Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00623
The grant opportunity titled "Implementation of Restoration Projects at Lake Mead NRA" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00623) is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on hands-on natural resource restoration work at Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Nevada. The project is built around a partnership with the Great Basin Institute (GBI), which operates the Nevada Conservation Corps (NCC). Through this effort, a corps crew made up of youth and young adults will carry out on-the-ground conservation and restoration tasks while receiving practical training, job experience, and environmental education. The overall intent is twofold: to improve and protect park resources through restoration activities and to develop a skilled conservation workforce by engaging younger participants in real field operations.
A key detail is that this posting functions as a public notice rather than an open competition. It is explicitly labeled a "Notice of Intent to Award" and states that it is not a request for applications. In other words, the NPS is announcing its plan to fund a specific project under an existing cooperative agreement with GBI rather than inviting new applicants to submit proposals. Even though the listing includes eligibility language typical of federal opportunities (nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear that the funding is intended to proceed through the current partnership arrangement already in place with GBI.
The activity category is Natural Resources, and the funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared with a standard grant. That aligns with the described structure of the work: NPS and GBI personnel will collaborate directly to implement restoration projects at Lake Mead NRA, with NCC crews performing field-based conservation work. Examples of the kinds of projects the NCC supports statewide include wildland fuels reduction and trail restoration, and this Lake Mead effort is positioned in that same practical restoration and stewardship space, emphasizing implementation rather than planning alone.
Financially, the announcement lists an award ceiling of $89,000. It also lists "Expected Awards: 0," which is consistent with the notice format because the intent is to fund a specific project under an existing agreement rather than make new competitive awards. The opportunity was created on August 7, 2017, with an original closing date of August 14, 2017, reflecting the short window typical of informational notices meant to satisfy public transparency requirements rather than to collect applications. The CFDA number provided is 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance listings.
In practical terms, the project supports conservation outcomes at Lake Mead National Recreation Area while advancing a workforce development and public service mission. By placing youth and young adults in structured, supervised restoration roles, the program is designed to produce tangible resource improvements and simultaneously build participant skills in conservation field techniques, teamwork, and environmental stewardship, reinforcing the public purpose of both resource protection and training.Apply for P17AS00623
