Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00334MOD01
The National Park Service (NPS), under the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public notice titled "National Park Service- Historic Irrigation Ditch at Montezuma Well Preservation Project" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00334MOD01). This announcement is not an open call for new proposals and should not be read as a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it serves as formal notification that the NPS intends to continue funding an existing cooperative agreement by issuing a modification to the current award.
The purpose of the modification is administrative and programmatic: it updates key agreement terms, specifically Article IV (Term of Agreement) and Article VI (Award and Payment). Montezuma Castle National Monument is extending its existing task agreement with the Arizona Conservation Corps after receiving additional funds to keep the project moving forward. In practical terms, this means the original partnership is being continued rather than replaced, and the updated funding and timeline provisions are being documented through the modification.
The project itself focuses on restoration and preservation work for the historic irrigation canal (often described as an irrigation ditch) associated with Montezuma Well. The work supports preservation of an important cultural landscape and historic resource, while also advancing natural and cultural resource stewardship goals. A central feature of the effort is youth engagement: the agreement is designed to involve young people directly in hands-on conservation and preservation activities, building practical skills and reinforcing stewardship ethics through field-based work connected to a nationally significant site.
From the funding and administrative details provided, the opportunity is categorized as a continuation action and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, indicating ongoing substantial involvement or collaboration by the NPS in the project rather than a more hands-off grant structure. The activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number is 15.931. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $37,800, reflecting that this continuation is targeted to a single existing partner arrangement rather than multiple recipients.
Eligibility information is included for public record and lists nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as eligible applicants, but the key takeaway is that this notice is specifically about extending and funding an existing agreement rather than inviting new applicants. The notice was created on November 15, 2017, with an original closing date of November 22, 2017, which functions more as a posting timeframe for the public notice than a deadline for competitive submissions.Apply for P17AS00334MOD01
