Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00832
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Engaging Youth in Fire Fuels Reduction Activities" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00832). This notice functions as a public announcement that NPS plans to fund a specific set of activities under an existing cooperative agreement structure, rather than as an open call for proposals. In practical terms, it is not an invitation for organizations to apply or compete for the funding; it is a transparency notice explaining that NPS intends to move forward with a defined partner and project under a pre-established agreement.
The funding is categorized as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to involve collaboration between NPS and the recipient organization, rather than a simple vendor-style purchase of services. The opportunity is associated with program areas tied to employment, labor and training, as well as natural resources, reflecting the dual purpose of the effort: supporting hands-on workforce development for young people while completing land management work that reduces wildfire risk. The listing references CFDA 15.931 (a federal assistance catalog identifier used at the time), which aligns the project with NPS assistance programming.
NPS indicates it expects to make one award, with an award ceiling of $40,000. The intended recipient is Conservation Corps North Bay, and the work is to be implemented through Task Agreement P17AC01644 under an existing Cooperative Agreement P15AC00008. That detail is important because it clarifies the administrative pathway: rather than creating a brand-new competitive grant, NPS is using an already-established cooperative relationship and issuing a task agreement to authorize and fund this particular project scope.
Although the notice does not provide detailed work plans, timelines, or performance measures in the text provided, the project title and context make the core intent clear. "Fire fuels reduction" generally refers to activities that reduce the amount or continuity of vegetation and other burnable materials that can feed wildfire behavior, especially in fire-prone landscapes. When paired with "engaging youth," the project is positioned as a conservation corps-style initiative where young participants gain job experience, training, and exposure to natural resource careers while carrying out practical field work that supports park or public land management objectives.
The notice was created on September 14, 2017. Because it is explicitly not a request for applications, there is no traditional application deadline or competitive submission process associated with the posting. Instead, the posting serves mainly to document NPSs intent to direct funding to the named partner for the specified fuels-reduction and youth engagement activities.Apply for P17AS00832
