Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00814
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project called "Historic and Contemporary Tribal Uses and Issues in the Lower Columbia Region." This notice functions as a public announcement that NPS plans to make an award without using a full, open, competitive application process. In other words, it is not a solicitation and it is not asking organizations to submit proposals. Instead, it is a transparency step to inform the public about NPS's intent to fund a specific set of activities through a cooperative agreement.
The planned award is identified under Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00814 and will be made using a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates an assistance relationship where the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the associated CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 15.945, which corresponds to NPS assistance programs. The anticipated project appears aimed at researching, documenting, and/or analyzing tribal uses and related issues in the Lower Columbia region, with an emphasis on both historical and contemporary dimensions. While the notice does not provide a detailed scope of work, the title suggests a focus on tribal connections to place, cultural practices, resource use, and ongoing concerns that may intersect with land and resource management in the region.
NPS intends to make one award (Expected Awards: 1) with a maximum funding amount (Award Ceiling) of $23,794. The recipient named in the notice is Portland State University, operating as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are collaborative networks that connect federal agencies with universities and other partners to support research, technical assistance, education, and related public-purpose projects. The notice references Cooperative Agreement P17AC01691 as the specific agreement vehicle for this work, indicating that the project is intended to proceed through that established partnership structure.
Eligibility information in the source data lists "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," which is consistent with the selection of Portland State University. However, because this is explicitly not a request for applications and the award is intended to be made without full and open competition, the eligibility category is informational rather than an invitation for other entities to apply. The opportunity was created on September 12, 2017, and the "closing date" is effectively not applicable because there is no competitive application period.
Overall, this notice is best understood as an administrative announcement: NPS is signaling its intent to fund a single, university-led project under a cooperative agreement to address topics related to tribal uses and issues in the Lower Columbia region, for a relatively small, defined amount of funding, using an established federal-university partnership framework rather than an open call for proposals.Apply for P17AS00814
