Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00520
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Resource Management assistance with Geographic Information System Mapping" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00520). The project focuses on providing condition assessments and building or improving Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping products for CUGA, with the intent of strengthening on-the-ground resource management work. In practical terms, the funded effort is meant to support core management needs such as invasive or nuisance plant control, insect monitoring and control, and wildlife control activities by supplying better spatial data, mapped inventories, and condition information that can guide planning, prioritization, and field operations.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The program falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.931. The posted award ceiling is $37,380, indicating a relatively small, targeted project budget intended for specific technical and field-support outputs like assessments, GIS data development, and mapping deliverables.
Eligibility is limited primarily to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), along with other eligible entities as described in the opportunity's additional eligibility text. The opportunity was created on August 15, 2019, with an original application closing date of August 25, 2019. The listing shows "Expected Awards: 0," which may reflect an administrative listing detail rather than a definitive statement that no awards will be made, but it does signal that applicants would need to review the full notice language to understand the agency's award intentions and selection approach.
Overall, the opportunity is aimed at organizations that can combine resource-condition field assessment capability with GIS skills, producing mapping and condition datasets that help CUGA meet resource management requirements, especially in areas like plant and insect control planning and wildlife management decision-making.Apply for P19AS00520
