Opportunity Summary:
The George Melendez Wright Climate Change Internship Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIWASOP11AT70971) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice intended to support an internship program focused on climate change work in the natural resources arena. The program is designed specifically for current undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at colleges and universities, with the goal of providing hands-on, experiential learning. In practice, this means interns would be placed into real-world climate change-related projects where they can build practical skills, gain professional exposure, and contribute to applied work connected to stewardship and management of natural resources.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, and the notice indicates an expectation of a single award. The estimated total funding is $247,616, with an award ceiling of $247,616 and no stated minimum (award floor of $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The funding activity aligns with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, signaling that the work is tied to federal natural resource management objectives, likely with a strong applied component relevant to parks and public lands.
A key feature of this announcement is that it is not a typical open, competitive solicitation. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a non-competitive award. The NPS states that the action will be issued as a task agreement to the National Council for Science and the Environment under an existing cooperative agreement (H2306103507). In other words, while the eligible applicant category listed includes certain nonprofits (501(c)(3) organizations other than institutions of higher education), this particular announcement is announcing the agency's intent to fund a specific partner organization without competition, consistent with Department of the Interior policy (Department Manual 505 DM 2). This kind of notice is often published for transparency when an agency is making a directed award under an existing agreement vehicle.
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted and created on August 31, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2011, and it was archived on October 2, 2011. The very short open period is consistent with notices of intent for non-competitive actions rather than a broad call for proposals. For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988.
