Opportunity Summary:
The 2013 C and O Canal NHP Latino Youth Internship Program (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00131) was a National Park Service discretionary funding action designed to support a youth internship effort at the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. The core purpose of the project was to place youth interns in hands-on roles supporting visitor-facing interpretation and education. Interns were intended to help staff mule-drawn canal boat rides and assist with other interpretive operations carried out through the park's Division of Interpretation, Education and Partnerships. In practical terms, the program focused on building workforce experience for young people while strengthening the park's ability to deliver guided programs and interpretive services tied to the canal's history and cultural resources.
This opportunity fell under the Education activity category, with an added emphasis in cultural resources management, as reflected by the listing under CFDA 15.946 (Cultural Resources Management). The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expected to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project, such as collaborating on planning, oversight, or implementation rather than simply issuing a standard grant with minimal federal participation. The estimated total funding amount was $34,320, and both the award ceiling and floor were set at $34,320, indicating the intent to make a single award at a fixed amount.
Only one award was expected. The eligible applicant type listed was a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the notice makes clear it was not an open call for applications. Instead, it served as public notice of the National Park Service's intent to fund the project without full and open competition, specifically naming the C and O Canal Trust, Inc. as the intended recipient. In other words, this posting functioned more like a transparency notice than a competitive grant announcement. The posting date and creation date were both July 11, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 14, 2013, reflecting a very short public notice window consistent with a non-competitive intent-to-award announcement.
For anyone seeking additional details through the official portal at the time, the announcement pointed to Grants.gov, and it provided a contact for access issues: Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 or by email at ritamihalik@nps.gov.
