Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00661
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project called "Integrated Fire and Weed Management Planning through a National Parks and Protected Areas Cooperative Studies Program at Oregon State University Cascades Campus." This notice is strictly a public notification and not a call for proposals or a competitive application opportunity. In other words, the NPS is signaling that it plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a pre-identified partner arrangement, rather than seeking new applications from the broader public.
The planned funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient, such as coordinating technical direction, collaborating on planning, or supporting implementation decisions. The specific agreement referenced is Cooperative Agreement P18AC01347, and it will be issued to Oregon State University (OSU). OSU is participating as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), tied to Cooperative and Joint Venture Agreement P16AC00003. CESU partnerships are commonly used by federal land management agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and planning related to natural and cultural resource management.
The focus of the project is integrated planning for fire management and weed (invasive plant) management in the context of national parks and protected areas, using the National Parks and Protected Areas Cooperative Studies Program at OSU's Cascades Campus. Although the notice does not list detailed tasks, the title and context point to work that helps park and protected-area managers coordinate wildfire-related planning (such as fuels, fire risk, or fire effects) with strategies to prevent, control, or respond to invasive plant spread, which can be influenced by fire and post-fire disturbance. The "integrated" framing suggests an emphasis on aligning these two management areas so they are planned together rather than handled as separate programs.
From the opportunity data provided, this is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under the natural resources activity category. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 15.945, which is associated with NPS assistance activities. The eligible applicant type listed is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," consistent with the intended recipient being a public university. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this is a single-recipient action rather than a competitive, multi-award program.
The maximum funding amount shown (award ceiling) is $201,248. The posting date (creation date) is September 8, 2018. The listing also explicitly states that there is no application deadline because it is not a request for applications. The purpose of the posting is transparency: to inform the public that the NPS intends to make an award without full and open competition, and to identify the recipient, the agreement type, and the project title tied to that planned award.Apply for P18AS00661
