Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00491
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, published a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Restoring Watershed and Enhancing Habitat in Partnership with Redwood Rising." This announcement is not a request for applications and does not invite competitive proposals. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that NPS intends to move forward with a specific, pre-identified award without full and open competition, using a cooperative agreement mechanism.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00491 and falls within the "Discretionary" opportunity category. The selected funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the work, such as active coordination, shared project management responsibilities, or direct participation in implementation and oversight. The activity category is Natural Resources, aligning the work with conservation, restoration, and habitat-focused outcomes. The associated CFDA number is 15.944, which corresponds to National Park Service natural resource stewardship and related assistance programming.
NPS states its intent to fund the work through Cooperative Agreement P19AC01003 with Save the Redwoods League, meaning the partner organization has already been identified and the award pathway is predetermined. The anticipated funding level is up to an award ceiling of $4,300,000, and the expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this is a single-recipient, non-competitive action. The posting date (creation date) is August 13, 2019, and there is no application closing date because the notice is informational rather than a solicitation.
At a high level, the project scope described by the title centers on watershed restoration and habitat enhancement carried out in partnership under the broader Redwood Rising initiative. While the notice does not provide detailed task lists or performance milestones, the framing suggests on-the-ground ecological restoration work designed to improve watershed function (such as hydrology, water quality, erosion control, and stream or riparian conditions) and strengthen wildlife and plant habitat conditions across redwood ecosystems. The partnership aspect signals coordinated implementation between NPS and Save the Redwoods League, consistent with the cooperative agreement structure.
The eligible applicant field lists "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." In practice, however, because this is a Notice of Intent to Award for a specific cooperative agreement with a named partner, the eligibility category does not operate like an open competition; it is included as part of the standardized opportunity record rather than as an invitation for others to apply. Overall, the announcement functions as a transparency notice: NPS is documenting its plan to fund a single restoration and habitat enhancement project with Save the Redwoods League under Redwood Rising, with a maximum federal investment of $4.3 million and substantial federal involvement expected during project execution.Apply for P19AS00491
