Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Community Outreach, Visitor Education, and Interpretation Interns," also referenced as "Community and Visitor Education and Interpretation." This notice is purely a public announcement of NPS's plan to fund specific project activities and is not an open call for proposals or applications. In other words, there is no competitive application process tied to this posting, and the listing exists to document that NPS intends to make an award without full and open competition.
The opportunity is identified on Grants.gov as Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00391 and is categorized as a discretionary cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources activity category. NPS indicates it expects to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $0, which is commonly used in notices like this to indicate that standard competitive range figures are not being provided because the action is an intent-to-award notice rather than a solicitation. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated.
The intended recipient named in the notice is the Great Basin Institute, and the funding would be issued under Task Agreement P14AC01799, which falls under a larger master Cooperative Agreement (P11AC000158). The associated CFDA program number is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," signaling that the work aligns with youth-focused conservation and public service activities, likely involving internship placements that support community outreach, visitor education, and interpretive programming connected to NPS sites or initiatives.
Although the listing includes an "Eligible Applicants" field stating that eligible entities are nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), that eligibility information does not change the practical reality of this particular posting: it is not requesting applications, and the closing date fields explicitly repeat "THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS." The posting was created and posted on September 20, 2014, and it was archived on September 27, 2014. For anyone needing access to the full announcement or having trouble retrieving it electronically, the notice provides a point of contact: William Nash, Contract Specialist, at 415-623-2262 or WilliamNash@nps.gov.
