Opportunity Summary:
The Hurricane Sandy Deer and Plant Biology Interns opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0011) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice issued as a Notice of Intent to Award. It is not a solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that NPS planned to fund specific project activities through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition, meaning the agency intended to make a direct award rather than run a competitive grant process.
The announcement was posted on December 5, 2014, with an original and current closing date of December 10, 2014, and it was later archived on January 9, 2015. The activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation tied to Hurricane Sandy, indicating the project was associated with Sandy-related response, recovery, or resource management needs. Only one award was expected, and the estimated total funding amount was $32,893. The funding range was fixed, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $32,893, which signals the intended award amount was predetermined rather than variable.
This opportunity falls under CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which typically supports conservation-oriented work carried out with youth or intern crews and similar service programs. The listing indicates that cost sharing or matching was required, so the recipient organization was expected to contribute resources (cash and/or in-kind support) to meet the match requirement specified in the full agreement terms.
Eligibility is not presented as an open list of applicant types because the notice is not competitive. The Eligible Applicants field is broadly labeled "Others," with additional eligibility details effectively restating that this is a notice of intent to award rather than an application opportunity. In practical terms, that usually means NPS had already identified an intended partner organization to host or manage interns supporting deer and plant biology work connected to Hurricane Sandy impacts or restoration priorities.
