Opportunity Summary:
The Natural Resource Management Project at Lava Beds National Monument (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00274) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is important to understand that this announcement is not a request for applications and not a competitive solicitation. Instead, it serves as public notice that the NPS plans to make a single cooperative agreement award without full and open competition.
The NPS intends to fund American Conservation Experience (ACE), a qualified nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (and not an institution of higher education), because ACE is considered uniquely positioned to carry out the work. The notice explains that ACEs selection is based on demonstrable factors such as relevant technical expertise, potential cost-sharing capacity if applicable, geographic or logistical suitability, and the value of an established working relationship. ACE is described as a long-term key partner for NPS resource management efforts, and this award is framed as a continuation of that partnership to support natural resource stewardship along with public outreach and education.
The core purpose of the project is to advance conservation and resource management at Lava Beds National Monument while also providing structured, meaningful educational experiences for youth. Under the cooperative agreement, interns will participate in hands-on conservation service, gaining experience across a range of duties that combine field work with data entry and related administrative tasks. The work is also designed to be broad and developmental: interns will receive cross-training and will assist with other resource conservation management activities, including participation in both cultural and natural resource restoration projects. The overall emphasis is on developing practical conservation skills, strengthening stewardship outcomes for the park, and fostering understanding and goodwill through youth engagement in public lands work.
From a funding and administrative perspective, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, signaling active collaboration between the NPS and the recipient during project implementation. The funding activity category is listed under education and natural resources, and the associated CFDA number is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. The expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $119,875. The listing shows no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which often appears in older grant postings when specific ceiling/floor fields are not used in the standard way, even though an estimated total amount is provided.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on September 19, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 23, 2013, and an archive date of September 30, 2013. Because this is a notice of intent to award rather than an open call, the closing date functions more like a posting window for public notice than a deadline for applicant submissions.
