Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Intergovernmental Internship Cooperative Youth Partnership Project 2013 (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00850MOD1) was a National Park Service discretionary funding action set up as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources activity area. Rather than being an open competition, it functioned as a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach, which generally signals that the agency had an approved justification to make a directed award instead of soliciting multiple applications.
In practical terms, this posting was not a request for proposals and was not seeking new applicants. Eligibility was effectively limited because the award was identified as a single-source action to Southern Utah University. The listing indicates one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $484,721. It also notes no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not expected to contribute a required non-federal share as a condition of receiving the federal funds. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, aligning the project with research, training, and capacity-building activities that support national park resources.
The timeline in the source data reflects the administrative life of the notice rather than a competitive application window. The opportunity was posted and created on August 27, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 1, 2013, and an archive date of October 1, 2013. Because it was a single-source, noncompetitive action, these dates primarily indicate when the notice was publicly displayed and then archived, not a period during which proposals from the public would be accepted or reviewed. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0, which is a common artifact in some federal listings when a specific award amount is provided elsewhere (here, the estimated total funding) or when the agency does not use standard ceiling/floor fields for this type of task agreement posting.
Overall, the opportunity describes a cooperative youth and internship partnership project administered through the NPS CESU network on the Colorado Plateau, with Southern Utah University named as the intended recipient. Anyone needing the full announcement or experiencing access issues was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392, which suggests additional details about the internship structure, partner roles, and project deliverables were contained in the attached announcement referenced in the notice.
