Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00349
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service is issuing a discretionary funding action for a project titled "Special Landscape History Study of Tumacacori National Historical Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00349). The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply awarding funds and receiving a final product. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, indicating the focus is on documenting, analyzing, and interpreting landscape-related resources at Tumacacori National Historical Park, likely including historical land use patterns, cultural landscape evolution, and the way natural and human systems have shaped the park over time.
This notice is not a standard open competition. It is explicitly described as a "Notice of Intent to Award, not a request for applications," meaning the agency is announcing its intent to fund a specific project with an anticipated recipient rather than inviting proposals from the general public. As a result, there is no traditional application deadline in the way many grant solicitations operate; the original closing date field reflects this by stating it is a notice of intent rather than a call for applications.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity lists an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this is intended to result in a single cooperative agreement rather than multiple awards. The maximum federal amount available (award ceiling) is $98,574, which effectively indicates the anticipated top-end funding level for the single award associated with the study.
In practical terms, the funded work is aimed at producing a specialized landscape history study for Tumacacori National Historical Park. While the short description does not spell out specific deliverables, a special landscape history study generally compiles historical documentation, maps and spatial data, archival research, and field-based observations to describe how a landscape developed over time, what features and periods are significant, and how those findings can inform stewardship, interpretation, and future management decisions. The opportunity was created on June 7, 2017, and is administered by the National Park Service under CFDA number 15.945.Apply for P17AS00349
