Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00345
The Herpetofaunal Species Inventory and Assessment opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00345) is a discretionary funding action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.945) and is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s execution rather than functioning only as a pass-through funder. The core purpose, as stated by the title and description, is to support work focused on inventorying and assessing herpetofauna, meaning reptiles and amphibians, to better document species presence, distribution, and related resource conditions.
The eligible applicant pool is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. In practice, however, this posting is not an open competition. The notice indicates that no applications were requested because it is a Notice of Intent to Award to Utah State University under an existing Master Agreement (P17AC01073). That phrasing typically signals the agency has already identified the recipient and intends to proceed through a justified, non-competitive process tied to an established partnership mechanism, rather than soliciting proposals broadly.
The opportunity was created on July 2, 2019, with an original closing date listed as "No applications requested," reinforcing that this is an informational announcement of an intended award rather than a call for submissions. The expected number of awards is one, and the award ceiling is $41,058, indicating a relatively small, targeted project scope consistent with field surveys, inventories, data compilation, and assessment reporting tasks that support NPS natural resource management needs.Apply for P19AS00345
