Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00318
Develop Methods to Estimate Future Flood Hazard Information for National Park Service Inland Floodplains (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00318) is a National Park Service grant action under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on improving how inland flood hazards are understood and managed in national parks. The central aim is methodological: it is about identifying and evaluating approaches for estimating future flood hazard information so the National Park Service can make better decisions about flood risk in areas that are not coastal but still subject to riverine and inland flooding. The practical purpose behind that technical work is to strengthen flood risk management in a way that protects human health and safety, safeguards natural and cultural resources, and reduces losses to publicly funded infrastructure, ultimately helping protect taxpayer investments.
This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, meaning the project is expected to involve collaboration and substantial involvement between the agency and the recipient rather than being a hands-off, deliverable-only arrangement. The activity category is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.945. The eligible applicant pool listed for the opportunity is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which signals that the work is intended to be carried out by universities or similar public academic institutions with relevant technical expertise in hydrology, floodplain science, climate impacts, risk assessment, or related fields.
In terms of funding scale and anticipated output, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $98,993, with one expected award. However, it is important to note that this posting is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent rather than an open solicitation. No applications are being accepted because the task agreement is being awarded under an existing cooperative agreement (P14AC00728) that was previously competed. In other words, this listing serves primarily as a public record of the agency’s intent and the funding parameters rather than an invitation for new proposals.
The overall theme of the work is forward-looking flood risk planning for inland floodplains managed by the National Park Service. By developing or identifying improved methods to estimate future flood hazards, the effort is meant to support better planning, resource protection, and infrastructure decision-making in parks where flooding can threaten visitors, staff, historic structures, ecosystems, roads, utilities, and other public assets. The opportunity was created on June 1, 2017, and because it is not open for competition, it does not have a typical application closing date tied to proposal submission.Apply for P17AS00318
