Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Historic Preservation Graduate Internship (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00147) is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service (NPS) that is being issued as a cooperative agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, this notice is not structured like an open, competitive grant competition where multiple applicants submit proposals. Instead, it serves as a formal notice of intent that NPS plans to make a noncompetitive, single-source task agreement award under established Department of the Interior policy (specifically DOI 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The funding activity is categorized under Natural Resources, and it ties to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to the resources of the National Park System.
This opportunity is explicitly not a request for applications. The eligible applicant information clarifies that the award is intended for a single institution: the University of Pennsylvania. As a result, other universities, organizations, or individuals are not being solicited to apply through this announcement, and the posting functions mainly as a transparency and documentation step associated with the planned award. The notice indicates that the action will result in a task agreement, which typically means the work is defined within a broader cooperative framework (the CESU) and then implemented through a specific agreement that lays out the scope of work, responsibilities, and deliverables.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $99,674 and anticipates one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which often appears in notices that are not open competitions or where the public-facing system fields do not reflect negotiated agreement totals in the same way as competitive announcements; the estimated total funding amount is the meaningful figure provided. The opportunity was posted and created on February 24, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 3, 2014, and an archive date of April 2, 2014, reflecting the short administrative window typical of a notice-of-intent posting rather than a full application cycle.
Anyone needing help obtaining the full announcement materials is directed to contact the NPS grants management specialist listed: Kelly Adams, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
