Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00620
The "Helping Hands for Honu'ea" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00620) is a discretionary funding action announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It is issued as a Notice of Intent to Award, which means it is meant to inform the public that NPS plans to make an award rather than invite new proposals. In other words, it is not a request for applications, it has no application window, and the listed "closing date" is effectively not applicable because the agency is not seeking competing submissions.
The funding will be issued through a cooperative agreement, a type of federal assistance instrument typically used when the agency expects to be substantially involved in the work alongside the recipient, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The planned recipient is the University of Hawaii, identified as a partner under the Hawaii-Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are established partnerships that help federal agencies collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, education, and conservation projects. This specific notice indicates NPS intends to proceed "without full and open competition," meaning the award is not being competed broadly; instead, it is being directed to the named partner through the CESU framework.
The activity category for the work is Natural Resources, and the assistance listing is associated with CFDA number 15.945 (a federal assistance classification used for NPS-related programs). The anticipated award amount is capped at an award ceiling of $34,427, and NPS expects to make one award. The project itself is titled "Helping Hands for Honu'ea," and while the notice does not provide detailed work tasks in the text provided, the framing and categorization indicate the effort is tied to natural resource stewardship activities aligned with NPS priorities in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands, carried out in partnership with the University of Hawaii.
Eligibility in the published metadata is listed as "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," which aligns with the identified recipient. The notice was created on September 14, 2017, and it functions primarily as a transparency measure: it documents the agency's intent to fund a specific project, with a specific partner, under a cooperative agreement mechanism, for a defined amount, without soliciting competitive applications from the broader public.Apply for P17AS00620
