Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary funding notice titled "Administer Internship Program" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00117) to announce its intent to continue funding an existing internship administration project at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park (NHP). The opportunity is categorized under Education and would be awarded as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS would likely remain actively involved in the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
This notice is not an open solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS intends to make the award without full and open competition. The award is described as a continuation of a prior agreement (TA No. P12AC11142) with the Harpers Ferry Historical Association, indicating the work is ongoing and the agency is extending or renewing support for the same partner rather than seeking new applicants.
Funding is set at a fixed total of $25,520, with the award floor and ceiling both listed as $25,520, suggesting the NPS anticipated issuing a single award in that exact amount. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status that are not institutions of higher education. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.954, which covers National Park Service programs related to conservation, protection, outreach, and education. The posting date and creation date are both July 5, 2013, and the original and current closing dates are listed as July 8, 2013, reflecting a very short posting window consistent with a non-competitive continuation notice rather than a typical competitive grant cycle.
For those seeking more information or having trouble accessing the announcement through Grants.gov, the notice provides a contact at NPS: Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable at 301-432-7890 or ritamihalik@nps.gov. The listing also points to Grants.gov for the official announcement details.
