Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOIVALL1701402
This notice describes the National Park Service's intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award to Los Amigos de Valles Caldera to support ecosystem restoration and public interpretation work at Valles Caldera National Preserve. It is a discretionary funding action under the Department of the Interior, and it is being published as a formal "Notice of Intent to Award" under 505 DM 2.12. Because of that, it is not an open solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications; instead, it serves as advance public notice that the agency plans to fund a specific partner organization for a specific set of activities.
The opportunity is identified as "Ecosystem restoration and public interpretation programs with Los Amigos de Valles Caldera" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIVALL1701402). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as coordinating activities, providing technical guidance, collaborating on planning, or jointly managing implementation details. The activity area falls under Natural Resources, and the listed CFDA program number is 15.944, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance programs.
Only one award is anticipated, and the eligible applicant type listed is a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). In practical terms, the listing reflects that Los Amigos de Valles Caldera is the intended recipient, rather than a broad eligibility pool. The posting shows an original closing date of August 21, 2017, following a creation/posting date of August 11, 2017, which is typical for notices intended to satisfy public notification requirements rather than to run a competitive application period.
The scope of work, as stated, centers on two major themes at Valles Caldera National Preserve: ecosystem restoration and public interpretation programs. Ecosystem restoration in this context commonly includes efforts that improve and maintain the health of native landscapes and wildlife habitat, such as restoring degraded areas, supporting watershed and meadow health, addressing invasive species impacts, and other on-the-ground conservation actions aligned with preserve management goals. Public interpretation programs generally refer to educational and visitor-facing activities that help the public understand the preserve's natural and cultural resources, including interpretive talks, guided experiences, educational materials, and outreach that connects visitors and community members to restoration goals and conservation outcomes.
No award ceiling is specified in the listing (shown as 0), which often means the public notice record does not include a stated maximum amount even though funding may be planned internally. Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a targeted, non-competitive cooperative agreement announcement from the National Park Service to fund Los Amigos de Valles Caldera to help carry out restoration and interpretation work at Valles Caldera National Preserve, and it is posted primarily to document the agency's intent rather than to invite applications.Apply for NPSNOIVALL1701402
