Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00618
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project called "Ethnographic Overview and Traditional Associations Study of Channel Islands National Park and Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area." This notice is strictly a public announcement of the agency's plan to fund a specific project and recipient; it is not a solicitation or request for new applications. In other words, the NPS is not opening a competition for outside applicants and is instead proceeding with a planned award.
The funding will be provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement. The intended recipient is Portland State University, which is participating as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The CESU structure is commonly used by federal land-management agencies to collaborate with academic institutions and other partners on research and technical assistance projects, especially when specialized expertise and ongoing coordination are needed.
As indicated by the title, the project focuses on ethnography and traditional associations connected to two NPS units: Channel Islands National Park and Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. An "ethnographic overview" in the NPS context typically involves compiling and analyzing information about the peoples and communities who have historical and ongoing cultural ties to a park area, including the ways they have used, valued, and related to those landscapes over time. A "traditional associations study" generally documents continued cultural relationships and connections, which can include traditional uses, place-based knowledge, cultural practices, and community or tribal affiliations with specific sites or resources. This type of work often supports park planning, interpretation, resource stewardship, and consultation responsibilities by giving park managers a clearer, well-documented understanding of associated communities and the cultural significance of places within park boundaries.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action under the funding activity category labeled "Other," and it is associated with CFDA number 15.945. Eligibility is described as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the named partner university. The opportunity number is P19AS00618, and the specific cooperative agreement referenced is P19AC01240 under the broader CESU cooperative and joint venture agreement P16AC00003. The notice lists an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $257,059. The posting date (creation date) is September 17, 2019, and the "closing date" field reiterates that the notice is not a request for applications, reinforcing that there is no open application window.
Overall, this announcement serves as transparency documentation that the NPS plans to make a sole-source-style cooperative agreement award to Portland State University, through the Pacific Northwest CESU, to conduct ethnographic and traditional association research relevant to Channel Islands National Park and Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, with a total funding amount up to $257,059 and only one anticipated award.Apply for P19AS00618
