Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOICOLM1900291 MOD01
This grant opportunity, titled "PLC FY16-19 - Invasive Species Removal, Road Corridor Maintenance and Trail Maintenance" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOICOLM1900291 MOD01), is a National Park Service notice of intent to award issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It falls under the discretionary funding category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning the agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the funded activities rather than simply providing funds with minimal oversight.
The announcement is explicitly not a request for applications and should not be read as an open competition. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that the National Park Service intends to provide an award to a specific organization: Mesa Youth Services. The work will be executed through a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (P17AC00238). In practical terms, this is a modification to an already-established partnership, adding funding and authorizing additional work consistent with the scope of the original task agreement rather than creating a brand-new, open grant program.
The funded work is focused on natural resource stewardship activities, specifically invasive species removal, maintenance along road corridors, and trail maintenance. These kinds of projects typically support ecological health, visitor safety, and long-term operational sustainability in park units by removing or controlling non-native plants, improving roadside conditions (such as clearing vegetation that can impede sightlines or encroach on infrastructure), and maintaining trails to reduce erosion, improve drainage, and keep routes passable and safe for the public.
Administrative details in the notice indicate it was created on August 14, 2019, with an original closing date of August 19, 2019, which in this context functions more as a posting window than a deadline for applicants since no applications are being solicited. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $30,800 and anticipates a single award, aligning with the fact that the intended recipient is pre-identified. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number is 15.931, which is associated with National Park Service financial assistance programs. Although the eligible applicant category is described as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), this eligibility language is largely standard boilerplate here, since the award is directed to a named nonprofit partner through an existing agreement.
Overall, the notice communicates that the National Park Service is increasing or adjusting support for ongoing, on-the-ground conservation and maintenance work already being performed with Mesa Youth Services, rather than launching a new competitive funding opportunity for the wider public.Apply for NPSNOICOLM1900291 MOD01
