Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00723
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive award for work connected to post-wildfire response and restoration on Santa Cruz Island within Channel Islands National Park. It is specifically a Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Department of the Interior, meaning it is being published for transparency and public awareness rather than to solicit new proposals. In other words, there is no open application period and no opportunity here for other organizations to compete for the funding under this announcement.
The planned funding would be issued as a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), which typically indicates the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s planning, coordination, oversight, or implementation. The agreement referenced is Cooperative Agreement P18AC01428, and the intended recipient is the California Institute of Environmental Studies, a qualified nonprofit organization. The activity falls under the Natural Resources program area, consistent with emergency stabilization and rehabilitation actions that are commonly needed after a fire to reduce further damage and help affected ecosystems recover.
The project title, "Santa Cruz Fire Burn Area Emergency Response and Burn Area Rehabilitation at Channel Islands National Park," signals two related phases of work: immediate post-fire emergency response (often focused on urgent stabilization needs right after the burn) and longer-term burn area rehabilitation (focused on restoring natural conditions and reducing lasting impacts). While the notice does not list specific tasks, projects of this type at national parks frequently involve assessing burn severity and risks, stabilizing soils to limit erosion, protecting watersheds and water quality, addressing hazards to natural and cultural resources, and supporting recovery of native vegetation and habitat. The overall intent is to prevent secondary impacts that can follow a fire, such as heavy sediment runoff, invasive species expansion, or damage to sensitive areas, and to guide the landscape toward recovery.
Key administrative details included in the notice are the opportunity number (P18AS00723) and the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance reference (CFDA 15.944), which is used to classify the federal assistance program. The award is expected to be a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an anticipated maximum federal amount listed as 185,319 dollars (Award Ceiling: 185,319). The posting date is September 22, 2018. Eligibility is listed broadly as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations other than institutions of higher education, but because the NPS states it intends to fund this work without full and open competition and explicitly says it is not a request for applications, that eligibility statement does not translate into an opportunity to apply under this particular announcement.
Overall, the notice functions as a formal public record that the NPS plans to support a specific partner organization through a cooperative agreement to carry out fire-related emergency response and rehabilitation work on Santa Cruz Island, with the goal of stabilizing impacted areas and promoting recovery within Channel Islands National Park.Apply for P18AS00723
