Opportunity Summary:
The "Endangered Species Recovery Intern" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIGRCA1600255) is a discretionary National Park Service (DOI-NPS) funding action in the Natural Resources activity area, listed under CFDA 15.931. It is structured as a cooperative agreement and is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a competitive grant solicitation. In practical terms, this posting is not inviting new proposals or applications; it is being published to satisfy public notice requirements and to communicate that the National Park Service intends to make a single, non-competitive task agreement award.
The eligible applicant category shown for the record is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) IRS status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the key point is that eligibility details do not function as an open invitation here because the award is not being competed. The announcement indicates an expected total of one award, with an award ceiling listed as 0, which typically means the specific funding amount is not provided in the public listing or is to be determined/managed within the associated agreement documentation rather than through an open application process.
The notice was created and posted on February 25, 2016, and it lists March 11, 2016 as both the original and current closing date. Because it is not a request for applications, that closing date should be understood as the end of the public notice period or the administrative window for the posting, not a deadline for submitting proposals. Overall, the opportunity is best interpreted as an administrative transparency posting about a planned, sole-source (non-competitive) cooperative agreement related to supporting endangered species recovery work through an intern role, rather than an opportunity that organizations can apply to through standard grant competition channels.
