Opportunity Summary:
The Cultural Resources Diversity Internship Program (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00093) is a discretionary grant notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It was posted on April 1, 2016, with a closing date of April 15, 2016. The grant falls under CFDA 15.931 and is categorized under Employment, Labor and Training, indicating that the supported activities are tied to workforce development, internships, or training-related efforts within the National Park Service's cultural resources work.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public notification that the National Park Service intended to fund specific project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, this language signals a non-competitive or limited-competition award process, where the agency has already identified a recipient or a narrow set of eligible recipients and is documenting its intent to proceed under an allowable exception to typical competitive grantmaking procedures. The listing still appears in the grants system to provide transparency about federal funding actions.
The opportunity lists an expected number of awards of one, with an award ceiling of $9,600, suggesting a small, targeted internship or short-term training project rather than a large program rollout. The eligible applicant category is shown as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced but not provided in the text you shared. That usually means eligibility may be limited to a specific type of organization or partner (for example, a particular nonprofit, educational entity, or an organization with an existing relationship or qualifications relevant to the internship program), but the exact constraints would be defined in the missing eligibility field.
Overall, this announcement is best understood as a transparency posting for a planned, single award connected to a diversity-focused cultural resources internship effort within the National Park Service, rather than an open call inviting new proposals from the general public.
