Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00229
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Botany and Fire Effects Intern, for the Fire Ecology Program" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00229) under CFDA 15.931, within the Natural Resources activity category. The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expected to remain actively involved in the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The opportunity was created on May 4, 2017, and originally closed on May 13, 2017, indicating a short application window.
The core purpose of the project was to help preserve and protect Bandelier's natural and cultural resources while also strengthening visitor education. The work was framed around improving understanding of the natural processes shaping the Bandelier landscape, with a specific emphasis on fire ecology and fire effects as they relate to botany and broader ecosystem dynamics. In practical terms, the project was designed to support the park's Fire Ecology Group and to advance the park's ability to interpret and manage fire-related ecological change in a way that benefits both resource stewardship and public understanding.
A central feature of the opportunity was the inclusion of interns as part of the Fire Ecology Group. The grant explicitly emphasized training, career development, and educational benefits for young people interested in fire and ecological studies. Rather than being only a resource management project, it was also a workforce development and experiential learning effort intended to build skills and professional pathways in fields like fire ecology, vegetation monitoring, and related natural resource disciplines.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $28,881, meaning the total federal support was capped at that amount. Overall, the grant was a targeted, small-scale cooperative agreement aimed at supporting hands-on internship engagement in botany and fire effects work that aligns with Bandelier resource protection and visitor education goals.Apply for P17AS00229
