Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00477
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, published this notice to inform the public of its intent to make a single discretionary cooperative agreement award for a paleontological project at Channel Islands National Park. The opportunity is titled "Excavation and Research of a Fossil Locality on Santa Rosa Island at Channel Islands National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00477) and was posted on July 27, 2018. Importantly, the announcement is a Notice of Intent to Award, not a competitive grant solicitation, meaning the NPS is not requesting or accepting applications through this posting.
The planned award supports activities carried out under Task Agreement P18AC00955, which sits under a broader master Cooperative Agreement (P16AC01584) with the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. In practical terms, the NPS is signaling that it intends to fund a specific partner to conduct defined work connected to a fossil locality on Santa Rosa Island. The work implied by the title includes on-the-ground excavation and related scientific research, which typically involves documenting the site context, carefully recovering fossil materials, and conducting analysis and reporting that help the park understand and manage its paleontological resources.
This funding action is categorized under Natural Resources, with an additional "Other" classification as noted in the opportunity metadata. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA number 15.946, which corresponds to National Park Service cooperative ecosystem studies and related resource work. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, indicating that NPS expects substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing funds at arm's length. That generally means coordination on research design, field logistics and compliance, resource protection requirements, curation standards, and delivery of final products that serve park management needs.
The notice indicates an award ceiling of $50,000 and an expectation of one award. Eligibility, as listed in the public notice, is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is not an open competition and is tied to an existing cooperative agreement framework with a named partner organization, the eligibility field functions more as a classification detail than an invitation for other organizations to apply. There is no application deadline because the posting is strictly for transparency about the NPS intent to fund the specified project with the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.Apply for P18AS00477
