Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00582
The opportunity titled "Advancing the Public Connections of the North Coast and Cascades Research Learning Center" is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award issued by the United States Department of the Interior. It is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS plans to make a single, non-competitive award to support specific project activities tied to the North Coast and Cascades Research Learning Center (RLC). The overall focus, as indicated by the title and the nature of the RLC program, is to strengthen how the public connects with, understands, and benefits from research and learning efforts associated with parks and protected areas in the North Coast and Cascade region.
This funding will be made through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project in comparison to a standard grant. The identified recipient is the University of Washington, which is eligible as a public, state-controlled institution of higher education. The award is being issued under an existing partnership framework: the University of Washington is a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), operating under Cooperative and Joint Venture Agreement P16AC00003. In practical terms, that CESU relationship is the justification for issuing the award without full and open competition, since CESUs are designed to facilitate collaboration among federal agencies, universities, and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education projects.
The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category, with CFDA number 15.945. The funding opportunity number is P19AS00582, and the referenced cooperative agreement number for the planned award is P19AC01113. The posting date (creation date) is August 27, 2019, and there is no application deadline because there is no competitive application process associated with this notice. The NPS anticipates making one award, with an award ceiling of $499,619, meaning the planned funding is expected to be up to that amount for the single recipient.
In summary, this announcement is essentially a transparency notice: the NPS is signaling its intent to fund a specific University of Washington-led project, under the CESU partnership mechanism, to advance public engagement and connections with the North Coast and Cascades Research Learning Center. Because it is a targeted, pre-identified award rather than an open competition, organizations other than the University of Washington are not being invited to apply under this notice.Apply for P19AS00582
