Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00421
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive award for a specific project at Redwood National Park focused on historical ecology and archaeology. It is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS plans to fund a defined set of activities through an existing partnership mechanism rather than conducting a full and open competitive solicitation.
The planned funding will be provided through a cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number and Agreement reference: P19AS00421) with Washington State University. Washington State University is participating as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a federal-university partnership structure often used by NPS to carry out research, technical assistance, and public-facing educational work. The eligible applicant category listed for the opportunity is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the selection of a university partner.
The project itself is titled "Historical Ecology to Understand Human Responses to Environmental and Climate Change: Research, National Register Nomination, and Public Interpretation of Two Archeological Sites at Redwood National Park." Based on that scope, the work is intended to combine research in historical ecology (linking ecological change over time with human land use and behavior) with archaeological investigation to better understand how people historically responded to environmental variability and climate-related change. A major deliverable implied by the title is preparation of National Register of Historic Places nomination materials for two archaeological sites within Redwood National Park, which typically involves documenting site significance, integrity, context, and boundaries in a format that meets National Register standards. Another key component is public interpretation, meaning the project is also expected to translate findings into materials or experiences for the public, such as interpretive content, outreach products, or other visitor-facing communication that explains the sites and the broader story of human-environment interactions.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary, with the funding activity category listed as natural resources and the CFDA number cited as 15.954. NPS anticipates making one award with an award ceiling of $33,456, indicating the total expected federal funding for this specific effort. The creation date of the notice is August 30, 2019, and there is no application closing date because the notice is not soliciting proposals; it is documenting NPS's intention to fund this project directly without full and open competition.Apply for P19AS00421
