Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00790
The grant opportunity titled "Conduct geospatial analyses to assess habitat connectivity throughout the length of C&O Canal NHP" is a National Park Service task agreement focused on improving landscape-level conservation planning at Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. The park stretches about 184.5 miles and runs through a highly varied set of landscapes spanning four physiographic provinces, multiple counties in Maryland and West Virginia, and into the District of Columbia. Because the canal corridor crosses so many different landforms and ecological zones, it supports a wide mix of plant and wildlife communities and functions as a long, narrow habitat corridor that can help species move and persist across a broader region. At the same time, that complexity creates real management challenges, especially when decisions have to be made without consistent, high-quality spatial data.
The core purpose of the work is to use geospatial analysis to evaluate habitat connectivity along the entire length of the park. In practical terms, this means compiling and analyzing spatial datasets to understand how well habitats are linked together, where ecological movement pathways likely exist, and where barriers or gaps may disrupt connectivity. The announcement emphasizes that the park relies heavily on geospatial information to carry out resource management and conservation, particularly for biological resources at a landscape scale. The intent is to support better-informed management actions by providing a clearer, data-driven picture of how the park functions as a corridor, how it relates to nearby protected lands owned by state and county partners, and where conservation efforts could be prioritized for the greatest ecological benefit.
Administratively, this is a discretionary opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, using a cooperative agreement mechanism. The eligible applicants listed are public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, signaling that the work is expected to be carried out through an academic partner, likely involving applied research and technical GIS expertise. The funding opportunity number is P17AS00790, tied to CFDA 15.945, and the expected award count is one, with an award ceiling of $35,000. The announcement was created on September 7, 2017, with an original closing date of September 12, 2017.
A key detail is that this posting is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice of the National Park Service's intention to award a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement that was either previously competed or justified as single source. In other words, the agency is signaling its planned award path rather than opening a competitive application process. The takeaway is that the funding supports a defined, technical GIS effort to strengthen habitat connectivity understanding and decision-making for a long, ecologically diverse national historical park corridor, delivered through a university-type partner under a cooperative agreement structure.Apply for P17AS00790
