Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00768
The Plant and Vegetation Conservation: Monitoring and Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00768) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work tied to plant and vegetation protection. The project is designed to protect and improve vegetation and flora across a mix of federal, state, and locally owned parklands located within and near the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area (SMMNRA). At its core, the effort supports on-the-ground conservation and resource stewardship by collecting and developing better information about local plant communities, then using that information to guide practical management decisions.
A central purpose of the project is monitoring and management that improves understanding of vegetation conditions and trends. The knowledge produced through this work is intended to be shared in a way that directly supports decision-making beyond the boundaries of any single park unit. Specifically, findings will be reported to local governments and land management agencies so they can make more informed, coordinated, and effective regional conservation choices. This emphasis on reporting and information transfer highlights the project as not only field-based conservation, but also a mechanism for strengthening how multiple agencies and jurisdictions respond to vegetation and habitat needs across a broader landscape.
The opportunity also has a public-facing capacity-building component. By carrying out this work, the NPS and MRT will increase their ability to interpret local vegetation and flora, which in turn is expected to improve program delivery and public understanding of natural resources in federal, state, and local parks. In addition, the project is structured to expand MRTs organizational capacity as a land management, conservation, and education organization by providing further experience and engagement through implementation. In other words, the grant is intended to leave behind stronger institutional capability, not just a one-time set of monitoring results.
From an administrative standpoint, this announcement is a notice of intent to award rather than an open solicitation. It explicitly states that it is not a request for applications and that NPS plans to fund the project under an existing cooperative agreement with MRT. The funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, meaning NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the project rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The listed eligible applicant category is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but because this is a notice tied to an existing agreement, it is effectively directed to the named partner rather than a competitive pool.
The opportunity was created on September 1, 2017, with an original closing date of September 14, 2017, and it anticipated a single award. The award ceiling is $90,000, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 15.944. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as targeted support for collaborative vegetation monitoring and management around SMMNRA, paired with structured reporting to regional decision-makers and deliberate capacity-building for both the NPS and its nonprofit partner.Apply for P17AS00768
