Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00826
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Expanding Explore Natural Communities Outreach to include other NCR Parks" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00826). The purpose of this award is to continue and complete work already laid out in a revised project Work Plan (referenced as Attachment D, Modification 2) that focuses on broadening the reach of the "Explore Natural Communities" online field guide across additional National Capital Region (NCR) parks with natural resource programs. Rather than launching a new, open competition, this announcement served strictly as a public notice that NPS intended to fund the described work without a competitive application process.
At the core of the project is the development and expansion of online, map-based tools that support public access to park natural resource information. Specifically, the agreement aims to complete the first-iteration map viewers for six identified parks: ANTI, CATO, MANA, MONO, NACE, and PRWI. In practical terms, this means producing initial versions of interactive mapping viewers that integrate relevant source data into the Explore Natural Communities platform so that users can view, explore, and learn about natural community information for each of these parks through a consistent online interface. The language of the announcement emphasizes continuation of enumerated tasks from an established work plan, which typically indicates the effort is part of a multi-step workflow or an ongoing partnership where foundational work was previously completed and the remaining tasks involve finishing and extending deliverables.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that NPS anticipated substantial federal involvement during the project, such as coordination, technical input, data sharing, review of products, or iterative collaboration as the map viewers are built and refined. The opportunity was categorized under the funding activity area of Employment, Labor and Training and carried CFDA number 15.944, reflecting its placement within the federal assistance cataloging system used at the time of the announcement.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The announcement listed an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $25,000, indicating a relatively small, targeted funding action intended to support a defined set of deliverables rather than a broad program of work. The posting was created on September 14, 2017, with an original closing date of September 20, 2017, which aligns with the fact that it was not soliciting applications and instead was providing timely public notice of an intended, non-competitive funding decision.
In summary, this grant notice describes a non-competitive, single-award cooperative agreement by NPS to extend an existing online natural communities field guide by completing initial interactive map viewers for six NCR parks, using tasks already specified in a revised work plan, with up to $25,000 available to an eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit partner.Apply for P17AS00826
