Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00584
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project called "Experimental Restoration of Rare Plants and Native Hawaiian Ecosystems." This notice is meant to inform the public that NPS plans to provide funding for a specific set of restoration activities through a cooperative agreement, and it is explicitly not a request for applications. In other words, the opportunity is not open for competitive proposals; it is a public disclosure that NPS intends to move forward with a predetermined partner and award.
The planned award is a discretionary cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00584) tied to natural resources work and listed under CFDA 15.945. The agreement referenced in the notice is Cooperative Agreement P19AC01125, and the identified recipient is the University of Hawaii. The University of Hawaii is participating as a partner under the Hawaii-Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (Hawaii-Pacific Islands CESU), operating under a broader cooperative and joint venture agreement (NPS-HIPI-CESU-2019). This CESU framework is commonly used by federal land management agencies to collaborate with university and research partners on applied science, technical assistance, and resource stewardship projects.
Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $449,881 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The posting date (Creation Date) is August 28, 2019, and instead of a standard application deadline, the listing states "THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," reinforcing that there is no open closing date because the agency is not soliciting proposals from outside parties.
In terms of who could be eligible in general under this type of listing, the opportunity metadata identifies eligible applicants as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. However, the narrative makes clear that the intent is to fund this work without full and open competition, meaning the NPS has already selected the University of Hawaii for this particular project under the CESU partnership structure. The overall purpose, as reflected in the title, is to support experimental restoration work focused on rare plant species and the recovery or strengthening of native Hawaiian ecosystems, which typically involves testing restoration methods, improving survival and establishment of native plants, and generating practical findings that can be applied to on-the-ground conservation and habitat management in Hawaii.Apply for P19AS00584
