Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service YPP Intergovernmental Internship Cooperative Youth Partnership Project 2014 (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00968MOD2) was a National Park Service discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity area. The award was to be made through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), using a task agreement mechanism. In practical terms, this means the work was intended to be carried out under the CESU framework, which is commonly used by the Department of the Interior and partner institutions to support research, technical assistance, and training efforts tied to public land and resource management priorities.
This notice was explicitly a notice of intent rather than an open solicitation. It stated that it was a noncompetitive, single-source action in line with Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The announcement also made clear that it was not a request for applications and that there was no competitive application process. Eligibility, as described, was limited to a single recipient: Southern Utah University. The "Eligible Applicants" field was therefore not meant to invite broad submissions, but instead to document the planned recipient and the nature of the award as a directed, single-source cooperative agreement.
The anticipated funding level for the project was listed as an estimated total of $43,700, with one expected award. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. The award ceiling and floor were both shown as $0, which is a common way some postings reflect that there is no published minimum or maximum for applicants to propose against, especially in postings that function as notices of intent rather than true competitions. The CFDA listing associated with the action was 15.945, identified as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with CESU-type work that supports National Park Service mission needs through cooperative research, internships, training, and related applied projects.
The posting timeline reflects a very short public notice window. It was posted and created on August 25, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 29, 2014, and it was later archived on September 28, 2014. Because the notice was not a request for applications and was intended as a single-source award, the brief open period functioned more as a formal public posting requirement than as an opportunity for other organizations to compete.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
