Opportunity Summary:
The Native Trout Conservation Intern opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIYELL1600361) is a discretionary National Park Service funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI-NPS) that falls within the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.931. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the government indicates it expects to make a single award.
This notice is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not a solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that the National Park Service intends to issue a non-competitive task agreement. In practical terms, this typically means the agency has already identified an organization for the award and is posting the notice to meet transparency and administrative requirements rather than to invite proposals from the public.
The eligible applicant type listed is nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the action is non-competitive and not open for applications, eligibility information functions more as a classification of the intended award recipient type than an invitation for other organizations to apply.
Key dates show the opportunity was created and posted on March 24, 2016, with an original and current closing date of April 7, 2016. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which often indicates that the funding amount is either not being publicly specified in the notice, is to be determined in the task agreement, or is otherwise not captured in the announcement fields. The title suggests the purpose is to support an intern focused on native trout conservation work, likely tied to fisheries or aquatic resource conservation priorities within the National Park Service, though the notice itself does not provide programmatic details beyond the intent to award.
