Opportunity Information: Apply for P22AS00413
The "Grand Canyon and Flagstaff Monuments Fuels Reduction" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P22AS00413) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support prescribed fire operations, hazardous fuels reduction, and related ecological restoration work in northern Arizona. The work is centered on Grand Canyon National Park, covering both the North Rim and South Rim, and also extends to several nearby NPS sites: Walnut Canyon National Monument, Wupatki National Monument, Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument, Tuzigoot National Monument, and Montezuma's Castle National Monument. The overall intent is to bring in qualified partners who can help the NPS meet its planned workload and program goals for fuels management and restoration across these units.
Funding is intended for practical on-the-ground support that improves the park's ability to implement prescribed burns and complete fuels reduction projects safely and effectively. This includes assistance that directly strengthens prescribed fire implementation (planning and operational support), reduces hazardous vegetation and fuel loads that contribute to high-intensity wildfire risk, and supports ecological restoration activities that align with NPS resource objectives. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, the expectation is that the awardee will coordinate closely with NPS staff and integrate into active operations rather than operate as a fully independent project.
A major emphasis in the evaluation criteria is operational readiness and wildland fire capability. Applicants are expected to show they can mobilize quickly, specifically that they can arrive on-site within about 2 to 4 hours after being notified. Proposals are also evaluated on whether the applicant can provide appropriate firefighting equipment and whether their personnel hold National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) qualifications that are recognized and used across the wildland fire community. In practical terms, the NPS is looking for partners who can plug into prescribed fire and fuels crews with minimal delay, meet accepted qualification standards, and contribute to safe, efficient operations.
Eligibility is limited by law (54 USC 101702(a)) to certain domestic entity types. Eligible applicants include educational institutions (public and private institutions of higher education), nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and other nonprofit statuses), and government entities such as state governments, counties, cities or townships, special district governments, and federally recognized tribal governments. For-profit organizations are not eligible, and neither are foreign organizations or governments outside the United States and its territories.
Key administrative details include an award ceiling of $50,000, with the opportunity posted on July 19, 2022, and an original closing date of October 6, 2022.
