Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00587
The grant opportunity titled "Analyze New and Established Data to Develop Alternatives for Managing Hydrilla" is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior funding announcement focused on improving how hydrilla, an invasive aquatic plant, is managed within the Obed Wild and Scenic River (Obed WSR). The central purpose of the project is not to fund on-the-ground eradication work directly, but to strengthen decision-making by pulling together multiple existing and newly collected sources of information and analyzing them side by side. By cross-referencing these data sets, the project aims to identify which locations should be treated as the highest priorities for hydrilla management or control, helping managers target limited resources where they will do the most good and reduce unintended impacts on sensitive species and habitats.
A key feature of the opportunity is the emphasis on combining three distinct, high-quality data sets maintained by Obed WSR. Each data set is described as thorough and valuable on its own, but the NPS is specifically interested in the added benefit that comes from integrating them into a single analytical framework. The combined product is expected to provide clearer, more management-relevant insights than any single data set could offer alone. The announcement also highlights that the results will support not only hydrilla prioritization but also conservation planning for listed mussels and fish, meaning the analysis should help park staff understand where hydrilla control intersects with habitats used by protected aquatic species and where management actions should be approached cautiously or urgently.
Administratively, this opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA number 15.945, within the Natural Resources activity category. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaborating on scope, methods, data interpretation, or deliverables, rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The award ceiling was $35,000, setting the maximum funding level for a project under this announcement. The opportunity was created on August 27, 2018, and had an original closing date of September 6, 2018, indicating a short application window. The listing shows expected awards as 0, which often reflects how the opportunity was recorded in the system rather than a guarantee that no awards would be made, but it signals that applicants should not assume multiple awards or large-scale funding.
Eligibility was open to private institutions of higher education and other applicants as further clarified in the full eligibility text of the announcement. In practical terms, the project is well-suited to a university, research group, or similar entity with skills in data management, spatial analysis (such as GIS), ecological risk assessment, and translating technical analysis into usable management recommendations. Overall, the grant is best understood as a targeted, modestly funded research-and-synthesis effort designed to turn scattered information into a more strategic hydrilla management plan that also accounts for the needs of sensitive mussel and fish populations within the Obed WSR.Apply for P18AS00587
