Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00473

The funding opportunity titled "SW EPMT Collaborative Restoration Projects for Guadalupe Mountains NP and Pecos NHS" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00473) is a National Park Service award under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on collaborative restoration work supporting two specific park units: Guadalupe Mountains National Park and Pecos National Historical Site. The opportunity sits within the National Park Service context and is categorized as a discretionary grant action, meaning it is issued at the agency's discretion rather than through a formula-based distribution.

This award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which is important because it generally indicates substantial involvement by the National Park Service in carrying out the project. In practical terms, a cooperative agreement usually involves ongoing coordination, shared responsibilities, and close collaboration between the recipient and the federal agency during project implementation, as opposed to a more hands-off grant structure.

The listed CFDA number is 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service financial assistance programs. The activity category is labeled "Other," with a note that further clarification would normally be provided in an accompanying explanation field; however, from the title and description, the core intent is clearly tied to restoration and collaborative resource work at the two named park sites.

Eligibility is shown as "Others," with the additional eligibility details pointing to a specific arrangement rather than open competition. In fact, the notice explicitly states that this is a "Notice of Intent to Award" to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas under Master Agreement P11AC8R001, and that it is not a request for applications. That means this posting is not inviting proposals from the general public or from a broad set of eligible organizations. Instead, it is announcing the agency's intent to make a single award to a designated partner under an existing master agreement framework.

In terms of funding size and scale, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $30,000 and anticipates one award. The posting date (Creation Date) is July 27, 2018. Because it is not a competitive solicitation, the "closing date" field is effectively replaced by the notice language indicating the intended recipient and the underlying master agreement, rather than providing a standard deadline for submitting applications.

Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a small, targeted cooperative agreement intended to support collaborative restoration-related efforts connected to Guadalupe Mountains National Park and Pecos National Historical Site, implemented through an existing partnership mechanism with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas rather than through an open application process.
