Opportunity Summary:

The Department of the Interior, National Park Service is issuing a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Cultural Resources, Partnerships and Science/Planning and Stewardship Branch" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00645). The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service expects to be substantially involved in the work alongside the recipient rather than simply issuing a standard grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category is listed as Education, and the underlying purpose is very practical and preservation-focused: supporting National Park Service cultural resource work through an intern position.

The core scope of work is to provide an intern who will assist with research and development tasks tied to Historic Structure Reports (HSRs) and Condition Assessment Reports for National Park Service park units in the Southeast Region. In plain terms, this is about documenting historic buildings and structures, understanding their history and significance, and evaluating their current physical condition so park staff can make well-informed preservation, maintenance, and stewardship decisions. The intern would likely help gather and organize source materials, compile background research, support field or archival documentation efforts as appropriate, and contribute to drafting or assembling portions of these formal reports under the guidance of National Park Service professionals.

Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. Only one award is expected, and the estimated maximum funding amount (award ceiling) is $50,200. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number associated with this opportunity is 15.931, which is commonly used for National Park Service assistance programs.

A key detail is that this posting is a Notice of Intent to Award and explicitly states it is not a request for applications. In other words, it is not an open competition and there is no application window for new applicants. Instead, it serves as public notice that the National Park Service intends to fund a specific financial assistance project without full and open competition. The notice was created on September 15, 2016, and the "closing date" language reflects that there is no standard deadline because the agency is not soliciting proposals through a competitive process.

Overall, this opportunity is best understood as targeted support for cultural resource documentation and preservation planning capacity in Southeast Region parks, delivered through an intern placement funded via a cooperative agreement with an eligible nonprofit partner, with a single award up to $50,200 and no open call for applications.
