Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00229
This opportunity, titled "Provide Technical Assistance for Project to Conduct Deferred Maintenance of the South Rim Trail" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00229), is a National Park Service funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates the agency expects substantial involvement in the project work or oversight rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activity area is listed under Natural Resources, with an additional "Other" classification noted in the original posting to further clarify the type of work involved.
The core purpose of the award is to support technical assistance for a project focused on deferred maintenance along the South Rim Trail. "Deferred maintenance" generally refers to repair or upkeep that has been postponed over time, often resulting in accumulated needs such as trail surface rehabilitation, drainage and erosion control, structural repairs, and related improvements that help restore safe and sustainable conditions. In this case, the funding is aimed at technical assistance supporting that maintenance effort rather than being broadly framed as a construction or capital improvement competition open to many applicants.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the notice specifically indicates a "Notice of Intent to Award" to the University of New Mexico under an existing master agreement (P17AC01318). That language is important because it means the posting is not a request for applications and is not being competed in the usual sense. The listed closing information reinforces this: rather than a standard application deadline, it signals that the agency planned to make the award to the named university partner under a pre-established agreement framework.
The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $36,810. In practical terms, that ceiling represents the maximum amount anticipated for this specific action, and the single expected award aligns with the intent-to-award structure. The opportunity was created on May 21, 2018, and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service financial assistance programs.
Overall, this is a small, targeted cooperative agreement intended to fund technical support for a specific National Park Service deferred maintenance need on the South Rim Trail, routed through an eligible public university partner and posted primarily for transparency rather than to solicit competing proposals.Apply for P18AS00229
