Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS) published a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Education/Interpretation Intern for Manassas National Battlefield Park" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI MANA R3840120018. This notice is strictly a public information announcement, meaning it is not an open call for applications and is not asking organizations or individuals to apply. Instead, it is meant to formally notify the public that NPS intends to fund a specific project activity through a cooperative agreement.

This opportunity falls under the discretionary funding category and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. The activity category is listed as Education, and the related CFDA number is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." The listing indicates NPS anticipated making one award in connection with this project.

The estimated total funding amount is $26,423. The announcement lists both the award ceiling and award floor as $0, which often appears in notices that are not structured as competitive solicitations, or where specific award range details are not being presented in the synopsis. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute some portion of project costs or in-kind support, though the exact match terms are not provided in the summary fields and would normally be defined in the full funding opportunity text.

Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the instruction to see the full funding opportunity text for details and clarification. In practice, for youth conservation and internship style projects under this CFDA, eligible entities often include youth service or conservation corps organizations and similar partners, but this specific notice points readers back to the official announcement text for the definitive eligibility rules.

Key dates show the notice was posted and created on February 1, 2012, with an original and current closing date of February 2, 2012, and an archive date of March 3, 2012. Because this is a Notice of Intent rather than an application-based competition, the short window functions more like an administrative posting period for public awareness than a true application deadline.

For questions or help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 or by email at ritamihalik@nps.gov.
