Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00619
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Avian and Habitat Research, Monitoring, and Restoration at the Channel Islands." This notice is strictly a public announcement and not an open call for proposals or applications. In other words, the NPS is not seeking competing submissions through this posting; it is documenting its plan to fund specific work through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition.
The funding vehicle for this effort is a discretionary Cooperative Agreement (identified as Cooperative Agreement P19AC01235), reflecting a partnership-style arrangement where the NPS and the recipient are expected to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project. The planned recipient named in the notice is the California Institute of Environmental Studies, a qualifying nonprofit organization under IRS 501(c)(3) status (and not an institution of higher education). The opportunity is cataloged under Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00619 and is associated with the Natural Resources funding activity category and CFDA number 15.944.
In terms of scope, the project is focused on the Channel Islands and centers on avian and habitat work, specifically research, monitoring, and restoration. While the notice does not lay out technical workplans or methods, the title and activity framing indicate support for studying bird populations and related ecological conditions, tracking changes over time through monitoring, and implementing or supporting restoration actions to improve or protect habitats important to avian species and broader island ecosystems. These types of projects typically involve field surveys, data collection and analysis, long-term monitoring protocols, and hands-on habitat improvement or rehabilitation efforts tied to park management goals.
Financially, the posting lists an award ceiling of $1,014,432 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), consistent with the intent to make one non-competitive cooperative agreement to the specified partner. The notice was created on September 19, 2019, and it has no application closing date because it is not a solicitation. Overall, the announcement functions as a transparency measure: it informs the public that NPS intends to allocate up to just over $1.0 million for one cooperative agreement supporting bird and habitat research, monitoring, and restoration activities in the Channel Islands, with the California Institute of Environmental Studies as the planned awardee.Apply for P19AS00619
