Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00285
The Yellowstone Controlled Ground Water Area Long Term Monitoring opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00285) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award a cooperative agreement, rather than an open call for proposals. In practical terms, it is published to publicly document that the Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, plans to provide financial assistance for a specific project focused on long-term monitoring activities in the Yellowstone Controlled Ground Water Area. Because the announcement is explicitly not a request for applications, it is not structured as a competitive funding opportunity where multiple organizations submit proposals for review; instead, it signals the agency's intention to move forward with an award that is already anticipated.
The instrument type listed is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The activity categories attached to the opportunity span education, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development, which reflects the applied research and monitoring nature of groundwater work in and around Yellowstone. The listing is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number 15.954, tying it to the National Park Service's broader financial assistance portfolio.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the intended recipient must be a qualifying public university or similar state-affiliated higher education institution. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $177,434, suggesting a defined scope of work and budget consistent with a targeted monitoring effort rather than a broad, multi-recipient program. The notice was created on June 18, 2019, and is labeled as a National Park Service financial assistance notice of intent to award, reinforcing that its purpose is transparency and public notification, not solicitation.Apply for P19AS00285
