Opportunity Summary:
The Chesapeake Youth Corps Intern opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the United States Department of the Interior to announce the agency's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award. This notice is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and, importantly, it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public through an open, competitive application process. Instead, it is providing transparency that it plans to enter into a specific task agreement (P13AC01204) under an existing cooperative agreement framework (P13AC01202) with a named partner, the Anacostia Watershed Society, and that the award will be made without full and open competition.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project activities (as opposed to a more hands-off grant). The programmatic focus sits at the intersection of education, environment, and natural resources, and it is tied to CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. The announcement indicates there will be one expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $25,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $25,000, signaling a fixed, single-award amount rather than a range.
The notice also states that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the cooperator is expected to contribute resources toward the project in addition to the federal funds, though the specific match amount or structure would be detailed in the full announcement attachment referenced by the NPS. Eligibility is described in general terms as limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but because the NPS is naming the intended cooperator and stating this is not an open competition, this eligibility category functions more as a formal descriptor than an invitation for new applicants.
In terms of timing, the posting and creation date are August 19, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 23, 2013, and an archive date of August 24, 2013. Those dates reinforce that the notice served primarily as a brief public posting to document the NPS intent to proceed with the partner organization, rather than to allow time for prospective applicants to develop and submit proposals.
For anyone trying to access additional details about the project activities, the NPS directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" section (as referenced in the notice). If there are issues accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 410-260-2473, with an NPS email referenced but not fully provided in the excerpt.
