Opportunity Information: Apply for P15AS00189
The National Park Service (NPS) plans to fund the Geoscientists in the Parks (GIP) and Mosaics in Science (MIS) Programs through a cooperative agreement with the Geological Society of America (GSA). This funding opportunity, totaling approximately $679,052, aims to create internships for young Americans, particularly those from low-income or disadvantaged backgrounds, in support of science-based resource management.
The project will last from the award date until June 30, 2017, and focuses on engaging youth, emerging professionals, and veterans in meaningful work that enhances the conservation and understanding of America’s natural and cultural resources. Participants will gain valuable skills while working on projects that include inventorying, monitoring, and educational outreach about NPS lands.
Main goals of the initiative include employing young individuals, preserving public lands, and fostering a new generation of skilled citizens committed to environmental stewardship. The GIP and MIS Programs will provide resources, administrative support, and mentorship, while the NPS will be responsible for identifying projects, providing housing, and ensuring participant safety.
The cooperative agreement will facilitate a partnership where both parties work collaboratively to achieve educational and conservation outcomes, ultimately contributing to community involvement and the protection of natural resources.Apply for P15AS00189
