Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00264
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service announced a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity called "NOTICE OF INTENT: Youth Experience in Management of Invasive Species and Hazardous Fuels" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00264; CFDA 15.931). Posted on June 12, 2019, with an original closing date of June 22, 2019, the notice anticipated making one award with a maximum federal funding level (award ceiling) of $91,056. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the expectation that applicants would need to review the opportunity's additional eligibility language to confirm whether their organization type qualifies.
At its core, the project is designed to create hands-on work, education, and training opportunities for young adults by engaging them directly in natural resource management activities in southern Arizona. The overarching purpose is both workforce development and on-the-ground conservation work: interns are intended to build practical, field-based skills while simultaneously helping reduce wildfire risk and improve ecosystem health in landscapes that are vulnerable to invasive plants and hazardous fuel buildup.
The project goals focus on providing interns with practical experience across several related areas of land management. A major emphasis is on managing non-native (invasive) plant species, which can displace native vegetation, change fire behavior, and reduce biodiversity. Another key goal is reducing fuel loads, meaning the removal or treatment of vegetation that can carry and intensify wildfire. Interns are also expected to gain experience in mitigating wildfire damage, which can include post-fire stabilization activities and other measures aimed at reducing longer-term ecological harm. In addition, the work includes restoring native plant species, reinforcing healthy plant communities that are better adapted to local conditions and often more supportive of native wildlife. The notice also signals that interns may be exposed to a wider range of resource management techniques beyond these headline items, suggesting a broader training experience than a single narrow task.
The project objectives describe the task agreement as a way to support and stimulate meaningful employment and training for young adults through collaborative participation in managing flammable vegetation, preventing wildfire damage, and protecting and restoring biological diversity in southern Arizona. In practice, that objective ties together three outcomes: building a conservation workforce pipeline, actively treating landscapes to lower wildfire risk, and improving ecological resilience by maintaining or restoring diverse native plant communities.
The notice also highlights additional public and ecological benefits that come along with the primary work. By treating fuels and invasive species, the project can help protect fire-sensitive native vegetation that may not recover well after intense burns. It also aims to improve public safety and help protect adjacent private property in the Wildland Urban Interface, the zone where communities and development meet or intermingle with wildland vegetation and where wildfire risks to people and structures are typically highest. Overall, the opportunity is framed as a partnership-based effort that uses youth internships as a mechanism to deliver both immediate land-management results and longer-term benefits through training and career exposure in conservation and wildfire-related work.Apply for P19AS00264
