Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Interpretation - SCA Park Guide Interns" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI 15 MACA 74355), is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agency's intent to make a single, non-competitive award through a Cooperative Agreement. It is published as a public notice only and is not a request for applications or proposals. In other words, there is no open competition, no application package to submit, and no broader applicant pool being solicited through this posting.
The purpose of the planned agreement is to formalize a partnership between the National Park Service and The Student Conservation Association (SCA). The central goal is to provide selected student interns with in-depth, high-quality work experience connected to NPS interpretive programming. The internship experience is intended to introduce participants to the way the National Park Service designs and delivers interpretation, including the research that informs interpretive content, the development of programs and materials, and the implementation of interpretive programming for park visitors. The overall activity category is education, and it is associated with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with youth and student engagement in conservation-related public service and learning.
The announcement indicates the funding instrument will be a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds (for example, working jointly on program direction, coordination, or oversight). The posting also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, signaling that the partner organization is expected to contribute resources toward the project rather than relying solely on federal dollars, although the specific matching structure would be detailed in the full announcement or the final agreement terms.
Only one award is expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $26,674. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which often appears in notices of intent or records where the formal financial parameters are handled in attached documentation or in the resulting agreement rather than expressed as a competitive range. The posting dates show it was posted on June 9, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 12, 2015, and an archive date of July 12, 2015. That short window is consistent with a notice-of-intent publication meant to provide transparency rather than to accept applications.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design because this is a single-source intent to award to the Student Conservation Association, and the listing explicitly states it is not a request for applications. The "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly labeled as "Others," but the eligibility clarification confirms the planned recipient is SCA, consistent with the non-competitive approach authorized under Department of the Interior policy (cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C).
