Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Facility Management and Park Guide Interns" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00064) under CFDA 15.931, categorized within the Education activity area. The intent of the project is to support and encourage young adults by creating paid work and/or education and training opportunities tied directly to real-world operations at the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site. In practical terms, the project centers on a partnership where interns gain hands-on experience by helping with two core areas of park operations: facility management (the day-to-day care and upkeep of site infrastructure) and visitor services (public-facing support that helps visitors understand and enjoy the site).
The funding instrument listed is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally signals a more collaborative relationship between the National Park Service and the recipient than a standard grant, often involving shared planning, coordination, or substantial involvement by the agency during the project period. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $49,634, with one expected award, indicating a small, focused project designed to support a limited number of intern positions or a single internship program run through a partner organization.
Eligibility is limited and somewhat specialized. The notice identifies eligible applicants as certain nonprofit organizations that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), as well as "others" with clarification referenced in an additional eligibility field not included in the excerpt. Importantly, this posting is not an open call for proposals. Both the original and current closing date fields state that it is a notice of intent for a restricted award and not a request for applications, meaning the agency is indicating its intent to make an award through a limited or pre-identified partner process rather than soliciting competitive applications from the general public.
The opportunity was created and posted on March 4, 2016, and it is framed as a workforce development and training effort that simultaneously advances the operational needs of a national historic site. The underlying goal is dual-purpose: provide meaningful entry-level career exposure for young adults in park operations and public interpretation, while strengthening the capacity of the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site to maintain facilities and deliver quality visitor experiences.
