Opportunity Summary:
The Southeast Region Geospatial Support GIS Intern opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00414) is a National Park Service initiative under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on youth engagement and workforce development. Structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement within the Education activity category (CFDA 15.931), the project is designed to create practical work, education, and training experiences for young adults by placing them in real-world geospatial support roles tied to National Park Service operations in the Southeast Regional Office.
At its core, the internship centers on hands-on GIS and GPS duties that directly support the agency's mapping and geographic information needs. The intern is expected to help manage and maintain GIS datasets in both file geodatabases and SDE (enterprise) geodatabases, with an emphasis on following established naming conventions and attribute standards so data remains consistent, searchable, and usable across projects. A significant part of the work also involves creating and completing FGDC-compliant metadata, which is the federal standard for documenting geospatial datasets so that others can understand where the data came from, how it was created, and how it should be used. In addition to data stewardship and documentation, the intern would provide digital map products and/or web-based map products as requested, and assist the GIS coordinator with broader geography and mapping projects that arise at the regional office.
Funding for the project has an anticipated maximum amount (award ceiling) of $49,487, with the expectation of a single award being made. The notice was created on July 29, 2016, and it is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a restricted award rather than an open call for applications, meaning it was not published as a competitive solicitation where any eligible entity could submit a full proposal in response to the notice.
Eligibility is limited and somewhat specialized: it lists nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and also includes an "Others" category with additional clarification referenced in the original eligibility text. Overall, the opportunity reflects a targeted partnership approach where the National Park Service supports youth training and professional development while meeting ongoing geospatial data management and mapping needs in the Southeast region.
