Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00051
The National Park Service, within the Department of the Interior, issued a public notice for a discretionary funding action titled "Physical Science Data Collection and Geospatial Analysis at Joshua Tree NP" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00051). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.931 (Natural Resources). It is not an open call for applications; the announcement is specifically a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning the agency is signaling that it plans to fund this work through an existing cooperative agreement with the Great Basin Institute (GBI). Because of that, even though the general eligibility category listed is 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the notice is not inviting new proposals from other organizations. The expected number of awards is one, with a funding ceiling of $31,057, and the notice was created on May 1, 2019.
The core purpose of the project is workforce development paired with on-the-ground resource protection at Joshua Tree National Park. The project is designed to give an early career professional real field and technical experience in the park's physical sciences program, building practical skills through direct involvement in monitoring, documenting, and helping mitigate issues tied to physical resources. The opportunity emphasizes applied learning in areas that can include air quality, abandoned mines and mineral lands (often abbreviated as AML), and the growing concerns of light and noise pollution. It also includes hydrology and geology-related work, reflecting the park's need to track and understand physical processes and stressors that affect desert environments.
Operationally, the project centers on supporting one physical science technician. That technician is expected to contribute to multiple stages of work rather than a single task: collecting field data, assisting with planning and preparation for AML mitigation activities, helping implement mitigation measures, and then monitoring the effects of both mitigation and outside pressures. A specific emphasis is placed on tracking impacts to the park's physical science resources that may result from external development adjacent to park boundaries, which can influence conditions inside the park through changes in noise, lighting, air quality, hydrologic patterns, or land disturbance.
A major deliverable is strong documentation and data stewardship. The technician's work is expected to be thoroughly recorded and managed in line with the Joshua Tree National Park Data Management Plan, indicating that the project values not just data collection but also long-term usability and consistency of information. Alongside that, the project includes maintaining a GIS database of documented resources and producing geospatial analysis products that can support internal and external communication. In practice, that means the role is partly field-based and partly office/technical, using GIS tools to organize spatial data and generate maps or analyses used for reporting, briefings, and presentations. Overall, the opportunity combines career-building for an early career professional with practical monitoring and mitigation support for key physical science resource concerns at Joshua Tree National Park.Apply for P19AS00051
