Opportunity Summary:
The "Living Collections Research Intern" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 064) is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," indicating it does not fall neatly into a standard research, education, or construction bucket and instead aligns with a specialized project purpose described by the program.
This posting is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS is using the announcement to provide public transparency that it plans to fund a specific project without a competitive application process. Because it is non-competitive, the announcement is not inviting new proposals from the general public and should not be read as an open call where multiple applicants can submit for consideration. The notice serves as a formal disclosure of the agency's intention to move forward with one planned award.
The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $31,896. The posting was created and published on June 1, 2016, with a listed closing date of June 11, 2016 (the original and current closing dates are the same). Even though a closing date is shown, in notices like this it typically functions more as an administrative timeline marker for the public posting period rather than a deadline for competing submissions, since the agency has already indicated it will proceed without competition.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a note pointing to additional eligibility details elsewhere in the full announcement package. However, since the notice is not seeking applications, eligibility categories mainly reflect how the award is formally classified rather than signaling that outside organizations should apply. The core takeaway is that the NPS is announcing, for public record, its intent to fund a specific set of project activities related to a "Living Collections Research Intern" through a cooperative agreement, issuing one award up to $31,896, and doing so through a non-competitive process.
