Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00056
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single discretionary award for a natural resources monitoring project focused on collared island foxes on three of the northern Channel Islands: Santa Cruz Island, Santa Rosa Island, and San Miguel Island. The project is titled "Monitor Collared Foxes on Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, and San Miguel Islands Using Aerial Telemetry," and the core activity is the use of aerial telemetry to locate and monitor foxes that have been fitted with radio collars. In practical terms, this kind of work supports wildlife management by helping park staff and partners keep track of animal movements, survival, and distribution across rugged island terrain where ground-based tracking can be difficult, time-consuming, or disruptive.
The opportunity is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a formal public notice that NPS plans to fund specific work already associated with an existing cooperative framework. The award is structured as a Task Agreement (P19AC00168) issued under a broader, pre-existing master Cooperative Agreement (P17AC01703) with The Nature Conservancy. That structure signals that the partner organization and agreement vehicle are already established, and the purpose of the posting is transparency about the government’s intention to proceed with that funded task rather than to open the project up for new applicants.
Administratively, the posting lists the Funding Opportunity Number as P19AS00056 and identifies the instrument as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency compared with a standard grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) is 15.944, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance programs. The eligible applicant type shown is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but because this is an intent-to-award notice tied to a named partner and an existing agreement, that eligibility language does not function as an open invitation for other organizations to apply in this case.
Funding details in the notice indicate an award ceiling of $45,000 and an expectation of one award. The posting date (creation date) is March 12, 2019, and there is no application closing date because no applications are being accepted. Overall, the notice is best read as a brief procurement-assistance transparency announcement: NPS is planning to direct up to $45,000 through a cooperative agreement task to The Nature Conservancy to carry out aerial telemetry monitoring of collared foxes on Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, and San Miguel Islands.Apply for P19AS00056
