Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00080
This funding opportunity, titled "Examine Alpine Wildlife Distribution and Connectivity in Denali National Park and Preserve" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00080), is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. It was created on April 18, 2018, with an original application closing date of April 27, 2018, indicating a short turnaround window typical of narrowly scoped, project-specific federal research needs. The assistance listing (CFDA) associated with the opportunity is 15.945, and the activity area is classified under Environment and Natural Resources.
The National Park Service intends to make a single award under this announcement, with an expected award count of one and a maximum federal funding amount (award ceiling) of $280,000. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally signals that the agency anticipates having substantial involvement in the project. In practical terms, that often means NPS staff may collaborate on technical decisions, data coordination, study design refinements, field logistics, or interpretation and application of results to park management needs, rather than simply providing funds and receiving final reports.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. That typically includes state universities and similar public college systems, and it excludes most private universities, nonprofits, for-profit entities, and individuals unless they are part of an eligible applicant institution acting as the official applicant and project lead. Given the subject matter and eligibility restrictions, the opportunity appears designed to support an academic research team with expertise in wildlife ecology, landscape connectivity, alpine environments, and applied conservation science, ideally with experience working in Alaska and in partnership with federal land management agencies.
The project focus is on alpine wildlife distribution and connectivity within Denali National Park and Preserve. While the brief synopsis here references an attached document for full details, the title itself is informative about the intent: the work is expected to examine where alpine wildlife occurs across the landscape (distribution) and how animals move among habitat patches or along movement corridors (connectivity). In a place like Denali, alpine systems are extensive, remote, and sensitive to climate and land-use pressures, so research of this kind is commonly used to support long-term conservation planning, understand potential barriers to movement, and anticipate how shifting conditions could alter habitat use. Connectivity work in particular often informs decisions about protecting travel corridors, identifying pinch points, prioritizing monitoring locations, and interpreting how infrastructure or human activity might influence movement patterns.
Because the official description in the public synopsis states "See attached document for additional information," the core expectations, required deliverables, target species or taxa, data standards, reporting schedule, and any required coordination with NPS programs would be spelled out in that attachment. In many NPS cooperative agreements of this type, deliverables commonly include a work plan, periodic progress updates, a final technical report, and geospatial products such as GIS layers or maps, along with recommendations that can be translated into management actions. The emphasis on Denali also suggests a need for careful field planning and compliance with park research permitting, safety requirements for remote work, and data sharing protocols consistent with federal resource management practices.Apply for P18AS00080
