Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00585
The Hickmans Potentilla Protection Support Project (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00585) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on natural resource conservation and long-term stewardship. The project is designed as a large-scale effort spanning more than 300 acres and is expected to take multiple years of continued, hands-on management to meet its conservation goals. At its core, the work supports protection and recovery efforts for Hickman's potentilla, an endangered plant species, by improving habitat conditions, tracking ecological threats, and strengthening native plant communities over time.
The funding instrument for this effort is a cooperative agreement, which signals that the project is intended to be carried out through substantial collaboration between NPS staff and partner personnel rather than as a standard, arms-length grant. In this case, the partner referenced is GGNPC, and the notice makes clear that NPS and GGNPC personnel will work together across several technical and operational tasks. Those tasks include monitoring endangered species populations and habitat conditions; mapping, monitoring, and actively managing invasive species that may threaten sensitive native ecosystems; implementing native plant restoration activities; collecting propagules (such as seeds or other plant materials used for propagation); producing native plants for restoration purposes; conducting outplanting to re-establish or bolster native vegetation in the field; and providing outreach support to communicate the work and promote understanding of the conservation effort.
Administratively, this announcement is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not open for competition and is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS planned to fund this project under an already existing cooperative agreement with GGNPC. The opportunity lists eligibility as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but the notice language clarifies that the award is being made through an established partnership rather than through a new solicitation process. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $300,000, indicating the anticipated maximum funding level for the single planned project award under this notice.
Key dates included in the record show a creation date of July 31, 2017, and an original closing date of August 9, 2017, which aligns with the purpose of the posting as a time-bound public notice rather than an open application window. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.944, a cataloging reference used to track federal financial assistance programs and related funding activities. Overall, the project combines endangered species monitoring, invasive species control, native plant propagation and restoration, and public-facing support into a multi-year, landscape-scale stewardship effort delivered through close coordination between the National Park Service and its nonprofit partner.Apply for P17AS00585
