Opportunity Summary:
The "EDISON NHS YOUTH INTERNS FOR 2016" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS16 NERO 0080) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the agency is not seeking proposals from the general public through a competitive process. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to meet public-notice requirements by announcing that NPS intends to fund a specific set of project activities through an award made without full and open competition. In practical terms, this kind of notice typically signals that NPS has already identified an intended recipient or partner and is documenting the decision to proceed with a non-competitive award.
The planned funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance (for example, coordination, oversight, shared planning, or collaborative implementation). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, and the funding activity category is listed as "Other," with clarification noted to be in an additional text field (not included in the summary content provided). The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number associated with the opportunity is 15.931, which corresponds to NPS-related assistance programs.
Financially, the notice lists an anticipated award ceiling of $28,154 and expects to make one award. The posting was created and posted on June 15, 2016, and it shows a closing date of June 25, 2016. Because this is not an open solicitation, that closing date functions more as an administrative marker within Grants.gov than a deadline for public applicants to submit proposals. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with further eligibility detail referenced as being provided in an additional information field that is not shown here, reinforcing that this is not a typical open competition where eligibility rules and application instructions are central.
Overall, the announcement serves mainly as a transparency notice: NPS is stating its intent to fund youth intern-related activities connected to Edison National Historic Site (as implied by the title) via a single cooperative agreement, using a non-competitive process. Anyone seeking the specifics of the project scope, the intended recipient, or the justification for not using full and open competition would need to consult the "Related Documents" referenced in the posting, since the public-facing description is intentionally brief and focused on the notice function rather than application guidance.
