Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) issued a "Notice of Intent to Award" for a grant opportunity titled "Resource Management, Interpretation & Community Outreach Museum Program Intern" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPSNOICHCU1601149). This type of announcement is specifically meant to inform the public that NPS plans to make an award, and it is not an open call for proposals. In other words, NPS is not asking organizations to apply or compete for this funding; instead, it is signaling that it intends to move forward with a non-competitive award to a selected partner through a task agreement.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action and would be made using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. Cooperative agreements are typically used when the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, meaning NPS would likely work closely with the recipient on the internship and related activities. The activity category is natural resources, and the CFDA number associated with it is 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service programs.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. While an eligibility category is stated, the notice format clarifies that the award is intended to be non-competitive, so eligibility information functions more as a classification of the recipient type rather than an invitation for new applicants to submit proposals.
The posting indicates an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this is designed for a single recipient. The listed award ceiling is 0, which typically means the specific dollar amount is not provided in the public notice, is to be defined within the task agreement, or is otherwise not being disclosed in the announcement summary. The opportunity was created on July 12, 2016, with an original closing date of July 26, 2016, which in the context of a notice of intent generally reflects an administrative public-notice window rather than a deadline for application submission.
Overall, this notice communicates NPS's intention to fund or support an intern position focused on museum program work tied to resource management, interpretation, and community outreach, but it does not provide an avenue for the public to apply because it is not a competitive funding opportunity.
