Opportunity Information: Apply for P20AS00048
The "Lake Clark National Park and Preserve Subsistence Harvest Surveys" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P20AS00048) is a National Park Service project under the U.S. Department of the Interior aimed at improving understanding of subsistence economies connected to Lake Clark National Park and Preserve (LCNPP) in Alaska. The work is designed to generate detailed information on how local residents in communities traditionally associated with LCNPP use natural resources for subsistence, and to produce data that can be used to estimate overall subsistence harvest levels. Rather than focusing narrowly on a single species or resource category, the project emphasizes capturing a broader, community-wide view of subsistence practices and how they fit into local livelihoods.
The project is structured as a joint effort between the National Park Service and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFandG). A central feature is the use of community-based harvest reporting, an approach that has been shown to produce reliable results in rural Alaska because it is grounded in local participation and firsthand reporting. Data collection is expected to rely heavily on in-person household surveys that document harvest and use patterns, supported by contextual ethnographic interviews with key local respondents. Combining these methods is intended to provide richer context around why and how resources are harvested and shared, seasonal patterns, and the role subsistence activities play in the overall community economy, going beyond what can be learned from species-specific harvest reporting alone (for example, reports limited to salmon or large land mammals).
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement, categorized under Environment and Natural Resources (CFDA 15.945). The only eligible applicant is a state government entity, and the announcement explicitly states it is a notice of intent to award to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game; applications from any other organization will not be accepted. The expected award is a single cooperative agreement with an award ceiling of $150,000. The opportunity was created on March 30, 2020, with an original closing date of April 6, 2020, reflecting that it is not a competitive open solicitation but a targeted, pre-identified partnership award intended to support subsistence harvest survey work tied to LCNPP and its associated communities.Apply for P20AS00048

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve Subsistence Harvest Surveys opportunity?
This funding opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) project under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on improving understanding of subsistence economies connected to Lake Clark National Park and Preserve (LCNPP) in Alaska. The work is intended to produce detailed, community-level information about how local residents use natural resources for subsistence and to generate data that can support estimates of overall subsistence harvest levels.
What is the funding opportunity number?
The Funding Opportunity Number is P20AS00048.
Which federal agency is sponsoring this project?
The project is sponsored by the National Park Service (NPS) within the U.S. Department of the Interior.
What is the main purpose of the project?
The main purpose is to better document and understand subsistence practices tied to LCNPP and to produce information that can be used to estimate overall subsistence harvest levels. The project is designed to capture a broader view of subsistence activities as part of community livelihoods, rather than focusing on only one species or one resource category.
What kinds of information will the project collect?
The project is designed to generate detailed information on harvest and use patterns by local residents in communities traditionally associated with LCNPP. It also aims to collect contextual details about how and why resources are harvested and shared, seasonal patterns, and how subsistence activities fit into the overall community economy.
Is this project focused on a single species (like salmon) or a single type of resource?
No. The opportunity explicitly emphasizes a broad, community-wide view of subsistence practices rather than a narrow focus on a single species or category (such as salmon-only reporting or large land mammal reporting).
What methods are expected to be used for data collection?
Data collection is expected to rely heavily on in-person household surveys documenting harvest and use patterns. The surveys are intended to be supported by contextual ethnographic interviews with key local respondents to provide additional context around practices like harvesting, sharing, and seasonal use.
What is meant by community-based harvest reporting in this opportunity?
Community-based harvest reporting refers to an approach grounded in local participation and firsthand reporting. The opportunity notes that this approach has been shown to produce reliable results in rural Alaska, and it is identified as a central feature of the project.
Why combine household surveys with ethnographic interviews?
The opportunity describes combining these methods to provide richer context than species-specific harvest reporting alone. Household surveys can document harvest and use patterns, while ethnographic interviews can help explain context such as why resources are harvested, how sharing works, and how subsistence activities relate to local livelihoods and seasonal cycles.
Who are the project partners?
The project is structured as a joint effort between the National Park Service (NPS) and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G).
What type of funding instrument will be used?
The opportunity is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement.

How many awards are expected?
A single award is expected, issued as one cooperative agreement.
What is the maximum award amount?
The award ceiling is $150,000.
When was the opportunity created and when did it close?

What is the geographic focus of the work?
The work is tied to Lake Clark National Park and Preserve in Alaska and focuses on communities traditionally associated with LCNPP.
What does the project aim to improve, beyond simple harvest totals?
Beyond producing data that can be used to estimate overall subsistence harvest levels, the project aims to improve understanding of subsistence economies, including how subsistence practices fit into community livelihoods, how resources are used and shared, and how seasonal patterns influence harvesting and use.
Will applications from tribes, nonprofits, universities, or local governments be considered?
No. Based on the information provided, the announcement states the only eligible applicant is a state government entity and explicitly identifies the Alaska Department of Fish and Game as the intended recipient; applications from any other organization will not be accepted.
