Opportunity Summary:

The "Interpretive Youth Interns" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0044) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is important to understand that this posting is not an open call for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through an award made without full and open competition. In practical terms, this type of notice is typically used when the agency has already identified an intended recipient or a limited pool of eligible partners under a particular authority, and the posting is meant to document transparency about the planned award rather than invite new proposals.

The planned award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. While the posting itself does not lay out the workplan in detail, the title suggests the project is focused on youth interns performing interpretive work, which in the NPS context usually means supporting visitor services, education, guided programs, public engagement, and related interpretation activities within parks or NPS-managed sites. The activity category is listed as "Other," signaling that the specific project purpose and program fit are explained in the full Notice of Intent document linked in the related materials on Grants.gov.

Key administrative details include an award ceiling of $62,355 and an expectation of a single award. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.931, which corresponds to NPS-related assistance programs. The eligible applicants field is broadly labeled as "Others," with additional eligibility conditions referenced in a separate clarification field, implying that eligibility is not generally open to all applicant types and may be restricted to certain organizations or partners (for example, organizations that work with youth conservation corps, educational nonprofits, or other entities that commonly partner with NPS on internship and youth engagement programs). The notice was created and posted on May 4, 2016, and the closing date listed is May 14, 2016, though because it is not a request for applications, the date functions more as an administrative timeline for the notice period rather than a deadline for submitting proposals.

Anyone looking for the complete project scope, justification for the non-competitive award, and the intended recipient details would need to review the official Notice of Intent to Award document referenced under the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov. The posting also points users to Grants.gov support resources for general navigation help, but it does not provide application instructions because the purpose of the posting is disclosure, not solicitation.
