Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0107
The Youth Control Invasive Exotic Plants at Hampton National Historic Site opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0107) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Its purpose is to support hands-on youth workforce training tied to natural and cultural resource stewardship at Hampton National Historic Site. The project focuses on invasive and exotic plant management within the park's 64-acre cultural landscape, with work guided by the site-specific cultural landscape treatment plan. In practical terms, the effort is meant to help prevent further spread of invasive plants that can displace native vegetation, alter historic landscape character, and increase long-term maintenance burdens.
A key point is that the announcement is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that NPS intends to make a task agreement award under an already-established, single-source justified master cooperative agreement (P15AC00399). That means the agency had a pre-identified partner framework in place and was not opening the project up for competitive proposals through this posting, even though it is presented in the format of a grant opportunity announcement.
The project itself is structured to provide opportunities for three youth participants to learn and practice methods used to control invasive or exotic plant species. The training and work are intended to occur in a way that aligns with the cultural landscape treatment plan, which typically emphasizes maintaining or restoring the historic character of landscapes while also addressing ecological health. The work also fits within a broader community-oriented public works model, partnering with an organization that builds local relationships through youth conservation or public works programming.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, indicating that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is listed as Employment, Labor and Training, reflecting that the core deliverable is not only vegetation management outcomes, but also youth development, skills-building, and workforce experience in conservation and stewardship.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The posted award ceiling is $26,163, and NPS anticipated making one award. The notice was created on August 1, 2018, with an original closing date of August 10, 2018, which in this context functions more as an administrative timeline for the public notice rather than a true application deadline, since the award was intended to be made under a single-source cooperative agreement structure. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service-related assistance listings.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0107
