Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service YIP Career Internship Corps (CIC) Project Intergovernmental Internship Cooperative opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1360110065) is a discretionary funding action issued by the National Park Service (NPS) as a cooperative agreement in the natural resources program area. It was posted on April 20, 2011, created on May 17, 2011, and carried an original and current closing date of April 24, 2011, with an archive date of May 24, 2011. The estimated total funding amount associated with this action is $217,672, and the opportunity anticipated a single award.
This notice is not a standard, open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly identified as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award made under the Department of the Interior authority cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency is announcing its intention to make a specific award without soliciting proposals from the broader public, and the listing exists primarily for transparency and documentation rather than to invite applications.
The award is described as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks often used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education that support resource management needs. Here, the CESU mechanism indicates the work will be carried out under an established cooperative framework, typically involving substantial involvement by the NPS in coordination, oversight, or collaborative implementation, which is consistent with the use of a cooperative agreement rather than a traditional grant.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design. Although the listing’s general eligibility field references "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the opportunity statement clarifies that this is a single-source award to Southern Utah University. As a result, other entities are not being invited to apply, and no cost sharing or matching is required for this action as posted. The listing also shows award floor and ceiling values of $0, which generally reflects that a specific negotiated amount is being used rather than a competitively ranged set of award sizes published for applicants.
Anyone needing help obtaining the full announcement was directed to contact Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392. The summary language also notes that additional details were contained in an attached announcement, implying that specifics such as the internship scope, deliverables, timelines, reporting requirements, and roles of the parties would be defined in the attachment and in the resulting task agreement documents rather than in the brief synopsis provided in the public notice.
