Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) published a discretionary funding notice titled "Notice of Intent Cultural Resources Interns" under Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00239. The agency is announcing its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award in the amount of $14,000 to support two cultural resources interns working with SEAC (as stated in the announcement) through the Student Conservation Association. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," and is categorized under Environment, Humanities (noted as Cultural Affairs in CFDA), and Natural Resources.
This announcement is not a competitive solicitation. It is explicitly a notice of intent to award, and the NPS states multiple times that proposals will not be accepted. Even though the listing includes general eligibility categories (public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits), the notice indicates the agreement is intended for the Student Conservation Association for the purpose described. In practical terms, outside organizations are not being invited to apply or submit applications for consideration.
The total expected funding is $14,000, with an award ceiling of $14,000 and an award floor of $0. The NPS anticipates making one award in total, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work compared with a standard grant, often through collaboration, oversight, or jointly defined deliverables.
The timeline provided in the posting reflects the administrative nature of the notice rather than an open application window. The opportunity was posted and created on August 7, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 8, 2014, and an archive date of September 8, 2014. Because proposals are not being accepted, these dates function mainly as the public notice period for the intended award rather than as deadlines for applicant submissions.
For reference or assistance accessing the full announcement, the notice lists an NPS point of contact: Celinda Hicks, Agreements Officer, reachable at 305-242-7742 or CelindaHicks@nps.gov. Additional details were made available through the Grants.gov listing linked in the announcement.
