Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Restoration Work with NPS Southwest Exotic Plant Management Team" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00164) is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to be actively involved with the recipient during the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The work falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.954.
The purpose of the funding is to support on-the-ground restoration projects led or supported by the National Park Service Southwest Exotic Plant Management Team (SW EPMT). The projects are focused on the Navajo Nation and nearby lands, with most activities expected to occur in Northern Arizona, while also allowing for project work in other parts of New Mexico and the broader Southwest. The emphasis is practical ecological restoration tied to invasive or exotic plant issues and the recovery of native plant communities and habitat conditions.
A central element of the opportunity is workforce and community engagement. The SW EPMT specifically wants to create hands-on opportunities for Native tribes, youth, and volunteers to participate directly in restoration and invasive plant management efforts. The types of activities mentioned include seed collection (likely for native species used in restoration), exotic plant management (such as controlling or removing non-native invasive plants), constructing erosion control structures (to stabilize soils and reduce sediment loss), plant propagation (growing plants for later outplanting), and implementing seeding and planting work at National Park Service units and adjacent sites.
The maximum award amount listed is $100,000, and the notice anticipates making one award. The opportunity was created and posted on May 23, 2016, with an application closing date of June 23, 2016. Eligible applicants are broad and include state, county, and local governments; special districts; independent school districts; public and state-controlled colleges and universities; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; other tribal organizations; and nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education). This wide eligibility suggests the NPS was open to partnering with many different kinds of organizations capable of carrying out field restoration work and coordinating participant engagement.
Overall, this funding opportunity is designed to support collaborative restoration projects that address invasive/exotic plant impacts while building local capacity and participation, especially among tribal communities and young people, across NPS-related landscapes in the Navajo Nation region and surrounding areas.
