Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00847
The American Samoa Community and Youth Engagement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00847) is a discretionary funding action announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It is issued as a Notice of Intent to Award, which means it is not a competitive solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, the notice serves as a public transparency step to inform the public that NPS intends to provide funding for a specific set of project activities without full and open competition.
The funding instrument identified is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in carrying out the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal agency interaction. The work falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity area and is associated with CFDA 15.931, a catalog listing used to classify federal assistance programs. The total anticipated award amount is capped at an award ceiling of $198,711, and NPS expects to make a single award.
The notice specifies the intended recipient and the legal/administrative vehicle for the award. The project will be implemented through Task Agreement Number P17AC01736 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P15AC00015) with American Conservation Experience. Although the eligible applicant category listed in the source data is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), this particular announcement is not inviting other eligible nonprofits to apply because NPS is announcing its intent to fund the named partner under the referenced agreement and task order.
In practical terms, the announcement indicates that NPS is moving forward with a defined project in American Samoa focused on community and youth engagement, administered through the established partnership with American Conservation Experience. The posting date (creation date) is September 21, 2017, and there is no application deadline because the action is not open for competition.Apply for P17AS00847
