Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00024
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Support for Biological Monitoring at Joshua Tree National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00024) under the Natural Resources activity category (CFDA 15.931). The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the notice was issued on November 27, 2017 with an original closing date of December 11, 2017. The listed award ceiling is $174,963.
The purpose of the project is to provide biological monitoring tied specifically to construction projects occurring within Joshua Tree National Park. The monitoring focuses on three main resource concerns: the federally listed desert tortoise, migratory birds, and invasive plant species. In practice, this type of work typically involves having qualified biological monitors present before and during ground-disturbing or otherwise disruptive construction activities to identify sensitive resources, implement avoidance measures, and document compliance actions so that construction can proceed while minimizing environmental impacts.
A central driver for the work is compliance with the Endangered Species Act. Because the desert tortoise is federally listed, monitoring and protective measures are required to ensure the species is not harmed by construction-related activities. The notice states that monitoring is conducted with guidance from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reflecting the coordination that is commonly required when federal actions may affect listed species. The overall intent is to support species survival and prevent take or other prohibited impacts through early detection of risks, on-the-ground mitigation, and adaptive responses when sensitive wildlife is encountered.
This announcement is explicitly a "Notice of Intent to Award" and not a request for applications. It serves as public notice that the National Park Service planned to fund the work under an existing cooperative agreement with GBI (as referenced in the announcement). Although the eligibility section lists 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education) as eligible applicants, the notice indicates the award was not being competed through an open application process for this specific posting. The expected number of awards is listed as zero, which aligns with the statement that the project would be funded through an existing agreement rather than through new competitive selections.Apply for P18AS00024
