Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00589
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for a project called "Climate-smart Conservation of Snowy Plovers: A Spatial-Analytic Approach." It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public and there is no application window or competitive selection process associated with this posting. Instead, the listing serves as a public transparency notice that the agency plans to fund specific project activities through an existing assistance mechanism without full and open competition.
The opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00589, and is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The program area falls under natural resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.944. The named recipient organization is Point Blue Conservation Science, a nonprofit entity (501(c)(3) status). Although the general eligibility field references 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than higher education institutions), the notice makes clear that the NPS already intends to fund Point Blue Conservation Science through Cooperative Agreement P19AC01094, so other eligible organizations are not being invited to apply under this announcement.
Financially, the posting lists an award ceiling of $54,264 and anticipates one award in total. The creation date is August 31, 2019. Because it is a notice of intent rather than a competitive funding call, the "closing date" is effectively not applicable and is stated as such in the listing. In practical terms, the key takeaway is that NPS is announcing its plan to support a targeted, climate-informed conservation effort focused on snowy plovers, using spatial and analytic methods, through a cooperative agreement with Point Blue Conservation Science, with a total federal funding amount up to the stated ceiling and no opportunity for outside submissions under this specific notice.Apply for P19AS00589
