Opportunity Summary:
The "Internship Training Program Northeast Regional Office" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00072) is a National Park Service (NPS) funding announcement that serves as a public notice of intent to award, not an open call for applications. In other words, it is not soliciting proposals from the public. Instead, NPS is announcing that it plans to fund a specific set of internship and training activities through a non-competitive (single source) cooperative agreement arrangement.
The planned recipient is the National Council for Preservation Education (NCPE), a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status. The award is structured as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (P12PA30140). The identified program manager/principal investigator is Cari Goetcheus. The anticipated total award amount is listed as $64,440, with no cost share or matching requirement. The period of performance is from the date of award through September 30, 2014, with the agreement running through the same end date.
The core purpose of the project is to expand training and professional development opportunities for qualified undergraduate and graduate students who are studying historic preservation and closely related fields. The internships are meant to give students practical exposure to federal historic preservation work by placing them alongside federal professionals and assigning them short-term, project-based tasks tied to cultural resource stewardship. The announcement highlights that interns may support professionals working in historic preservation and allied areas such as archeology, history, museum management, and landscape architecture, with assignments centered on federal cultural resources management and protection efforts.
Examples of the types of intern duties described include archeological, architectural, or landscape surveys; historical research and documentation; technical writing and publication development; cataloging and managing artifacts and records; conservation-related support activities; database and web page creation and maintenance; and hands-on condition assessment and minor repair work for historic structures. Overall, the work is framed as educational, skill-building, and directly connected to preserving and managing historic and cultural resources within federal programs.
NCPEs role under the task agreement is to use its established program framework to recruit and select additional interns (and, in limited cases, extend existing training projects already underway). NCPE is also responsible for making the financial and technical arrangements needed for the trainees to work in Washington, DC and other locations as required. A key expectation is that NCPE will try to match intern qualifications and interests with NPS project needs.
NPS anticipates substantial involvement, which is why the instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a more hands-off grant. NPS will assist in selecting interns from candidates identified by NCPE, provide mentoring and access to necessary materials, tools, supplies, and training, and actively supervise the internship experience. That supervision includes assigning tasks aligned with each trainees skills and interests, providing direction during the work, and reviewing deliverables to ensure the internship meets its training and program goals.
This award is being made without full and open competition under the Department of the Interior single-source policy (505 DM 2), using the "Unique Qualifications" justification category. NPS states that NCPE was selected because of its unique role, background, and experience in preservation education nationally, and because the project continues work already authorized under the existing cooperative agreement. The announcement also cites statutory authority under 16 U.S.C. 1g, which allows NPS to enter into cooperative agreements and transfer appropriated funds to eligible entities, including nonprofit organizations, to carry out NPS programs for a public purpose.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding with an education activity focus, and it is associated with CFDA 15.915 (Technical Preservation Services). Although an "expected awards: 1" entry appears, the key practical point is that this notice is describing a pre-identified award to NCPE rather than inviting competing applicants. The listed NPS point of contact for questions is June Zastrow (303-987-6718, junezastrow@nps.gov).
