Opportunity Summary:
The BPI 2012 Interns opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P12AC30496) is a National Park Service grant announcement focused on supporting an internship program connected to outdoor recreation and related planning work. The funding is issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expects to be substantially involved in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The program is categorized under the Education activity area and is tied to CFDA 15.916, Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning, indicating the work is meant to support the broader mission of enhancing recreation resources and planning efforts.
This posting is not a typical open competition. It is explicitly described as a Notice of Intent to Award a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (H0010110003) to Net Impact. In practical terms, that language signals the agency had already identified the intended recipient and was publishing the notice for transparency and administrative purposes rather than inviting multiple applicants to compete. Eligibility is therefore narrowly framed: eligible applicants are nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the notice specifies the intended awardee as Net Impact.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, and the financial details are fixed: the estimated total funding is $187,955, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $187,955. That means the agency expected to make one award in that exact amount rather than a range of potential award sizes. 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.
Key dates show a short posting window. The opportunity was posted and created on May 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 25, 2012, and an archive date of June 24, 2012. Because it was a notice of intent to award rather than a broad solicitation, the short timeline is consistent with an administrative publication rather than a standard competitive grant cycle.
