Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00710
This funding opportunity, titled "Statistical Support for Long-Term Monitoring in Five Intermountain Inventory and Monitoring Networks" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00710), is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. The listed funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The activity category is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA 15.945, which corresponds to NPS assistance programs.
The purpose of the award is to provide statistical support for long-term monitoring efforts across five Intermountain Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Networks. In practical terms, this kind of support often centers on designing, improving, and sustaining monitoring programs that track ecological conditions over time, helping parks and networks detect trends, evaluate resource status, and make scientifically defensible management decisions. The emphasis on "long-term monitoring" suggests work that supports ongoing data collection and analysis efforts that extend across years, where consistent methods and rigorous statistical approaches are crucial for separating real environmental change from normal variability and measurement noise.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of $32,908. That ceiling indicates the maximum expected federal funding amount for the agreement as presented in the notice.
The posting is not structured as an open competition. The closing information states "Notice of Intent to award, not a request for applications," which means the NPS was announcing its intent to make an award rather than soliciting proposals from the broader eligible community. In effect, this functions more like a public transparency notice that a cooperative agreement will be issued for this specific purpose, rather than an invitation for multiple applicants to submit competing applications. The opportunity was created on August 22, 2017.Apply for P17AS00710
