Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00460
The grant opportunity titled "Cooperative Research and Education Partnership between The Pennsylvania State University and The National Park Service" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00460) is a discretionary funding action issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to be actively involved alongside the recipient in carrying out the supported work, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement. The listed activity category is "Employment, Labor and Training," and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which is commonly used for NPS assistance programs that support conservation, research, and resource management activities.
At its core, the purpose of this specific task agreement is to maintain and advance a long-standing cooperative research and education relationship that has been in place for more than 40 years. The partnership links Pennsylvania State University (PSU), specifically units within the College of Agricultural Sciences including the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management and the Department of Plant Pathology/Environmental Microbiology, with NPS Northeast Region natural resource science and management personnel. In practical terms, the funding is intended to keep that established collaboration functioning by supporting joint research and educational efforts that help NPS science staff address natural resource questions and management needs in national parks across the Northeast Region.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications and not an open competition. Instead, it is a "Notice of Intent to Fund Only," which indicates the project or agreement was previously competed and the agency is announcing its intention to make an award to a specific recipient without soliciting new proposals. As a result, while the eligibility field lists "Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education," the context makes clear that the funding action is tied to an existing, previously competed arrangement and is expected to result in a single award. The opportunity anticipated one award ("ExpectedAwards: 1") with an award ceiling of $43,681, reflecting a modest, targeted investment aimed at continuing ongoing cooperative work rather than launching a large new program.
The timeline reinforces that this is an administrative notice rather than a broad solicitation. The opportunity was created on June 29, 2017, with an original closing date of July 9, 2017. That short window is typical of intent-to-award postings, where the agency fulfills public notice requirements but is not collecting applications from the general public. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a continuation funding action designed to sustain a mature research-and-education partnership between PSU scientific departments and NPS Northeast Region resource professionals, supporting applied science, training, and collaboration that directly informs park management and stewardship.Apply for P17AS00460
