Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, publicly announcing its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a specific project called "2015 CHRI Environmental Stewardship Interns." The work is associated with Christiansted National Historic Site and Buck Island National Historic Site near Christiansted on St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. The key point is that this announcement is not a request for applications; it is simply a required public notice that NPS plans to fund a defined set of project activities with a named partner without full and open competition.
The planned award is being made under a master cooperative agreement (listed as P15AC00024) with The Conservation Legacy. The purpose of using this approach is to support education and natural resource related activities through a youth-focused conservation and stewardship internship effort. The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary program and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates that NPS anticipates having substantial involvement in the project beyond what would be expected in a standard grant.
Financially, the announcement indicates an estimated total funding amount of $24,400, with an award ceiling of $25,001 and no stated award floor. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing shows that NPS expects to make one award in total. The program is connected to CFDA number 15.931, labeled "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with the internship and stewardship focus described in the notice.
In terms of eligibility, the notice lists eligible applicants generally as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is a notice of intent to award without competition under an existing agreement, that eligibility language does not function as an open invitation to apply. Instead, it signals the standard eligibility framework for this type of assistance while clarifying that NPS is proceeding with a specific partner and project rather than soliciting proposals from the public.
The administrative timeline in the record shows the notice was posted and created on May 5, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 15, 2015, and an archive date of May 16, 2015. Those dates reflect the posting window for the public notice rather than an application period, since applications were not being accepted. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Sandra Newton, Financial Assistance Officer, at 305-242-7028 or SandraNewton@nps.gov. The public-facing listing also referenced Grants.gov for the additional information link.
