advancing the National Park Service's capacity to collect data and track resource conditions across Mojave Desert park units.
The award fell under the Education activity category and aligned with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the program intent was not just research support but also youth engagement and conservation workforce development. The estimated total funding amount listed for the opportunity was $125,994, with an expectation of one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to provide additional funds or in-kind contributions to meet a match threshold, which can lower the barrier for eligible nonprofit organizations to participate.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This points to an intended partnership with youth-service or conservation corps style organizations capable of recruiting, training, supervising, and supporting young adults in field settings. The announcement ultimately indicates that the agreement was awarded to SCA (Student Conservation Association), and both the original and current closing dates reflect that the award had already been made, meaning the opportunity was no longer open for competition as of the posting record.
The opportunity was posted and created on August 10, 2011. For access issues or questions tied to the full announcement, the listed contact was Barbara Eschels, Supervisory Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 702-293-8909.
