Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00444
The opportunity titled "Assessing Endangered Black Abalone Recruitment at Channel Islands National Park, Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate National Recreation Area" is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award federal funding through a cooperative agreement. It is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities with a specific recipient, without using full and open competition.
The issuing agency is the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the work (for example, coordination on study design, access to park sites, integration with ongoing monitoring, data management expectations, or joint interpretation of results). The funding activity category is Natural Resources, aligning the project with conservation and resource management needs in national park units.
The intended recipient is the Regents of the University of California, Santa Cruz (UC Santa Cruz). This award is being made under the framework of the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CALI-CESU), specifically under Cooperative and Joint Venture Agreement NPS-CALI-CESU-2018. CESU partnerships are commonly used by the Department of the Interior to connect federal land management agencies with universities and other partners to conduct applied research, monitoring, and technical assistance that support stewardship of public lands and waters.
The project focus is on recruitment of the endangered black abalone, meaning the work is aimed at understanding and assessing the presence, frequency, or success of new individuals entering the population, often through settlement and early survival stages. Recruitment is a critical factor in recovery of threatened or endangered marine invertebrates because even if adult individuals remain, populations can continue to decline if young abalone are not successfully replenishing the population. The work is planned across three NPS-managed coastal park units in California: Channel Islands National Park, Point Reyes National Seashore, and Golden Gate National Recreation Area. By spanning multiple locations, the project can help the NPS compare patterns across sites that differ in ocean conditions, habitat, exposure, and potential stressors, supporting broader understanding of where and when recruitment is happening and what that might imply for recovery planning and management actions.
Administrative details included in the notice identify the funding opportunity number as P19AS00444 and reference the cooperative agreement number P19AC00930. The CFDA (now commonly referenced under Assistance Listings) number is 15.945, which corresponds to NPS assistance programs. The posting date (creation date) is July 30, 2019. The anticipated award amount ceiling is $47,235, and the expected number of awards is one, consistent with the stated intent to fund a single, named partner for the described work.
Eligibility information is also provided, listing eligible applicants as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. In practice, however, this posting does not function as a competitive opportunity because the NPS explicitly states there is no application process and the notice is only to inform the public of the intent to make this non-competitive award to UC Santa Cruz through the CALI-CESU partnership mechanism.Apply for P19AS00444
