Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "History Intern, Arlington House - The Robert E Lee Memorial" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ3300100191), was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement. The funded activity centers on providing a history intern to support programming and events connected to the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War, with the work taking place at Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial. The underlying purpose is educational in nature, aligning with the funding activity category listed as Education, and it also falls under CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which commonly supports youth or early-career placements that contribute to public service, interpretation, and conservation-related mission goals.
Only one award was expected, and the funding amount was fixed, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $33,997. The opportunity also required cost sharing or matching, meaning the recipient was expected to contribute resources beyond the federal share, either through cash or allowable in-kind support, consistent with cooperative agreement terms. Because it is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, NPS likely anticipated meaningful involvement in the project, such as collaboration on intern duties, oversight, and alignment with site priorities for Civil War sesquicentennial activities.
Eligibility is effectively limited in practice because this notice was not a typical open competition. The opportunity is explicitly described as "for information purposes only" and is a Notice of Intent to make an award to the Student Conservation Association through a task agreement under an already-existing cooperative agreement. The notice also states the award had already been competed under internal NPS procedures, which signals that outside organizations were not being invited to apply through this posting. The listing of "Others" under eligible applicants reflects that the intended recipient was identified in the announcement rather than broadly opening eligibility to the public.
Key timing details show it was posted and created on May 18, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 19, 2010, and it was archived on June 18, 2010. The extremely short open period is consistent with a notice-of-intent style posting where the agency is announcing an intended action rather than soliciting applications. Anyone needing access to the full announcement or encountering access issues was directed to contact Rita Oliver, Contract Specialist, at 301-432-7890 or via email at ritaoliver@nps.gov.
