Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Administrative Interns at Hagerman Fossil Beds" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP16AC01640) is a National Park Service notice connected to staffing support at Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument. It sits under the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is classified as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity category is listed as Education, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.931, which is commonly used for National Park Service-related assistance programs.
This notice is not an open grant competition and is explicitly not a formal funding opportunity announcement. Instead, it serves as a Notice of Intent to make an award in the form of a task agreement to a specific organization: the Student Conservation Association (SCA). The key point is that this task agreement would be issued under an existing national Youth Cooperative Agreement that had already been competed previously. In practical terms, that means the competitive selection process already happened at the master agreement level, and this action is a follow-on or project-specific assignment (the task agreement) being placed within that established cooperative framework rather than being competed again as a standalone grant.
The posting includes administrative details that resemble those found in typical grant announcements, but they mainly function as public documentation of the government agency's planned action. The eligible applicant category is shown as "Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." Even though that eligibility language appears broad, the notice text makes clear that the intended recipient is SCA, reflecting a directed intent to award rather than a solicitation inviting multiple applicants.
In terms of scale and timing, the notice was created on September 19, 2016, with an original closing date of September 23, 2016, indicating a very short posting window consistent with a notice of intent rather than a full competitive process. The expected number of awards is one, and the award ceiling is listed as $71,776. This ceiling likely reflects the maximum federal share anticipated for the task agreement supporting administrative interns, including possible costs such as intern stipends, programmatic support, and associated administrative or project expenses, as structured under the cooperative agreement terms.
Finally, the description instructs interested parties to consult an attached document for complete information. That is typical for notices of intent that provide only high-level summary fields on the listing page while placing the specific scope of work, deliverables, period of performance, and administrative requirements in an attachment. The bottom line is that this listing is a public notification that the National Park Service planned to issue a single task agreement to SCA to support administrative intern positions at Hagerman Fossil Beds, using a previously competed cooperative agreement vehicle rather than running a new open competition.
