Opportunity Summary:
The Climate Change Communication Internship Program (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00189) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement focused on supporting internship work tied to climate change communication in national parks within the National Capital Region. The core purpose is to continue existing internship projects that either conduct research or take existing research findings and turn them into practical communication outputs, such as climate change messages, educational products, interpretive materials, and outreach programs designed for park audiences.
This opportunity falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs; Resources of the National Park System). The emphasis is not simply on academic research for its own sake, but on applying credible climate-related information in ways that help parks communicate clearly and effectively with visitors and stakeholders. In practice, that could include developing interpretive content, supporting public-facing communication strategies, creating educational tools, or helping design and deliver programs that explain climate impacts and response efforts in a park context.
A key detail is that this posting is not a request for applications. NPS explicitly states the notice is being issued to inform the public of its intent to fund project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency is planning to support a specific continuation effort rather than run a competitive grant round. As a result, although an eligibility category is listed (public and state-controlled institutions of higher education), the announcement is structured as a sole-source or limited-competition notice rather than an open call where multiple applicants submit proposals for review.
The opportunity was posted and created on July 22, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 27, 2014. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing shows an estimated total funding amount of $0 and both the award ceiling and floor as $0, which often indicates that the public notice is being provided for transparency purposes and that specific funding details are handled through the planned agreement or continuation action rather than through a standard competitive solicitation with published award ranges.
For additional details, the announcement points to Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov). Questions or access issues are directed to the NPS financial assistance contact: Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, at 301-663-1481 x5 or ritamihalik@nps.gov.
