Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00394
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public notice titled "Connecting Youth to Conservation Opportunities at Lewis & Clark National Historical Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00394). This notice is specifically a Notice of Intent rather than an open call for proposals, meaning it is not requesting applications and submissions are not expected through the announcement itself. Instead, its purpose is to inform the public that NPS intends to make a financial assistance award connected to conservation work at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, and that additional details are available in the supporting documentation referenced in the notice.
The anticipated award will be made as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project activities alongside the recipient, rather than simply providing funds with minimal agency participation. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is associated with the employment, labor, and training activity area, signaling that the project focus is likely to combine on-the-ground conservation work with workforce development elements such as youth engagement, job skills training, and supervised practical experience tied to park stewardship.
Eligibility for the intended financial assistance is limited to nonprofit organizations that hold IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The notice indicates an expected single award, with a maximum funding amount (award ceiling) of $27,305. The announcement was created on July 3, 2018, with an original closing date listed as July 13, 2018; in the context of a notice of intent, that date functions more as an administrative timeline marker than a typical application deadline for competitive submissions.
The opportunity references CFDA number 15.931 (a federal assistance listing associated with National Park Service programs), and the overall framing suggests the project is intended to connect youth to conservation-related opportunities at the park. In practical terms, this commonly involves engaging young people in resource stewardship activities that may include habitat restoration, trail or site maintenance, invasive species control, and other hands-on conservation tasks, paired with mentorship and training that helps participants build early career experience in conservation, public lands management, or related fields. For full specifics on the intended recipient, project scope, or partnership arrangements, the notice directs readers to consult the supporting documentation accompanying the Notice of Intent.Apply for P18AS00394
