Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00214
The National Park Service (Department of the Interior) published a public notice for a discretionary cooperative agreement titled "Restoration of Natural Resources within Death Valley National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00214). The effort focuses on collaborative conservation work inside Death Valley National Park to identify, record, and repair areas that have been damaged by impacts such as off-road vehicle tracks and invasive plant species. The opportunity falls under the natural resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.931. The listed award ceiling is $399,999.
The core purpose of the project is hands-on assessment and restoration planning tied directly to on-the-ground conditions. Staff from the Great Basin Institute (GBI) and the National Park Service (NPS) are expected to work together to locate and document specific damaged sites across the park, then evaluate those sites to determine which ones should be addressed first. A major component involves compliance-oriented fieldwork: for the highest priority restoration locations, the team will conduct cultural resource surveys and surveys for sensitive species to support required environmental and historic preservation reviews, specifically NEPA and Section 106 considerations. This is meant to ensure restoration actions are appropriately designed, legally compliant, and avoid unintended harm to protected resources.
Beyond identifying and ranking damaged areas, the project includes developing and testing restoration methods tailored to site conditions. That means establishing and evaluating particular sites where techniques can be tried, refined, and compared, rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all approach will work across different landscapes and disturbance types. The project also includes an organized volunteer element, with coordination of youth volunteer groups to assist with restoration activities, expanding workforce capacity while building conservation experience and stewardship opportunities.
Finally, the project emphasizes tracking results over time and learning from outcomes. The partners will document both successes and failures for each project site, creating a record that can inform future restoration choices in Death Valley and potentially serve as a reference for similar work in other park units. In short, the funding notice describes a cooperative, field-based restoration program that combines inventory and prioritization, compliance surveys, restoration technique testing, youth volunteer engagement, and site-by-site reporting to support long-term natural resource protection in Death Valley National Park.
Administrative details in the notice make clear that this is not an open call for applications. The original closing date is described as a "Notice of Intent to Award," explicitly stating it is not a request for proposals and is being issued to provide public notice that NPS intends to fund the project under an existing cooperative agreement with GBI. Although eligibility is listed broadly as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), the practical implication of the notice is that the award is tied to that existing agreement rather than a competitive opportunity open to new applicants. Expected awards are listed as 0 in the announcement, consistent with a notice that functions as a transparency step rather than a solicitation.Apply for P19AS00214
