Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service is announcing its intent to make a cooperative agreement award under the opportunity titled "Internship Training Program Southeast Regional Office, Cultural Landscapes Program" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00551). This is an education-focused discretionary funding action tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.946. The project centers on placing interns in a training environment where they support and learn from federal professionals working in historic preservation and closely related fields, with an emphasis on the National Park Service's cultural resources responsibilities.
The core purpose of the program is to provide hands-on, directed internship assignments that contribute to federal efforts in cultural resources management and protection. Interns are expected to assist with work connected to historic preservation and allied disciplines such as archeology, history, museum management, and landscape architecture. In practical terms, this means interns would be embedded in or working alongside National Park Service staff (particularly within the Southeast Regional Office context and the Cultural Landscapes Program), gaining experience in how cultural resources are identified, documented, evaluated, managed, and protected within federal stewardship frameworks.
Funding for this action is limited, with an award ceiling of $48,000 and an expectation of a single award. The eligible applicant type specified is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a more collaborative relationship between the federal agency and the recipient than a standard grant, often involving substantial federal involvement in the project during performance.
This notice is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications. In other words, it is not an open competitive solicitation, and it is being published to provide public notice that the National Park Service intends to fund this specific federal financial assistance project without full and open competition. The opportunity was created on August 24, 2016, and the listed closing language reinforces that there is no application deadline because the announcement is not seeking proposals from the public.
