Opportunity Information: Apply for P23AS00316
The 2023 Grand Canyon and Flagstaff Monuments Fuels Reduction opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P23AS00316) is a discretionary National Park Service cooperative agreement focused on supporting prescribed fire operations, hazardous fuels reduction, and related ecological restoration across Grand Canyon National Park and several nearby National Monuments in northern Arizona. The work is tied to the National Park Service (NPS) fuels and fire management goals and is intended to strengthen the capacity of the park and monument units to plan and carry out priority treatments that reduce wildfire risk while improving ecosystem conditions.
The geographic scope is broad and includes both the North and South Rims of Grand Canyon National Park as well as Walnut Canyon (WACA), Wupatki (WUPA), Sunset Crater (SUCR), Tuzigoot (TUZI), and Montezuma's Castle (MOCA) National Monuments. In practical terms, the program is designed to fund partner support that can move between multiple sites as needs arise, helping the NPS complete a planned workload of prescribed burns and fuels projects distributed across these units.
The NPS is looking for qualified cooperators that can directly contribute to successful implementation of prescribed fire and fuels work. A major emphasis is operational readiness and field capability. Applicants are expected to demonstrate that they can mobilize quickly and arrive on-site within roughly 1.5 to 2 hours of notification, which reflects the time-sensitive nature of prescribed fire windows and the need to take advantage of short periods of favorable weather and resource availability. Proposals are also evaluated on whether the applicant can provide appropriate firefighting equipment and personnel with National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) qualifications that are recognized within the wildland fire discipline. Another key expectation is self-sufficiency: partners should be able to handle their own travel logistics and operate without relying on the NPS for basic transportation support while conducting prescribed fire activities.
Eligible applicants span a wide range of public and nonprofit entities, including state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding nonprofits that are institutions of higher education). This wide eligibility reflects the cooperative nature of fire management in the region and the common reliance on interagency and cross-jurisdictional partners to meet staffing and operational needs during burn operations and fuels reduction projects.
In terms of funding structure and timing, the opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.954, indicating that NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the supported activities rather than a hands-off grant. The posting was created on March 20, 2023, with an original closing date of May 22, 2023. The stated award ceiling is $100,000. The listing indicates expected awards but does not provide a specific number in the provided source text.
Overall, the opportunity is essentially a call for partners who can bring qualified crews, equipment, and rapid-response capacity to help the NPS safely execute prescribed fires and fuels treatments across the Grand Canyon and Flagstaff-area monument units. It prioritizes operational competence, recognized wildland fire qualifications, and the ability to deploy quickly and function independently in the field, all in service of reducing hazardous fuels and advancing ecological restoration goals on NPS-managed lands in northern Arizona.Apply for P23AS00316
