Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00090
The funding opportunity titled "Implementation of Natural Reource Restoration Proejcts at Lake Mead NRA" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00090) is a Department of the Interior, National Park Service notice describing planned support for natural resource restoration work at Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.931) and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. While the listing identifies an eligible applicant category as nonprofits without IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), this particular announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award and not an open solicitation. In other words, it is not requesting applications; it is posted to publicly document that the National Park Service intends to fund a specific project under an existing cooperative agreement with GBI. The posting date is August 6, 2019, and it does not anticipate making new awards through competition (Expected Awards: 0).
The core purpose of the project is to implement hands-on restoration activities while building workforce experience through internships. The project goals emphasize that interns will participate in a range of restoration projects and will work directly alongside National Park Service staff, providing practical, field-based exposure to natural resources work. The internship component is a central feature, positioning the effort as both a restoration implementation project and a structured learning and career-development opportunity in the natural resources field.
The project objectives outline a broad set of on-the-ground tasks that support vegetation management and site rehabilitation across Lake Mead NRA. Interns, in collaboration with NPS employees, will help plan and carry out restoration work that includes reconstructing trails and decommissioning and rehabilitating abandoned roads and areas impacted by off-road vehicle use. The work also includes assessing, repairing, and constructing barriers intended to prevent unauthorized off-road travel and limit new disturbances. Additional objectives focus on wildlife and vegetation protection, including building or maintaining ungulate management fencing to reduce impacts from large herbivores in sensitive areas.
A major vegetation restoration component is included as well, covering native plant salvage and seed collection, native plant propagation, and outplanting efforts. The project also prioritizes rare plant monitoring, which typically involves field surveys and tracking the condition, distribution, and threats to sensitive plant populations. Another key objective is controlling invasive species by removing non-native invasive plants from rare plant locations and other vector areas where invasives are likely to spread. Taken together, these activities are meant to stabilize disturbed sites, protect sensitive resources, and improve habitat conditions through a mix of physical site restoration, preventative infrastructure, and active plant management.
Finally, the announcement makes clear that the outcomes are intended to directly support the Lake Mead NRA vegetation program and park decision-making. By completing these tasks and providing feedback on the status and results of the activities, the intern teams help park management understand what has been accomplished, what conditions are being observed on the ground, and what needs continued attention. The listed award ceiling is $91,086, reflecting the scale of the planned support for this specific, non-competitive cooperative agreement action rather than a broad grant competition.Apply for P19AS00090
