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 "Biotech Herpetology Intern" at Canaveral National Seashore. The key point is that this is only a public notice of an intended award and not an open call for proposals, meaning the NPS is not requesting or accepting applications under this posting.
The planned funding would be issued under an existing cooperative agreement vehicle (Cooperative Agreement P15AC00031) and would be made without full and open competition, with the intended recipient identified as The Student Conservation Association. The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and falls under the Natural Resources activity area, tied to CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." Eligible applicant types are listed generally as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), but because this is a notice of intent to award rather than a competitive solicitation, the practical outcome is that the funding is targeted to the named partner rather than open to the broader eligible universe.
Financially, the estimated total funding amount is listed as $15,254, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an expected number of awards of one, and it does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are shown as zero, which in these postings often reflects that a formal competitive range is not being established because it is not an application-based competition). The posting date and creation date are February 20, 2015, with an original and current closing date of February 21, 2015, and an archive date of February 25, 2015, reflecting how quickly intent-to-award notices are posted and then archived.
For anyone seeking more information or experiencing trouble accessing the announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Sandra Newton, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable by phone at 305-242-7028 or by email at SandraNewton@nps.gov.
