Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00430
Habitat, Fuels and Vegetation Surveys (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00430) is a National Park Service discretionary funding opportunity under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on natural resources work at Saguaro National Park. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Park Service expects to be actively involved alongside the recipient rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The central purpose is to partner with an eligible nonprofit organization to support undergraduate-level research internships. Those interns would conduct on-the-ground vegetation assessments, generating field data that the park can use directly in day-to-day and long-range resource management.
The practical value of the project is in the management decisions the resulting data will support. Vegetation survey information is intended to feed into planning and implementation for prescribed fire and broader fire management, including wildland fire fuels reduction efforts. It also supports invasive plant management by helping identify the presence, distribution, and potentially the severity or spread of invasive species that can alter desert ecosystem function. In addition, the assessments contribute to habitat protection by documenting vegetation conditions that influence wildlife habitat quality and resilience, especially in a landscape where fire behavior, non-native plants, and changing conditions can interact.
Funding for this task is relatively small and targeted, with an award ceiling of $42,021 and an expectation of a single award. The listing identifies the eligible applicant pool as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) IRS status (specifically excluding institutions of higher education), which signals that the intended partner is likely an established nonprofit capable of recruiting, supporting, and supervising interns in coordination with park staff while meeting federal assistance and reporting requirements associated with cooperative agreements.
It is also important that this posting is not an open call for proposals. The announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent, stating that no applications are being accepted because the task agreement will be awarded under an existing cooperative agreement (P16AC00027) that was already selected through a competitive process. In other words, the funding pathway is already set, and the opportunity functions more as public documentation of the planned award and project scope than as a solicitation for new applicants. The opportunity was created on July 13, 2018, and the original closing date field reinforces that it is not open for competition at this time.
In summary, this is a cooperative, park-focused project designed to place undergraduate interns into applied field research roles at Saguaro National Park, producing vegetation survey data with immediate operational relevance for fire-related fuels planning, invasive plant control, and habitat protection, with a single, modestly sized award planned and no current application window because it is tied to an existing competitively awarded agreement.Apply for P18AS00430
