Opportunity Summary:
The Natural Resource Intern opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIORPI1600471) is a discretionary funding action announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It is listed under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.931. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s execution rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation.
This posting is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. In practical terms, the National Park Service is using the announcement to meet public notice requirements while stating its intention to issue a non-competitive task agreement to a specific partner rather than running a competitive application process. Because it is non-competitive, the posting does not function like a typical grant opportunity where multiple organizations submit proposals for consideration.
Eligibility is noted as limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Even though eligibility is stated, the non-competitive nature of the announcement means the agency is not inviting new applicants to apply. The opportunity indicates an expected number of awards of 1, reinforcing that a single awardee is anticipated rather than multiple recipients.
Key dates show the opportunity was created and posted on April 19, 2016, with an original and current closing date of May 4, 2016. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which often appears in notices like this when the agency is providing notice of intent without publishing a funding maximum in the announcement record, or when the amount is handled within an internal or separately documented task agreement.
Overall, this notice serves mainly as a transparency and administrative posting: it signals that the National Park Service plans to move forward with one cooperative agreement task arrangement related to a natural resource intern, without opening a competitive application window to the broader community.
