Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "NCSE Task for NPS Wilderness Intern" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice describing the intent to support an intern position within the NPS Wilderness Stewardship Division. The purpose of the project is straightforward: to provide an intern opportunity that supports the work of the Wilderness Stewardship Division, which falls under the broader natural resources mission area. Rather than being a wide, open competition, the announcement is specifically framed as a notice of intent to make a non-competitive award.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the award is expected to be issued as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (H2306103507). The intended recipient is the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE), meaning the NPS planned to fund this work through a direct, sole-source type arrangement rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants. The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy guidance, specifically Department Manual 505 DM 2, as the basis for using a non-competitive approach. In practical terms, that means the agency is publicly documenting its plan to make an award without competition in accordance with internal policy requirements.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $50,000, with an award ceiling of $50,000 and an award floor of $0. Only one award is anticipated. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is described as limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is a notice of intent for a non-competitive award to a specific organization under an existing agreement, the practical implication is that the opportunity was not designed for general applicants to compete for the funding, even though an eligibility category is still listed in the record.
Key dates show how short the public notice window was: it was posted and created on April 14, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 19, 2011, and an archive date of May 19, 2011. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIWASOR2462110002. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988.
