Opportunity Information: Apply for NOIP16AC01295
The grant opportunity titled "Promote Great Lakes Ecosystem Health Through Education About Invasive Species and their Prevention - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative #669" is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement tied to the multi-agency Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI). Its central purpose is to protect Great Lakes ecosystems by reducing the spread of invasive species that can be unintentionally transported through common recreation activities, such as boating, fishing, paddling, and other shoreline or water-based use. Rather than focusing on direct removal or control work, the project is centered on education and outreach: planning, developing, and distributing communication materials that clearly explain the risks invasive species pose and the practical prevention steps the public can take.
A key feature of this announcement is that it is not an open, competitive funding opportunity. It is a public notice of NPS intent to fund a specific partner without competition, meaning it is not a request for applications. The identified cooperator is Wildlife Forever, selected because of its relevant technical expertise, its capacity to design and deliver effective communications, and its strategic position to collaborate across the Great Lakes region. The announcement also emphasizes that Wildlife Forever is coordinating closely with other federal partners and is receiving related funding from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Forest Service, with the goal of keeping outreach efforts aligned and ensuring consistent prevention messaging across multiple agencies and sites.
The cooperative agreement structure indicates substantial involvement by NPS during the project. NPS plans to coordinate with the cooperator on a quarterly basis to organize activities, monitor progress, share information, and discuss effective outreach methods. NPS will also help facilitate coordination with other invasive species education and prevention projects taking place at Great Lakes national parks, forests, refuges, and other partner-managed locations. This structured coordination is intended to improve accuracy, strengthen the effectiveness of messaging, and avoid fragmented or conflicting public guidance. The rationale presented is that NPS can extend the impact of its limited education and outreach funds by leveraging this broader, multi-agency collaboration rather than supporting a separate, standalone effort.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NOIP16AC01295, categorized as "Other," and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument. The activity category is Natural Resources, with CFDA number 15.944. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $100,000. The notice was created on 2016-08-11, with an original closing date of 2016-08-22, reflecting its function as a notice of intent rather than a typical application-driven solicitation. Overall, the project is designed to boost public awareness and change recreation-related behaviors that contribute to invasive species spread, using coordinated, region-wide outreach developed in partnership with Wildlife Forever and aligned with broader GLRI invasive species prevention goals.Apply for NOIP16AC01295
