Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Treatment invasive plant species" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIVARI100001), is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary cooperative agreement focused on restoring and managing native habitat on National Park Service units and nearby non-federal lands. The core goal is practical habitat restoration through the treatment and control of invasive terrestrial and aquatic plant species that are harming ecosystems and degrading critical park habitats. The work is framed around scientifically informed, integrated pest management approaches, meaning the project is expected to rely on coordinated, evidence-based methods (rather than a single tactic) to reduce invasive plant impacts and support long-term recovery of native plant communities and associated wildlife habitat.
The opportunity anticipates a single award with an estimated total funding level of $400,000. There is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is expected to contribute resources beyond the federal share, whether through cash, in-kind services, labor, equipment, or other allowable contributions, consistent with cooperative agreement rules. Although the award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, the overall estimated total funding amount provides the most meaningful indicator of the intended funding scale for the project.
Eligibility is not broadly open in practice because the announcement is specifically a Notice of Intent to award a cooperative agreement to the Minnesota Conservation Corps (MCC). In other words, this posting functions more as an official public notice of an intended award than as an open competitive solicitation. The notice also states that the award was competed under internal NPS procedures, indicating the selection process occurred through NPS mechanisms rather than through an open application period available to all potential applicants.
The administrative details show the opportunity was posted and created on January 27, 2010, originally set to close on February 6, 2010, and later extended to a current closing date of February 11, 2010. The archive date is March 8, 2010. The program is tied to CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with the involvement of an organization like MCC and suggests the project may also incorporate conservation fieldwork components consistent with youth or service-based conservation efforts.
