Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00411
The funding opportunity titled "Geomorphic assessment of the Tuolumne River in Tuolumne Meadows" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00411) is a discretionary National Park Service notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior on July 22, 2019. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expects to remain actively involved in the work in some way rather than simply providing a hands-off grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, and it falls under CFDA 15.945, a federal assistance listing commonly associated with National Park Service support for natural and cultural resource projects.
This notice is explicitly not a call for proposals and not open for competitive applications. Instead, it functions as a public transparency announcement that the National Park Service intends to make a specific award under Cooperative Agreement P19AC00882 to the University of California, Santa Barbara. In other words, the agency is signaling that it already has an identified partner and a defined scope of work, and it is publishing the notice to document its intent to fund that work.
The project focus is a geomorphic assessment of the Tuolumne River in Tuolumne Meadows. A geomorphic assessment typically involves studying the physical form and processes of a river system, such as channel shape and stability, sediment movement, erosion and deposition patterns, floodplain connectivity, bank conditions, and how the river corridor changes over time. In a place like Tuolumne Meadows, which is a high-elevation meadow and river system within Yosemite National Park, this kind of work is often tied to understanding natural river dynamics, identifying areas of vulnerability, informing habitat protection, and supporting resource management decisions about how best to protect meadow and riparian systems.
The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $150,000 and anticipates a single award, consistent with the stated intent to fund one named recipient for one defined project. Eligible applicants are described broadly as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the selected recipient, the University of California, Santa Barbara. Because the announcement is not requesting applications, the posted "closing date" is effectively not applicable, and there is no application package or competition timeline associated with this notice.Apply for P19AS00411
