Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00485
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service issued a notice of intent for a discretionary cooperative agreement titled "Invasive plant management; organizing plant data and conducting field treatments on multiple invasive (exotic) plants" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00485). The activity is categorized under Education (CFDA 15.931) and is designed to support on-the-ground invasive plant management efforts while also building capacity for organizing and improving invasive plant data. Rather than functioning as an open competition, this announcement states it is not a request for applications and instead signals the agency's intent to make a restricted award to Conservation Legacy.
The core purpose of the project is to provide invasive plant management support for up to four Exotic Plant Management Teams. A central feature of the work is an intern position that will help these teams strengthen how invasive plant information is collected, organized, and maintained. This includes development and management of invasive plant datasets and related records, with an explicit emphasis on geographic information systems (GIS) data entry and input. In practice, that means the project is not only about field removal or treatment of invasive species, but also about ensuring that mapping and data systems accurately reflect what species are present, where they are located, and what management actions have been taken.
Field duties are also a significant component. The intern is expected to participate directly in invasive plant control work, which can include activities such as locating infestations, assisting with treatment operations, and supporting follow-up monitoring. The description also notes that the field work may extend into native re-vegetation, suggesting that restoration actions could be implemented where invasive species removal leaves disturbed ground that needs reseeding or planting to reduce reinvasion risk and support ecosystem recovery.
From an administrative standpoint, the award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the National Park Service in coordinating, guiding, or collaborating on project execution compared to a standard grant. The anticipated funding amount is capped at an award ceiling of $43,248, with one expected award. The opportunity was created on August 8, 2019. Eligibility categories listed include 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education) and other eligible entities as further clarified in the original posting, though this particular notice makes clear the agency planned a restricted award rather than soliciting proposals from the broader eligible pool.Apply for P19AS00485
