Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "NOI TA: ENGAGE YOUTH RECREATION INTERNSHIPS" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 16 NERO 0082) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award under the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI-NPS). It is categorized as a discretionary funding action and would be issued through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the implication that the specific activity type is clarified in the full announcement text, but the title and context indicate it is focused on youth recreation internship activities connected to NPS programming or operations.
This posting is not a competitive grant solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS intends to fund certain project activities without competition. In practical terms, that usually means the agency has already identified an intended recipient or partner (often through an existing relationship, statutory authority, or a justified exception to competition) and is publishing the notice to meet transparency requirements. Because it is a notice rather than an open call, organizations generally should not expect a pathway to submit a new application in response to this announcement.
The opportunity references CFDA Number 15.931 (a federal assistance listing historically associated with National Park Service financial assistance). Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a note that additional eligibility details would be provided elsewhere in the full funding announcement. The posting anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $26,971, indicating a relatively small, targeted project budget intended to support a specific internship or youth engagement effort rather than a large multi-site program.
Key dates show the opportunity was created and posted on June 17, 2016, with a listed closing date of June 27, 2016. Since this is an intent-to-award notice rather than a solicitation, the closing date functions more like an administrative window for the notice period rather than a deadline for applicant submissions. Overall, the announcement communicates that the NPS plans to proceed with one non-competitive cooperative agreement to support project activities centered on engaging youth through recreation-focused internships.
