Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service IMR Geographic Resources Division Internship opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00369) is a discretionary funding action issued by the National Park Service under a Cooperative Agreement, with the work falling within the Natural Resources activity area. Rather than being an open, competitive grant solicitation, it is formally described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award. The award is to be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework the NPS uses to collaborate with academic and other qualified institutions on research, technical assistance, and training that supports stewardship of national park resources.
The announcement makes clear that this is not a request for applications and not an opportunity where multiple organizations can apply and compete. Instead, it is a single-source action specifically intended for the University of Colorado Denver, and it is being processed in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which governs when and how noncompetitive financial assistance awards may be made. In practical terms, the public posting functions mainly as a transparency notice that the NPS intends to fund a particular partner for a defined purpose related to an internship within the IMR (Intermountain Region) Geographic Resources Division.
Financially, the posting lists an estimated total funding amount of $34,061 and indicates that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. It anticipates one award. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically reflects that the standard fields were not used to express a range, while the estimated total funding figure conveys the expected amount for the single task agreement. The associated CFDA number is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with internship and training-style support that contributes to NPS mission needs.
Timeline details show the opportunity was posted and created on April 21, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 25, 2014, and an archive date of May 25, 2014. Because it is not a competitive call for proposals, the short posting window is consistent with a notice-of-intent style announcement rather than an application period. For anyone needing the full text referenced in the posting, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303, particularly for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
