Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Natural Resource Internship" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIORPI1600746), is a discretionary funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). The funding instrument listed is a cooperative agreement, and the primary activity area is natural resources. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.931. The announcement was created and posted on May 19, 2016, with an original and current closing date of June 2, 2016.
The most important point is that this is a Notice of Intent to Award, not an open call for proposals. In practical terms, it is not requesting applications from the public and is not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that the National Park Service intends to make a single, non-competitive task agreement award. The listing indicates an expected number of awards of 1, reinforcing that the agency has identified an intended recipient or partner and is proceeding under a non-competitive award process rather than soliciting multiple applicants.
Eligibility is limited on paper to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Even though eligibility is stated, the notice language makes clear that the announcement is informational and tied to a specific intended award action, so eligible organizations should not interpret this as an opportunity to submit a new application unless separately invited by the agency through a different, competitive or solicited process.
No award ceiling is provided (it is listed as 0), which typically indicates that the public synopsis does not specify the funding maximum in this notice, rather than implying there is no funding. The purpose implied by the title suggests support for an internship focused on natural resource work connected to National Park Service priorities, but the text supplied does not include additional program details such as project scope, internship duties, performance period, location, or expected deliverables.
