Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00230
The Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, posted a grant opportunity titled "Fellowships Supporting Community-Based Conservation and Recr" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00230). It was published on May 21, 2018, with an original closing date of May 31, 2018. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for both the opportunity category and the funding activity category, with the activity category further noted as "Other" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement text. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service-related assistance.
This notice is not a broad, open competitive solicitation in the usual sense. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that the agency intended to make a single award as financial assistance in the form of a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC00021) with the Hispanic Access Foundation. In practice, that means the NPS planned to fund fellowship work supporting community-based conservation and recreation efforts by adding a task-specific agreement under a pre-established partnership vehicle, rather than running a new competition among many applicants. The posted award ceiling is $1, and the expected number of awards is 1, which reinforces that the posting functions mainly as a public notice of an intended, specific award action rather than a typical funding competition with substantial available funds.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the announcement indicating that details are provided in an additional eligibility section. However, the description makes clear that the intended recipient under the task agreement is the Hispanic Access Foundation through the referenced cooperative agreement. Overall, the key takeaway is that this opportunity is essentially a formal transparency notice that the National Park Service planned to issue a single task agreement to support fellowship activities tied to community-based conservation and recreation, executed under an existing cooperative agreement with a named partner organization.Apply for P18AS00230
