Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Youth engagement through exotic and native plant management" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00328) is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resources work in National Park Service units across the Pacific Northwest. The core purpose is to support a youth engagement partnership that helps NPS carry out on-the-ground invasive plant management and related site restoration activities. The project work specifically includes invasive (exotic) plant control through herbicide application and mechanical removal, along with restoration actions such as collecting seeds, preparing sites for restoration, and planting native species to restore affected areas.
This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a Request for Applications. In practical terms, that means NPS is using the posting to publicly disclose its intention to fund a particular set of project activities without a full and open competitive application process, rather than soliciting proposals from a wide pool of applicants. The opportunity is expected to result in a single award.
The estimated total funding amount is $300,000, with an award ceiling of $300,000 and an award floor of $0. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, indicating the recipient is not required to contribute matching funds as a condition of the award. The eligible applicant category shown is state governments. The opportunity is associated with CFDA numbers 15.931 (Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations) and 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship), aligning the project with youth conservation service and stewardship outcomes.
