Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00423
The Vegetation Monitoring and Restoration at Joshua Tree National Park opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00423) is a National Park Service project focused on protecting and better understanding the park's desert vegetation as it changes over time. Joshua Tree National Park contains a range of ecosystems that reflect both the Mojave and Colorado Deserts, and the plant communities in these environments are described as distinctive but increasingly affected by multiple stressors. The project is designed to address those pressures by strengthening how the park monitors vegetation conditions and by carrying out restoration-related work intended to help preserve native plant communities.
The core purpose of the project is collaborative, practical field work that improves the park's ability to track vegetation trends and respond to damage. The description emphasizes that vegetation is being threatened by climate change, nitrogen deposition, invasions of non-native plants, and damage associated with off-highway vehicle incursions. In response, personnel from the Great Basin Institute (GBI) and Joshua Tree National Park will work together to develop and implement a variety of monitoring and restoration protocols. In other words, the work is not just general research; it is aimed at creating and carrying out on-the-ground procedures that can be used to systematically measure vegetation conditions and guide actions that support recovery and long-term conservation.
From an administrative standpoint, this funding is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under the Natural Resources activity category, using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number provided is 15.931. The listed eligible applicant type is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with GBI's common role as a nonprofit partner supporting conservation field crews and applied science projects on public lands. The award ceiling is stated as $68,000, and the posting date (creation date) is June 22, 2017.
A key detail is that this notice is explicitly not a request for applications. The announcement is labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award and is intended to inform the public that the National Park Service will fund this work under an existing cooperative agreement with GBI. As a result, there is no open competition implied by the posting, no standard application window, and the expected number of awards is listed as 0 because the recipient and agreement mechanism are already established. The practical takeaway is that this is a transparency notice about planned funding for a defined partner-led effort to monitor and restore vegetation in Joshua Tree National Park, rather than an opportunity that new applicants can apply to.Apply for P17AS00423
