Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00588
The grant opportunity titled "Survey Riverscour Communities of the Clear Fork" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00588) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. It was offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.945). The opportunity was created on August 27, 2018, with an original application closing date of September 1, 2018, indicating a short turnaround time between posting and deadline.
The purpose of the project was to conduct an inventory of globally rare riverscour communities along the lower nine miles of the Clear Fork River within Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. Riverscour communities are specialized habitats shaped by periodic flooding and scouring flows, and because they occur under narrow environmental conditions, they can support unusual or high-conservation-value plant assemblages. The work described in this opportunity focused on documenting where these communities occur along that specific stretch of river and characterizing them in a way that strengthens the park's baseline ecological information.
A major outcome expected from the surveys was improved data on the location and abundance of plant species of management concern, specifically including threatened and endangered plants as well as exotic (non-native) species. In practical terms, the survey results were intended to help the park understand which sensitive species are present, where they are concentrated, and how extensive their populations are, while also flagging areas where invasive or exotic plants may be established. This kind of information supports future planning for resource protection, monitoring, and potential management actions.
The project was also designed to build on and strengthen existing work rather than starting from scratch. The announcement notes that the new surveys would augment previous riverscour surveys conducted in the park, suggesting an ongoing effort to systematically map and understand these river-driven habitats across Big South Fork. By extending survey coverage to the lower Clear Fork segment, the project would help fill geographic gaps and make the overall riverscour dataset more complete and usable for long-term stewardship.
In terms of who could apply, eligibility included private institutions of higher education and other applicants as described in the opportunity's additional eligibility text (not provided in the excerpt). The maximum federal award amount listed was $27,642. The listing shows "ExpectedAwards: 0," which can reflect the way some postings are recorded in the source system rather than a definitive statement about whether an award would be made, but the ceiling indicates the approximate scale of work the agency was prepared to support for this inventory effort.
Overall, the opportunity funded targeted field surveys and documentation aimed at locating and assessing rare riverscour plant communities and associated species along a defined portion of the Clear Fork River, with the National Park Service using a cooperative agreement mechanism to support and coordinate that work within a national park unit.Apply for P18AS00588
