Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00473
The National Park Service-Yellowstone Midway Geyser Basin/Fair Falls Trail Project (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00473) is a National Park Service notice announcing the agency's intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for work connected to the Midway Geyser Basin and Fair Falls Trail area in Yellowstone National Park. It is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and was posted on July 6, 2017. The announcement is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the public should not treat it like an open competition and should not expect an application period or an opportunity to submit proposals in response.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more hands-on federal role than a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement structure, the NPS generally anticipates substantial involvement in the project, such as coordination on technical decisions, planning, oversight, or implementation details. The activity areas tied to the funding are listed under Education and Natural Resources, suggesting the work is intended to support resource protection and visitor-related outcomes that can include interpretation, public use management, stewardship, or trail and site-related improvements consistent with NPS mission needs.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, this means the NPS has identified a type of partner organization it can work with under this agreement, but because the notice is non-competitive and not soliciting applications, the eligibility statement functions more as a public transparency point about who the intended recipient category is rather than an invitation for multiple organizations to apply.
Financially, the announcement indicates an award ceiling of $50,000 and anticipates one award. No application deadline is provided because there is no open solicitation; the "closing date" field reiterates that the purpose is public notice of intent to fund specific project activities without competition. The listing also references CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.931, which is associated with National Park Service assistance programs and provides a way to identify the broader federal funding authority and reporting context tied to this type of award.
Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a transparency notice: the National Park Service is signaling it plans to fund a defined set of Yellowstone-related trail and geothermal basin area project activities through one cooperative agreement, up to $50,000, with a qualified nonprofit partner, and it is doing so without conducting an open competition or accepting applications from the public.Apply for P17AS00473
