Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Intergovernmental Internship Cooperative Youth Partnership Project 2015 additional funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00121 2) was a discretionary funding action issued by the National Park Service on August 19, 2015. It was structured as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources funding activity category and tied to CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs, Resources of the National Park System. The announcement reflects an intent to provide additional funding for an existing or continuing internship and youth partnership effort, rather than launching a new open competition.
A key point of this notice is that it was not a request for applications. Instead, it served as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award to Southern Utah University. The award was to be made through a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a cooperative research and assistance network commonly used by DOI bureaus to partner with universities and other organizations on projects involving science, natural and cultural resource stewardship, and training. The noncompetitive nature of the action was justified under Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which outlines circumstances where single-source or otherwise noncompetitive financial assistance awards may be appropriate.
In terms of funding scope, the estimated total funding amount listed was $248,000, with an expected number of awards of one. Both the award ceiling and award floor were listed as $0, which typically signals that the formal ceiling/floor fields were not used to express the funding range in the posting, even though an overall estimated total was provided. The announcement also specified there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The posting window ran from August 19, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 28, 2015, and an archive date of September 27, 2015. Because this was a single-source notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, the closing date functioned more as an administrative timeline for the public notice period than as a deadline for submitting proposals from multiple applicants.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
