Opportunity Summary:
The SEKI 2016-2018 Cooperative Ecological Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00102) is a discretionary funding program offered by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) to support hands-on conservation training and fieldwork in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Structured as a cooperative agreement, it is designed to fund a partner organization that can help the parks provide real-world, supervised resource management experience for young crew members affiliated with American Conservation Experience. The overall aim is workforce development through practical, on-the-ground conservation service, paired with measurable restoration and stewardship outcomes on NPS-managed lands.
The core objective is to create opportunities for youth crew members to be trained and to carry out resource conservation work over a multi-year period covering 2016 through 2018. The work described is centered on ecological restoration and related natural and cultural resource projects, with examples including restoring damaged ecosystems and controlling invasive plants. The scope also explicitly includes projects in both frontcountry areas (more accessible, developed portions of the parks) and wilderness locations, meaning the funded effort is expected to span a range of settings, access constraints, and operational conditions typical of large, rugged park landscapes.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $66,500, with one award expected. The program falls under the Education activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.931. The eligible applicant category is limited to nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education, which narrows the pool to a specific type of nonprofit partner consistent with certain NPS partnership authorities and cooperative agreement structures.
Key administrative dates indicate the announcement was created and posted on April 7, 2016, and the application deadline (original and current) was April 21, 2016. Overall, the grant is essentially a targeted, single-award cooperative partnership meant to blend youth training and conservation service with priority restoration needs in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, emphasizing ecological restoration, invasive species management, and similar resource stewardship tasks across both developed and wilderness park environments.
