Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00393
The Redwood Creek Habitat Enhancement Data Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00393) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources activity area (CFDA 15.944) and was created on June 16, 2017, with an original closing date of July 3, 2017. The National Park Service issued this posting as a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open call for proposals, meaning it was not requesting new applications from the public. Instead, it served as formal public notice that the agency planned to fund a specific project under an existing cooperative agreement with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (GGNPC).
The project’s purpose is to support native plant restoration work and, just as importantly, to strengthen the data systems that track and document that restoration. The work centers on the Redwood Creek watershed and can extend to other locations within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA). The core emphasis is collaboration between partners to improve how habitat restoration information is collected, organized, managed, and shared. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at making restoration data more consistent, more usable for planning and evaluation, and easier to access for long-term stewardship and public transparency.
The expected outcomes are twofold. First, better data management is intended to improve restoration effectiveness across the park, allowing land managers and restoration practitioners to learn from prior efforts, compare results across sites, and make more informed decisions about what techniques work best under different conditions. Second, the effort is designed to improve the quality of restoration data that is available publicly, which supports accountability and enables researchers, partner organizations, and community stakeholders to understand and potentially build upon the work being done in the watershed and across the GGNRA.
Eligibility information in the notice identifies qualified applicants as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications and is tied to an existing cooperative agreement, the practical effect is that the National Park Service anticipated making one award to a specified partner rather than selecting among multiple competing applicants. The notice lists an expected single award with a ceiling of $150,000, reflecting the maximum anticipated federal funding level for the task agreement described.Apply for P17AS00393
