Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Wilderness stewardship planning effort" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIELMA10820), was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument. The work falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." The announcement was posted on August 11, 2011, with an extremely short application window that closed on August 13, 2011, and it was archived the next day on August 14, 2011. The National Park Service anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $26,059. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, and the listing did not specify award floor or ceiling amounts (both shown as $0, which often indicates the agency did not publish those limits in the synopsis rather than implying no funding cap).
The purpose of the task agreement was to support a wilderness fellow or conservation associate position for the Natural Resources office at El Malpais National Monument. In practical terms, the funded role was intended to contribute to development of a Wilderness Stewardship Plan, a core planning document used by the National Park Service to guide day-to-day stewardship and long-term management of designated wilderness areas. The notice explains that the stewardship plan would be used to improve the effectiveness of wilderness resource management, streamline compliance and review processes, and ultimately protect wilderness character. This points to work that typically includes compiling and analyzing resource data, helping define management goals and desired conditions, supporting minimum requirement/minimum tool decision processes, coordinating internal reviews, and assisting with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) related documentation or readiness steps, all aimed at ensuring wilderness is managed in accordance with the Wilderness Act and NPS policy.
Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others," but the announcement also makes clear it was "for informational purposes only" and served as a Notice of Intent to award to the Student Conservation Association under an existing cooperative agreement. That language generally indicates the agency planned a non-competitive or limited-competition action based on a pre-existing partnership vehicle, rather than an open call where multiple applicants would be evaluated. In other words, while the opportunity was publicly posted, the intent was to place or support a qualified fellow through the Student Conservation Association to carry out the planning and stewardship assistance work at El Malpais National Monument.
For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the posted point of contact was Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6042.
