Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00285
The funding opportunity titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00285) is a discretionary funding action issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. It falls under the environment and natural resources category and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.954. The planned funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means that, unlike a standard grant, the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the supported activities, such as collaboration on project direction, coordination, or technical input during the period of performance.
This posting is explicitly not a request for applications and should not be treated like an open competition. In practical terms, it functions as a public notice that the agency intends to make an award, rather than an invitation for organizations to apply. The listing indicates an expected number of awards of one (1) and an award ceiling of $60,000, which suggests a single recipient is anticipated and that the total federal funding for the action is not expected to exceed that amount.
Eligibility is listed as county governments, meaning the intended recipient must be a county-level governmental entity. Because the notice is not soliciting proposals and includes an "Original Closing Date" that reiterates it is not a request for applications, there is no application deadline, standard application package, or competitive submission process tied to this announcement. The creation date of the notice is June 5, 2018, which is simply the date the public notice was posted.
Overall, the key takeaway is that this is an informational, pre-award (or award-intent) publication for a single cooperative agreement in the natural resources/environment space, capped at $60,000, and targeted to a county government. It is not an opportunity that other entities can apply to through Grants.gov or a similar portal, unless the agency later issues a separate competitive solicitation.Apply for P18AS00285
