Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00778
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project called "Development of Dog Management Monitoring Program and Protocols for Golden Gate National Recreation Area." The notice is strictly informational and is meant to publicly document the NPS plan to fund specific work; it is not a solicitation and does not invite new applications or proposals. In practical terms, there is no open competition period and no application deadline because the agency has already identified the recipient and the project pathway.
The award is structured as a discretionary Cooperative Agreement, reflecting a partnership-style arrangement where NPS and the recipient are expected to have substantial involvement in the project. The cooperative agreement referenced is P17AC01603, and the intended recipient is Oregon State University. Oregon State University is participating as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a federal network designed to connect agencies like NPS with universities and other partners to conduct applied research, monitoring, and technical assistance for ecosystem and resource management needs.
The purpose of the project, as indicated by the title and activity category, is to develop a dog management monitoring program and the associated protocols for Golden Gate National Recreation Area. This aligns with the funding activity category of Natural Resources and suggests work focused on creating standardized, repeatable methods to track and evaluate conditions relevant to dog management in the park. While the notice does not list detailed tasks, projects of this type commonly involve designing monitoring frameworks, defining indicators and metrics, establishing field and data-collection procedures, setting quality assurance steps, and producing written protocols that park staff and partners can use consistently over time.
Administrative details in the notice show the opportunity number as P17AS00778 and identify the applicable CFDA number as 15.945, which is associated with National Park Service assistance programs. Eligible applicants are described broadly as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but because this is a notice of intent to award without full and open competition, the eligibility statement does not function like a standard competitive grant requirement. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $344,078, indicating the maximum federal funding anticipated for this single cooperative agreement action.
The notice was created on September 5, 2017, and it explicitly states that there is no original closing date because the announcement is not a request for applications. Overall, the document serves as a transparency measure: it records NPS intent to fund Oregon State University through the Pacific Northwest CESU for a defined natural resource management support project at Golden Gate National Recreation Area, centered on building monitoring program design and protocols to support dog management decisions and implementation.Apply for P17AS00778
