Opportunity Summary:
The "Internship Program at Harpers Ferry NHP" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00026) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice describing the agency's intent to continue supporting internship activities at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. The work falls under the National Park Service program area listed as CFDA 15.954, which covers conservation, protection, outreach, and education efforts, and the funding activity is specifically characterized as outreach and education. The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects substantial involvement in coordinating or overseeing aspects of the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
This posting is not an open, competitive solicitation. The notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications and is instead provided to give public notice that the NPS intends to continue funding the project without full and open competition. In practical terms, that language signals a continuation award or noncompetitive continuation of an existing relationship, rather than an opportunity where new applicants should expect to submit proposals for consideration. The original and current closing dates listed are January 4, 2015, with an archive date of January 30, 2015, reflecting the short public notice window typical for noncompetitive intent announcements.
Eligibility, as stated in the record, is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. Funding fields such as estimated total funding and award ceiling/floor are all shown as $0, which commonly occurs in notices that function primarily as an administrative public notice rather than a standard competitive grant announcement with defined funding amounts.
For further details, the listing points readers to Grants.gov and provides a direct contact at the National Park Service: Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable at 301-663-1481 or ritamihalik@nps.gov, particularly for anyone who has trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
