Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Intergovernmental Internship Cooperative Youth Partnership Project 2015 additional funds opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00121MOD1) is a discretionary funding action administered by the National Park Service under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The purpose of the notice is to announce the National Park Service's intent to make a task agreement award using a cooperative agreement instrument. In practical terms, this means the funding is structured as a collaborative project where the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the work carried out under the agreement, which is common for internship, training, and applied resource stewardship efforts conducted through CESU partnerships.
This posting is explicitly not a request for applications and is not being competed. It is a notice of intent for a single-source, noncompetitive award issued under the Department of the Interior's policy authority at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The announcement states that the sole intended recipient is Southern Utah University, and the "Eligible Applicants" field points readers to additional eligibility details primarily to clarify that this is not open to general applicants. The opportunity is tied to CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which typically supports projects that build capacity, research, and training aligned with National Park Service resource management and mission needs.
The total estimated funding amount listed is $363,246, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting shows an expected number of awards of one, consistent with the single-source intent. Award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which often indicates that specific budgeting is handled within the attached announcement or within the negotiated task agreement rather than through a standard competitive range published on the notice.
Key dates reflect the administrative window for the notice: it was posted and created on July 24, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2015, and an archive date of September 1, 2015. Since it is not an open solicitation, the closing date functions more as a cutoff for the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submissions. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
