Opportunity Summary:
The "Native Trout Conservation Intern" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIYELL1600359) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agencys intent to make a single, non-competitive award related to natural resource work. It is not an open solicitation and it is not inviting proposals or applications from the public. Instead, it functions as a transparency notice that NPS plans to proceed with a task agreement under a cooperative agreement instrument.
This opportunity sits under the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS), and is categorized as a discretionary funding action in the Natural Resources activity area, tied to CFDA 15.931. The title suggests the work would support native trout conservation and would involve an intern role, but the posted notice provides no additional project narrative, scope of work, or location details beyond the intent to award.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which indicates the intended recipient is likely a qualifying nonprofit partner. However, because the award is explicitly non-competitive, the practical takeaway is that the recipient is already selected or predetermined through an existing partnership framework, and outside organizations should not expect a chance to compete for the funding through this announcement.
Key dates show the notice was created and posted on March 24, 2016, with a listed closing date of April 7, 2016 (original and current closing dates are the same). The listing shows an expected number of awards of one, and the award ceiling is shown as 0, which commonly means the public posting does not disclose a maximum dollar amount or that the amount is defined elsewhere in internal documentation or the associated agreement rather than in the notice itself.
In plain terms, this listing is best read as a public record that NPS intended to issue a single cooperative agreement task arrangement for a native trout conservation intern-related effort, without opening a competition for applicants.
