Opportunity Summary:
The National Capital Parks- East Shaw Neighborhood Research Interns opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00337) is a Department of the Interior, National Park Service grant action focused on supporting historical research and public education tied to African-American heritage within National Capital Parks- East. The stated purpose is to work with the Greening Youth Foundation (GYF) to hire four interns who will help research, develop programming, and share information about key African-American figures connected to these park sites and their surrounding communities. In practical terms, the project centers on uncovering, organizing, and communicating stories and contributions that are historically significant but may be under-documented or less visible in public interpretation.
This opportunity is structured as a continuation action using a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service is expected to have substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating on the work rather than simply providing funds with minimal oversight. It is also explicitly described as a notice of intent only, with the purpose of modifying and adding funds to an existing task agreement (Task Agreement P16AC0116). Because it is a continuation and tied to an existing agreement, it is not presented as a standard open competition with a typical application deadline; instead, it functions as an administrative funding update to expand or continue a previously established partnership.
The total funding amount listed is up to $38,000 (award ceiling), with one expected award. The eligible applicant category is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," indicating it does not fall neatly into a single standard grant activity bucket and is best understood through the project description itself: youth internship support linked to cultural resource research, interpretive programming, and dissemination of findings.
Overall, the grant supports a targeted workforce-and-education effort: placing four GYF interns into roles that contribute to researching African-American historical figures associated with National Capital Parks- East, translating that research into educational or interpretive programming, and ensuring the information is shared in ways that strengthen public understanding of the area’s African-American history. The opportunity was created July 14, 2016 and is associated with CFDA number 15.931.
