Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a project focused on creating youth internships that support priority park projects at three National Park Service units in the San Francisco Bay Area: John Muir National Historic Site, Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site, and Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park. The opportunity is published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and it is labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is meant to inform the public that NPS plans to fund a specific set of activities through an existing partnership structure rather than to invite open competition.
A key point is that this posting is not a request for applications and has no application closing date, because NPS is not soliciting proposals from the broader public. Instead, NPS is announcing its intention to fund work under Task Agreement number P16AC01760, which sits under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P15AC00015) with the American Conservation Experience. In practice, that means the project has already been identified, the partner organization has already been selected through the established agreement, and this notice serves transparency and documentation purposes for the federal award process.
The funding opportunity is listed under opportunity number P16AS00617 and is categorized as discretionary funding using a cooperative agreement as the instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as coordinating internship assignments with park needs, providing oversight, collaborating on training and work plans, and ensuring the work aligns with NPS mission requirements and site-specific priorities. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing is 15.945, which is associated with National Park Service assistance and reflects the conservation and resource management nature of the supported work.
The award amount is capped at $43,882, with an expected number of awards equal to one. While the summary does not spell out internship roles or specific project deliverables, the title and context make clear that the core purpose is workforce development for youth through structured internships that provide hands-on support to NPS projects at the named parks. Those projects can commonly include natural and cultural resource tasks, basic conservation work, visitor services support tied to stewardship goals, and related field or site-based assistance, all carried out in coordination with park staff. The intended recipient type shown in the record is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the partner identified in the notice.
The posting date (creation date) is September 15, 2016. Because the NPS explicitly states that it is not requesting applications, organizations that might otherwise be eligible are not able to compete for this particular award. The practical takeaway is that the NPS is publicly documenting its plan to provide up to $43,882, via a single cooperative agreement action, to the American Conservation Experience under an existing cooperative agreement framework, specifically to place and support youth interns who will help advance park projects at John Muir NHS, Eugene O'Neill NHS, and Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front NHP.
