Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public notice titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD: Your Park! Your Health! Interns at Gateway NRA" under funding opportunity number NPS 16 NERO 0085. This notice is not a solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as formal public notification that the NPS intends to make a single, non-competitive award to support a specific set of project activities associated with the "Your Park! Your Health!" interns program at Gateway National Recreation Area (Gateway NRA).
The planned award would be made using a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project, such as participating in planning, coordination, oversight, or implementation activities alongside the recipient. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, and the funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the additional clarification implied to be contained in the original announcement's explanatory text field. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service related assistance programs.
In terms of scale and expected outcome, the announcement indicates an anticipated total funding ceiling of $50,059 and states that NPS expects to make one award. The posting includes key dates showing it was created on June 23, 2016, with an original closing date of July 3, 2016. In the context of a notice of intent to award, that closing date generally functions as the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline, since applications are not being accepted.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being available in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section within the full announcement. However, because the notice is specifically a non-competitive intent to fund, the practical effect is that the NPS has already identified the project activities and is announcing its intention to fund them without opening a competition to other potential applicants. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a transparency and compliance posting: it documents NPS's intent to proceed with a single cooperative agreement for the Gateway NRA "Your Park! Your Health!" intern activities, up to the stated funding ceiling, without soliciting proposals from the public.
