Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Resource Managment Internship Program with GMU (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00267) is a National Park Service discretionary funding opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category. The purpose of the project is to support an internship program that gives students hands-on exposure to the National Park Service, with an emphasis on building practical familiarity with the resources found in eastern National Park Service park units. Through these internships, participating students are expected to learn how the NPS approaches resource management, including how staff apply NPS management policies and guidance in real-world settings, and how resource information is documented, managed, and analyzed using NPS data systems.
This opportunity is not an open call for proposals. It is explicitly identified as a single-source award to George Mason University, meaning the National Park Service intended to make one award to GMU rather than solicit applications from multiple organizations. Although the listing includes an eligible applicant category of public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the announcement states twice that it is not a request for applications and that the award is single-source to GMU. The expected number of awards is one, and the estimated total funding is $45,400. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on September 16, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 17, 2013, reflecting the fact that it was a targeted, non-competitive action rather than a traditional competitive grant cycle. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in postings where the total project amount is provided but formal minimum/maximum ranges are not specified in the standard fields.
For additional details, the announcement points to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact is Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer at the National Park Service (301-432-7890, ritamihalik@nps.gov), for help accessing the full announcement electronically.
