Opportunity Information: Apply for NOIP17AC00130
The National Park Service-Plant Restoration-Site Improvement Project (Funding Opportunity Number NOIP17AC00130) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior notice stating the agency's intent to make a specific award rather than open a competition for new applications. In other words, it is a public notice of an upcoming funding action, not a request for proposals. The announcement explains that NPS intends to fund a task agreement under an existing master agreement framework, with the work carried out through a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically involves active federal participation in the project rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
The intended recipient for this project is Conservation Legacy, a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (and not an institution of higher education). The total anticipated federal award amount is $36,000, with no cost share required from the recipient. The award instrument is identified as Cooperative Agreement P17AC00130, and the anticipated period of performance runs through July 30, 2017. The posting shows an original creation date of January 9, 2017 and an original closing date of January 18, 2017, reflecting the administrative window for this notice rather than an application deadline for the public, since the action is not competitively solicited. The program is tied to CFDA 15.931, Youth Conservation Activities, and the funding activity category is listed as Education, reflecting the strong youth development and training component embedded in the on-the-ground conservation work.
The project itself focuses on plant restoration and site improvements in NPS-managed areas while deliberately engaging youth and young adults in hands-on conservation. Conservation Legacy is expected to collaborate with NPS to build environmental awareness and practical restoration skills among participants, encourage healthy lifestyles through field-based work, and provide exposure to conservation professionals and potential career pathways. The on-site tasks described include mapping and removing non-native vegetation, conducting natural resource monitoring, managing and restoring native plant communities, improving wildlife habitat, and enhancing visitor viewscapes (the visual quality of landscapes experienced by park visitors). The overall intent is both ecological and developmental: improving park resources while helping train and motivate future stewards and potential NPS leaders.
A key feature of this opportunity is the explicit expectation of substantial NPS involvement, which is why a cooperative agreement is used. NPS staff are anticipated to support and participate in the work, including assisting with planning and execution and helping create education and training opportunities for the youth crews. This level of federal engagement is presented as important to successfully meeting the project objectives, especially where projects require coordination with park resource staff, adherence to park standards, and alignment with broader restoration priorities.
The notice also explains why NPS did not pursue full and open competition. Conservation Legacy is part of the established 21st Century Conservation Corps Program - Youth Engagement and Development and had previously been awarded Cooperative Agreement P15AC00024, which positioned the organization to perform specific tasks under that broader agreement structure. The agency considered three members of the 21st Century Conservation Corps network and selected Conservation Legacy based on the experience of its crews and their availability to work in remote areas, suggesting that logistical capacity and proven field performance were important selection factors. The listed point of contact for the agreement is Tina Holland, Agreements Officer, who would typically handle administrative questions related to the award rather than application intake.Apply for NOIP17AC00130
