Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00276
The grant opportunity titled "Repair Burro Exclusion fencing & Restoration of Springs" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00276) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior discretionary funding action focused on natural resource protection and restoration at Mojave National Preserve (MOJA). The core purpose is to support on-the-ground repair of burro exclusion fencing around ten springs within the preserve, while also creating a structured, hands-on professional development experience for an early-career scientist. These springs are described as fragile desert wetlands, and the fencing repairs are intended to reduce ongoing ecological damage caused by burros, helping stabilize and restore these sensitive water-dependent habitats so they can better support native wildlife.
The work is framed as a collaborative field project between personnel from the Great Basin Institute (GBI) and the National Park Service. Beyond basic fence repair, the project emphasizes active restoration of the spring sites in remote desert conditions, meaning participants should expect rugged, field-based work and practical conservation problem-solving rather than classroom-style training. A central element of the project is mentorship: the early-career scientist is expected to gain real-world experience through close coordination with GBI and NPS staff, with additional opportunities to participate in other resource management projects at MOJA as time and needs allow. In other words, the project is not just about infrastructure maintenance; it is also explicitly designed as a training and career-building assignment tied to broader conservation and education goals.
Administratively, the funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, signaling a partnership model where NPS and the recipient organization work together on project execution rather than a more hands-off grant relationship. The eligible applicant type listed is nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $47,758. However, it is important to note that this posting is labeled as a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" and explicitly states it is not a request for applications. The announcement serves as public notice that NPS intends to fund the project under an existing cooperative agreement with GBI, and it lists expected awards as 0, indicating there is no open competition associated with this notice and no new awards anticipated through an application process.
The opportunity was created on May 18, 2017, and is categorized under CFDA 15.931, which aligns with NPS-related assistance programs. Overall, the project is a targeted restoration and protection effort aimed at preserving spring ecosystems in Mojave National Preserve by repairing exclusion fencing to limit burro impacts, while simultaneously building early-career capacity through mentored, field-based conservation work carried out jointly by GBI and the National Park Service.Apply for P17AS00276
