Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00129
The funding opportunity titled "NOTICE OF INTENT: Next Generation Ranger Reaches Out About Invasive Species" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00129) is a discretionary National Park Service program under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on natural resource management and youth development. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service expects to be actively involved alongside the recipient in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
At its core, the project is designed around placing and mentoring a young adult intern who will build real-world, on-the-ground experience in public-facing conservation work and invasive plant management. The intern is expected to work directly with park neighbors, park visitors, and other members of the public, gaining practical skills in communication, outreach, and collaborative problem-solving. On the resource management side, the intern will participate in efforts to manage non-native plant species, reduce hazardous fuel loads, and help mitigate wildfire impacts. The work also includes restoring native plant species and supporting broader resource management activities, with additional exposure to how other divisions within a park operate and coordinate their duties.
The objectives emphasize education, training, and workforce development as much as environmental outcomes. The task agreement is intended to support and stimulate work and learning opportunities for young adults through hands-on participation in addressing real management challenges in and around park lands. Mentorship is a central element: the intern will be guided in techniques related to managing flammable vegetation, preventing wildfire damage, and protecting and restoring biological diversity in southern Arizona. The opportunity also highlights wider community benefits, particularly in the Wildland Urban Interface, where effective vegetation and invasive species management can reduce wildfire risk, protect fire-sensitive native ecosystems, improve public safety, and help safeguard nearby private property.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted April 25, 2019, with an original closing date of May 5, 2019. The maximum award amount listed is $46,297, with one award expected. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.954. Eligibility is broadly categorized as "Others," with the specific details presumably provided in the full listing under the additional eligibility information section. Overall, this notice describes a targeted, single-award effort combining youth engagement, invasive species control, and wildfire risk reduction to support ecological resilience and community protection in southern Arizona park settings.Apply for P19AS00129
