Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00177
The "Public Inforamtion Project" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00177) is a discretionary funding action by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity area (CFDA 15.954). The core purpose is a collaboration between the National Park Service and the Outside Las Vegas Foundation to develop and carry out public-facing initiatives that encourage people to use, enjoy, and actively steward NPS lands as well as other public lands. In practical terms, the project is aimed at improving how the public connects with parks and public landscapes through clear, engaging, and modern communications and outreach products.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it is not an open competition. The notice explicitly states "NOTICE OF ITENT TO AWARD" and clarifies that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS intends to fund a specific project through a new cooperative agreement. Because of that, there is no true application window in the usual sense and the listing does not function like a typical grant solicitation where multiple applicants submit proposals for review. The creation date for the notice is April 10, 2017.
The work described is communications-heavy and requires specialized technical capabilities. The project calls for proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite and a working understanding of graphic design and web design, along with the ability to produce and handle photography and audio/video content. This strongly suggests the funded activities would include developing visual materials, digital or web-based content, and multimedia storytelling tools that help translate park messages into formats that resonate with the public. The emphasis on production skills indicates NPS is looking for professional-quality deliverables, likely including branded graphics, web updates or web-ready assets, photo documentation, and video or audio pieces that can be used for outreach, interpretation, campaigns, or public information efforts.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. That fits with the named collaborator, Outside Las Vegas Foundation, which is positioned as the nonprofit partner in this cooperative agreement arrangement. Cooperative agreements also typically imply substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project, meaning NPS would likely play an active role in guiding, coordinating, or participating in the work rather than simply providing funds and receiving final reports.
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $85,897. The listing shows "ExpectedAwards: 0," which commonly appears in notices that are not open solicitations, because the intent is to fund a predetermined project rather than make multiple new awards through a competitive process. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a formal public announcement of NPS funding for a specific collaborative communications and public engagement project, focused on strengthening public awareness, use, and stewardship of parks and public lands through strong design, web, photo, and video production capacity.Apply for P17AS00177
