Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00938
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a public notice titled "Indigenous Interpretation and Tribal Partnership" under funding opportunity number P18AS00938 (also referenced as P18AC00938 in the description). The notice was created on July 14, 2018, with an original closing date of July 24, 2018. Although it appears in the format of a grant opportunity announcement, it is explicitly not a request for applications and does not invite the public to apply.
Instead, the purpose of the posting is to inform the public that NPS intends to enter into a cooperative agreement with a specific partner organization, Hopa Mountain, and that the agreement is described as a "zero dollar" cooperative agreement. In practical terms, "zero dollar" indicates that the agreement does not include federal financial assistance (no grant funds are being awarded through this instrument), even though it uses the cooperative agreement framework. Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the activity being carried out, but in this case the notice does not provide additional detail about the planned work beyond the title, which suggests activities connected to Indigenous interpretation and building or supporting tribal partnerships.
The announcement lists an award ceiling of $0, with one expected award. Eligibility is effectively not open because the notice is not competitive; it is a public notice of intent to award to a named organization rather than a solicitation. The activity category and opportunity category are both listed as "Other," and the CFDA number provided is 15.954, which is associated with National Park Service programs.
Overall, this posting functions as an administrative transparency notice rather than a funding opportunity. It signals that NPS plans to formalize a collaboration with Hopa Mountain related to Indigenous interpretation and tribal partnership work, without providing grant dollars and without soliciting applications from other entities.Apply for P18AS00938
