Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00476
The grant opportunity titled "Geologic Mapping in Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00476) is a National Park Service funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It was posted on August 16, 2017, with an original closing date of August 26, 2017. The announcement is categorized under an "Other" opportunity type and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically signals a project where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the work rather than simply providing funds and stepping back.
A key point of this notice is that it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notice that the National Park Service intends to support specific project activities without competition. In practical terms, that means the NPS has already identified the recipient it intends to work with (or is otherwise using an authorized non-competitive pathway) and is publishing the announcement to meet transparency requirements rather than to invite new proposals from the public. The listing shows an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this is planned as a single, directed award rather than an open competition.
The project focus, as indicated by the title, is geologic mapping work associated with the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River. Geologic mapping in a park or protected river corridor generally involves documenting and interpreting the types, distribution, and structure of rocks and sediments, as well as geologic features that influence landscape shape, erosion patterns, slope stability, river dynamics, habitat conditions, and potential geologic hazards. While the notice does not provide technical task details in the text provided, geologic mapping in an NPS unit commonly supports resource stewardship and management decisions by improving baseline scientific understanding of the area, helping managers plan for visitor safety, infrastructure placement and maintenance, and long-term conservation.
The announcement lists a maximum award amount (award ceiling) of 1, which strongly suggests the posting is either a placeholder record, a minimal or administrative ceiling, or that the detailed budget information may exist in internal documentation associated with the cooperative agreement rather than in the public synopsis. The funding activity category is also listed as "Other," with a note that further clarification would typically be provided in an "Explanation of Other Category of Funding Activity" field. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number provided is 15.944, which corresponds to National Park Service-related assistance programs and is used for federal assistance tracking and reporting.
Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," with a reference to additional eligibility details that would normally clarify what types of entities could qualify. However, because this is a non-competitive intent-to-award notice rather than an open solicitation, the eligibility field is less about inviting a wide applicant pool and more about classifying the recipient type within grants.gov or related reporting systems.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as an informational posting: the National Park Service is signaling its intent to make one cooperative agreement award for geologic mapping activities connected to the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, and the public notice serves transparency and compliance purposes rather than launching a competitive grant process.Apply for P17AS00476
