Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00673
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project called "Threatened Western Snowy Plover Monitoring and Protection at Point Reyes National Seashore." This notice is strictly a public announcement that NPS plans to fund a specific set of activities under an existing cooperative agreement, and it is not an open call for proposals or applications. In other words, the agency is not seeking new applicants or competing submissions; it is documenting its intent to proceed with a single, predetermined partner and project.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the supported work (for example, coordination, shared technical input, or joint implementation). The funded work falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.954, which corresponds to National Park Service natural resource programs. The project is tied to Task Agreement P18AC01260, issued under a broader master Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00857) with Point Blue Conservation Science, the named partner organization.
The purpose of the project, as indicated by the title, is to support monitoring and protection efforts for the western snowy plover, a species listed as threatened. At Point Reyes National Seashore, this kind of work typically centers on tracking population status and breeding activity, identifying nesting areas, assessing threats and disturbance factors, and implementing protective measures to improve reproductive success and overall viability of the local population. While the notice does not provide detailed task descriptions, projects of this type commonly include systematic field surveys during the breeding season, nest monitoring, documenting banded birds or individual identifiers where applicable, and management actions designed to reduce human or predator impacts in sensitive beach habitat.
From an administrative standpoint, the posting provides the key award details: the funding opportunity number is P18AS00673, the posting date (creation date) is September 10, 2018, and the expected number of awards is one. The award ceiling is $34,983, indicating the maximum anticipated federal funding amount for this specific task agreement action. Because it is a notice of intent to award under an existing agreement, the normal elements of a competitive grant (application deadline, selection criteria, and broad eligibility) do not apply here, even though the eligibility field notes nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). That eligibility statement reflects the general type of entity that can participate in such programs, but in this case the partner has already been identified as Point Blue Conservation Science.
Overall, this notice functions as a transparency measure: it tells the public that NPS intends to allocate up to $34,983 through a cooperative agreement mechanism to Point Blue Conservation Science to carry out threatened western snowy plover monitoring and protection work at Point Reyes National Seashore, and it clarifies that there is no opportunity for outside organizations to apply for this particular award.Apply for P18AS00673
