Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00802
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) posted a financial assistance notice of intent to award for a project titled "Assessing Mountain Lion Predation Risk to Endangered Bighorn Sheep." The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00802, was created on September 8, 2017, and falls within the Natural Resources funding activity category under CFDA 15.944. The planned funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The announcement also signals that this is a discretionary award and that NPS anticipates making a single award.
This notice is not a request for applications and is not being competed. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS intends to award Cooperative Agreement P17AC01658 directly to the Integral Ecology Research Center. Because it is a non-competitive action, there is no application package to submit and no closing date in the typical sense; the listing explicitly states that it is not a request for applications. Although the general eligibility category referenced is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the practical effect here is informational only, since NPS has already identified the intended recipient organization.
The purpose of the project, as reflected in the title and description, is to assess the risk that mountain lion predation poses to endangered bighorn sheep. In practice, a project framed this way would typically involve field-based ecological research and analysis to understand when, where, and under what conditions mountain lions are most likely to prey on bighorn sheep, with the aim of informing management actions that support bighorn sheep recovery and conservation. Within the National Park Service context, this kind of work often supports science-based decision-making related to wildlife management, threatened and endangered species protection, and balancing predator-prey dynamics in park ecosystems.
The announcement provides an expected award amount up to an award ceiling of $69,996, with one award expected. In short, this posting is best understood as a transparency notice: NPS is informing the public that it plans to provide roughly $70,000 in cooperative agreement funding, without competition, to the Integral Ecology Research Center to carry out research and assessment activities focused on mountain lion predation risk to endangered bighorn sheep.Apply for P17AS00802
