Opportunity Summary:
Furthering Informal Education Activities in DOI (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00258) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action that supports education-related work through a cooperative agreement. The purpose of the award is to continue an existing collaboration between the NPS Partnership Office and the University of Maryland, College Park focused on building and maintaining a student internship pipeline. Specifically, the project centers on recruiting, selecting, and placing student interns into Communications, Outreach, and Media internship roles within the Washington Support Office (WASO) Partnership Office. In practical terms, the funding is meant to keep an established arrangement running so the office can consistently bring in student talent to help with public-facing communication and partnership-focused outreach activities that support the Department of the Interior and the National Park Service mission.
This opportunity is not an open competition and is not a request for applications. The announcement clearly states it is a single-source award to the University of Maryland, College Park for continuation of an existing project, with both the original and current closing dates listed as September 13, 2013. The expected number of awards is one, and the estimated total funding is $35,482. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, and the award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically indicates that the announcement is not structured as a competitive range but rather as a continuation action where the total amount is provided separately.
Eligibility, in general terms, is associated with public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but because the notice is single-source, the intended recipient is explicitly the University of Maryland, College Park. The assistance listing connected to this award is CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System), which aligns with capacity-building, training, and educational engagement efforts tied to NPS resources and mission delivery.
