National Park Service Intergovernmental Internship Cooperative (IIC) Youth Partnership Project, Phase III Cedar Breaks National Monument sponsoring park unit | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service Intergovernmental Internship Cooperative (IIC) Youth Partnership Project, Phase III for Cedar Breaks National Monument is a discretionary funding action issued by the National Park Service (NPS) under a cooperative agreement framework. The opportunity is tied to natural resources work and is being carried out through the NPS Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership-based mechanism NPS uses to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education-related projects. The notice describes the NPS intent to make a task agreement award rather than run a typical open competition.

This posting is specifically a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the NPS already identified the partner organization it plans to fund and is publishing the notice for transparency and documentation purposes, not to solicit proposals from the public. The listed eligible applicant category is “Others,” but the eligibility section clarifies that this is not a request for applications and that the single intended recipient is Southern Utah University. Because of that structure, the opportunity does not function like a standard grant competition where multiple entities apply and the agency selects winners.

The sponsoring park unit is Cedar Breaks National Monument, and the project title indicates this is the third phase of an ongoing youth partnership internship effort under the IIC model. While the notice itself does not provide detailed work plans in the summary text, the framing strongly suggests the funding supports youth or student internship placements and related cooperative project activities connected to park resource needs, consistent with CESU and IIC objectives. Cooperative agreements typically involve substantial involvement by the federal agency beyond simply issuing funds, such as coordination, oversight, training alignment, or joint project execution.

Key funding details include an estimated total funding amount of $67,300 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices that are not structured as open solicitations and may be using system defaults rather than reflecting a competitively defined range. The expected number of awards is listed as 0, which aligns with the fact that this is a notice of intent rather than an application-based competition; the actual action anticipated is a single task agreement under the CESU.

The opportunity was posted and created on July 21, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 26, 2010, and an archive date of August 25, 2010. The short open period also fits a notice-of-intent format, where the purpose is primarily public notice rather than giving applicants time to develop proposals. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIJ1360100176, and the activity is categorized under natural resources. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 “Not Elsewhere Classified,” a placeholder-style classification sometimes used when the posting does not map cleanly to a single CFDA program listing.

For access or administrative questions, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392, with the note that assistance is available if the full announcement cannot be accessed electronically.
