Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "NOI Visitor Use and Social Science Branch Program Internships at Yosemite National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number J8813100014) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action intended to support internship-based workforce development and training tied directly to visitor use management at Yosemite National Park. It is structured as a cooperative agreement within the Employment, Labor and Training activity category and is connected to CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." In practical terms, the funding is aimed at engaging young adults in applied, conservation-related social science work that helps the park understand and manage how visitors move through and experience Yosemite.
This announcement is specifically labeled as a Notice of Intent (NOI), meaning the agency is signaling its plan to make an award rather than running an open competitive process. The National Park Service states its intent to award a Task Agreement to the Student Conservation Association, indicating a targeted partnership with that organization to place and support interns. The project focus centers on education and training opportunities for young adults through hands-on collaboration in several technical and planning areas: visitor use estimation work (measuring and forecasting visitation patterns and volumes), pedestrian modeling (analyzing how foot traffic flows through crowded corridors and destinations), and direct involvement with Yosemite National Park's User Capacity Management Program (a structured approach to determining and managing how much use an area can sustain while protecting resources and visitor experience).
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $63,600, with an award ceiling of $63,600 and an award floor of $0, and it anticipates making one award. A cost sharing or matching requirement is included, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute resources (cash and/or in-kind support) alongside federal funds, although the specific ratio or acceptable forms of match are not detailed in the excerpt provided. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Even though eligibility is described broadly in the listing, the NOI format and stated intent to award to the Student Conservation Association make clear that the planned recipient is already identified.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted and created on April 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 30, 2010, and an archive date of May 30, 2010. This short window is consistent with NOI postings that function more as public notices of an intended award rather than solicitations designed to attract multiple applicants. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Lilette Baltodano, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 510-817-1338.
