Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "SCA Resource Management Interns George Washington Memorial Parkway and Administered Areas" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00363) is a National Park Service initiative under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement within the federal assistance listing CFDA 15.931, which generally covers work connected to conservation, preservation, and public benefit activities carried out through partnerships. The stated purpose of this particular task agreement is to place interns into hands-on resource management steward roles at the George Washington Memorial Parkway and related administered park areas, giving them direct exposure to how resource preservation work is planned and carried out in a national park setting.
At the core of the project is workforce development and experiential learning. Interns are expected to support the park through a mix of field and public-facing duties, including trail patrols, trail-related activities, and community outreach. The outreach component suggests engagement with park visitors and potentially neighboring communities to encourage responsible recreation, improve awareness of park rules and conservation goals, and build public understanding of why certain resource protections are in place. The operational, on-the-ground component emphasizes stewardship through practical activities tied to maintaining and protecting park resources, with an explicit focus on both natural resource projects (such as habitat-related work or other conservation tasks) and cultural resource projects (which can involve protecting historically significant sites, features, or landscapes). Overall, the task agreement is positioned as a structured internship experience intended to build entry-level professional skills while contributing meaningful support to park management needs.
In terms of who could ordinarily be eligible, the opportunity identifies eligible applicants as nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. That eligibility statement aligns with how many internship and conservation corps style programs are administered, often through nonprofit partners that recruit, manage, and support interns in cooperation with federal land management agencies. The funding instrument is listed as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the National Park Service anticipates substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as collaborating on project direction, oversight, training expectations, or deliverable review.
The posted award ceiling is $70,000, which represents the maximum amount anticipated for the task agreement described in the notice. The opportunity also lists "Expected Awards: 0," and the closing information clarifies why: this posting is a Notice of Intent only, and it is tied to a task agreement being awarded under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC0031) that had already been competed previously. In other words, this is not an open solicitation and there is no application process available to the public at the time of posting; the National Park Service is documenting its intent to fund a specific task under a pre-established, competitively awarded partnership vehicle.
Taken together, the opportunity is best understood as a park internship and stewardship support effort focused on resource management functions at the George Washington Memorial Parkway and associated sites. Its main deliverable is not a traditional research product or infrastructure build, but rather the placement and utilization of interns who will help with trail presence and protection, visitor and community engagement, and project work that supports both natural and cultural resource preservation. The practical benefit is twofold: the park gains additional capacity for stewardship and outreach work, and the interns gain first-hand training and career-relevant experience in the day-to-day realities of managing and preserving resources within the National Park System.
