Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Restore Cloud Forest on Santa Rosa Island." This notice is strictly a public notification and not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not inviting new proposals or opening a competitive selection process. Instead, it communicates the agency's intention to fund specific project activities through a pre-existing cooperative framework.
The planned award will be made without full and open competition under Task Agreement P115AC01393, which sits under a broader master Cooperative Agreement identified as P15AC00813. The intended recipient is the Mountains Restoration Trust, a nonprofit organization eligible under the listed criteria (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, excluding institutions of higher education). The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordinating technical approaches, participating in planning, or helping oversee implementation.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under the Natural Resources activity area, aligning it with conservation, restoration, and stewardship work. The associated CFDA number is 15.944, labeled "Natural Resource Stewardship," which further frames the project as part of federal efforts to manage and restore natural resources.
Financially, the notice reports an estimated total funding amount of $150,000, with an award ceiling of $150,000 and an award floor of $53,578. Only one award is expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required by the announcement to contribute additional non-federal funds to meet a match threshold. The posting date and creation date are both July 31, 2015, and the archive date is August 10, 2015, reflecting that this is time-bound as a public notice rather than an open funding competition.
Because it is not an application-based opportunity, both the original and current closing dates are listed as "This is not a request for applications." Anyone seeking further details, or needing help accessing the full announcement through Grants.gov, is directed to contact the named NPS point of contact, Jason Whitehead, at JasonWhitehead@nps.gov.
