Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00810
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement focused on collaborative ecological monitoring and natural resource data management across the San Francisco Bay Area Network (SFAN). The project pairs the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (GGNPC) with the NPS SFAN Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Program to collect, manage, analyze, and share scientific information about key biological and physical resources. The underlying goal is practical: strengthen how monitoring work gets done by sharing staff expertise, aligning methods, and adopting workflows that can benefit multiple teams and potentially other Pacific West Region (PWR) monitoring networks.
The core work centers on SFAN I&M "vital signs" monitoring, meaning repeated, standardized measurements of important ecological indicators. Activities include field data collection in multiple park units, followed by the behind-the-scenes technical work needed to turn raw observations into usable information. That includes database and file management, quality assurance and quality control procedures to maintain data integrity, and geographic information systems (GIS) support to map and visualize results. The scope also allows for supporting tasks that often make monitoring programs functional in the real world, such as reference photography, managing hard-copy records, and data entry.
A major emphasis is not just gathering data, but translating it into products people can use. The resulting datasets and analyses are intended to feed reports and science communication materials that help partners and the public understand local and regional ecology. Information sharing may take the form of written reports, web content, brochures, and public engagement events, all aimed at making the science more accessible and relevant to park visitors and surrounding communities.
The work takes place within SFAN park units where inventory and monitoring occurs, specifically Golden Gate National Recreation Area, John Muir National Historic Site, Pinnacles National Park, and Point Reyes National Seashore. Across these locations, the partnership is structured so that GGNPC primarily coordinates and supplies field staff and related support for ecological work and record keeping, while NPS provides program direction and technical oversight. NPS responsibilities include helping set priorities, developing and maintaining record-keeping protocols, supplying historical records for context, providing technical guidance, and doing editorial review and proofing for project outputs.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding action by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, issued as a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant competition). The notice is explicitly a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not a request for applications and is being funded under an existing cooperative agreement with GGNPC. The eligible applicant type listed is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit other than an institution of higher education, consistent with GGNPCs role. The opportunity number is P17AS00810, the CFDA listing is 15.944, the expected number of awards is one, and the listed award ceiling is $40,000.
The stated public purpose is straightforward: to develop and distribute scientific information on National Park System resources. In practice, the project supports both sound park management (through credible monitoring data and consistent methods) and public understanding (through communication products that explain what is happening in these ecosystems and why it matters).Apply for P17AS00810
