Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00341
The funding opportunity titled "Coordination and Outreach for the Southern Arizona Resilient Landscape Collaborative" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00341) is a discretionary grant issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.945). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, such as collaborating on planning, providing technical input, and coordinating deliverables rather than simply issuing funds with minimal oversight.
This posting is not an open call for applications. The notice indicates an intent to award specifically to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum under Master Agreement P18AC00615, and it explicitly states it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means other organizations are not being invited to apply through a competitive process for this particular award, even though the opportunity is presented in a standard grant-opportunity format.
The purpose of the award, as reflected in the title and brief description, is to support coordination and outreach efforts for the Southern Arizona Resilient Landscape Collaborative. While the notice does not provide programmatic details beyond that, the emphasis on "coordination and outreach" typically points to work such as convening partners, facilitating communication among agencies and stakeholders, supporting collaborative planning, organizing meetings or workshops, and sharing information with the public or participating organizations to advance landscape-scale resilience goals in southern Arizona.
Eligibility for the award is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. However, because the notice is an intent to award to a named organization and not a competitive solicitation, the eligibility category is more a description of the recipient type than an invitation for additional applicants.
The anticipated funding level is modest and clearly defined: an award ceiling of $73,100 with one expected award. The opportunity record was created on June 18, 2018, and the "closing date" field is effectively replaced by the intent-to-award language, reinforcing that the action is administrative and non-competitive rather than a time-bound application opportunity.Apply for P18AS00341
