Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00632
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, published a Notice of Intent to Award for a project called "Natural Resource Conservation Projects for Youth Engagement and Development within the Pacific Island Network Parks." The key point is that this announcement is not a request for applications and is not an open competition. Instead, it is a public transparency notice that NPS plans to move forward with a specific task agreement under an already-existing, previously competed master cooperative agreement.
This opportunity is listed under funding opportunity number P18AS00632 and is categorized as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the natural resources activity area (CFDA 15.931). Rather than soliciting new proposals, NPS intends to issue Task Agreement P18AC01308 under the master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00049. The intended partner for this task agreement is KUPU, indicating that the organization has already been selected through an earlier competitive process that established the master agreement, and this action is essentially an implementation step for a defined scope of work.
In practical terms, the project centers on natural resource conservation work in parks within the Pacific Island Network, paired with youth engagement and development. While the posting does not provide a detailed work plan, the title and context make clear that the activities are meant to combine hands-on conservation projects with structured opportunities for young people to build skills, gain experience in conservation or related resource management work, and participate in service activities that support NPS park priorities in the Pacific region.
The notice lists an award ceiling of $988,468 and anticipates a single award, consistent with a task agreement being issued to a predetermined partner rather than multiple awards being made through a competitive grant cycle. Although the eligibility field mentions nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and "others" (with additional eligibility details referenced), that eligibility language reflects the general type of organizations that can participate in such programs. It does not change the fact that this specific posting is not open for applications because NPS is not soliciting proposals and has already identified the recipient for this action.
The publication date is September 4, 2018, and there is no application deadline because no application process is being conducted. Overall, this notice functions mainly as an official announcement that NPS plans to fund and carry out youth-focused conservation project work in Pacific Island Network parks through a task agreement with KUPU under an established cooperative agreement framework.Apply for P18AS00632
