Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, announcing its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a project called the Biological/Fisheries Internship program at Everglades National Park. The key point is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a competitive grant solicitation, meaning the NPS is not asking the public to submit applications and is instead providing transparency that it plans to fund specific activities through a pre-existing agreement mechanism.
The opportunity is identified on Grants.gov as Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00147 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument. The activity area is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. The announcement indicates an expected number of awards of one, with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, and it lists award floor and ceiling as $0, which typically reflects that the exact award amount is defined in the agreement documents rather than expressed as a range in the public notice.
The notice explains that the award is intended to be made without full and open competition under Master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00015 with The American Conservation Experience. In practical terms, that means the NPS is relying on an established cooperative agreement relationship and is naming the intended partner organization rather than running an open competition among multiple applicants. Even though the eligibility field references 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (other than institutions of higher education), the substance of the announcement makes clear that this posting is not an invitation for other eligible entities to apply.
Timing details in the record show the notice was posted and created on May 26, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 5, 2015, and an archive date of June 6, 2015. In notices like this, the "closing date" functions more as the end of the public notice period than an application deadline, since no applications are being accepted.
