Opportunity Summary:
The Natural Resource Interns opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIHAFE1600490) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award, meaning it is not an open competition and it is not inviting new applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) plans to make a single, non-competitive task agreement under a cooperative agreement framework. The activity area is Natural Resources, and the program is associated with CFDA 15.931. In practical terms, this type of posting is mainly about transparency: it tells the public that NPS intends to fund a specific partner for work related to natural resource internship support, rather than soliciting proposals from multiple organizations.
The funding instrument listed is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply issuing a grant and receiving final reports. The eligible applicant type shown is nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but because the announcement is explicitly non-competitive, eligibility information is largely informational and does not function as an invitation for other organizations to apply. The notice indicates an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that the funding is intended for a single recipient and that no competitive selection process is planned.
Key dates indicate the notice was created and posted on April 14, 2016, with a closing date of April 28, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates are the same). Even though a closing date is provided, in a notice-of-intent context it generally reflects the posting period for the public notice rather than a deadline to submit applications. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which often means the ceiling was not specified in the public synopsis, was to be determined, or was omitted from the posting rather than literally indicating no funding.
Overall, this announcement is best understood as an informational publication documenting NPS intent to issue a non-competitive cooperative agreement task arrangement related to natural resource interns, rather than a grant competition that organizations can apply to during the posting window.
FAQs: Natural Resource Interns (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIHAFE1600490)
What is the Natural Resource Interns opportunity (NPSNOIHAFE1600490)?
This posting is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award related to natural resource internship support. It is primarily an informational, transparency-focused announcement stating that the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) plans to fund a specific partner through a single task agreement under a cooperative agreement framework.
Is this an open grant competition?
No. The notice is explicitly described as a notice of intent to award, which means it is not an open competition and it is not inviting new applications. It is not a solicitation for proposals from multiple organizations.
Can new organizations apply for this funding?
Based on the information provided, no. Even though an "eligible applicant type" is listed, the announcement is non-competitive and functions as a public notification rather than an invitation for organizations to submit applications.
Why does the notice list eligibility (501(c)(3) nonprofits) if it is not competitive?
The eligible applicant type shown is nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). In a notice-of-intent context, this kind of eligibility information is generally informational and descriptive of the intended award framework, rather than a call for new applicants to compete for funding.
What funding instrument is being used?
The funding instrument listed is a cooperative agreement. This typically indicates that the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work, rather than simply issuing funds and only receiving final reports at the end.
What does "cooperative agreement" imply for how the work will be carried out?
In general terms, a cooperative agreement suggests active participation by the agency in the project activities. The posting indicates that NPS expects a level of involvement beyond what is typical for a standard grant arrangement.
How many awards does NPS expect to make under this notice?
The expected number of awards is one. This reinforces that the funding is intended for a single recipient and that no competitive selection process is planned.

The closing date is listed as April 28, 2016 (the original and current closing dates are the same). In a notice-of-intent context, the closing date generally reflects the public posting period for the notice rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since the notice is not inviting new applications.
The award ceiling is listed as 0. Does that mean there is no funding?
Not necessarily. An award ceiling listed as 0 often indicates that the ceiling amount was not specified in the public synopsis, was to be determined, or was omitted from the posting. It typically should not be read as literally indicating zero dollars of funding.
What does "task agreement under a cooperative agreement framework" mean in this posting?
