Opportunity Summary:
The Native Plant Nursery Intern opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIGRCA1600256) is a discretionary funding notice from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS), under the Natural Resources activity category (CFDA 15.931). It is set up as a cooperative agreement and was posted and created on February 25, 2016, with a closing date of March 11, 2016.
This notice is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the agency is announcing it plans to make an award through a non-competitive task agreement rather than running an open competition where multiple organizations submit proposals. Although the eligible applicant type listed is nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the non-competitive nature of the announcement indicates the intended recipient is likely already identified by the National Park Service, and the posting serves primarily as a public record of the planned award.
The announcement indicates an expectation of a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically suggests the funding amount is either to be determined, not entered in the public listing, or handled within the task agreement documentation rather than stated in the synopsis. Overall, the opportunity appears to support a native plant nursery internship-related effort connected to National Park Service natural resource work, but it is not open for new applicants to compete for funding.
