Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00454
This funding opportunity, titled "Quantifying the effects of the 2016 Coyote Fire on fuel loading and forest structure in Guadalupe National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00454), is a discretionary grant action issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. The activity falls under the Natural Resources funding category (CFDA 15.944) and is intended to support work that measures and documents how the 2016 Coyote Fire changed on-the-ground forest conditions, specifically focusing on fuel loading (the amount and distribution of burnable material such as downed wood, leaf litter, and other biomass) and forest structure (the arrangement and characteristics of vegetation, including tree density, canopy layers, and stand composition) within Guadalupe National Park.
The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. In practice, that usually means close coordination on study design, field methods, data management, analysis approaches, and/or how results are translated into management actions. The purpose of the work is aligned with post-fire assessment and land management needs: understanding how a specific wildfire event altered fuels and vegetation structure can inform future fire management decisions, hazard mitigation planning, ecosystem restoration priorities, and monitoring strategies in the park.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1 and an expected number of awards of 1, which, combined with the stated closing detail, indicates this is not a competitive open solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly marked as a "Notice of Intent to Award - not a request for applications." That wording typically means the agency has already identified an intended recipient (often based on prior collaboration, unique qualifications, or an established partnership) and is publishing the notice to meet transparency and public reporting requirements rather than to invite proposals from the broader community.
The opportunity was created on June 28, 2017, and it is structured as a single anticipated award administered by the National Park Service. Overall, the project focus is a targeted scientific assessment tied to a specific event (the 2016 Coyote Fire) and a specific location (Guadalupe National Park), with the expected output being quantifiable information on changes in fuels and forest structure that can be used to guide management, improve understanding of fire effects, and strengthen future planning for similar disturbances.Apply for P17AS00454
