Opportunity Summary:

This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Communications/Media and Museum Services/Archives Interns at Fort Monroe NM." It was posted by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0131, and it falls under CFDA 15.931. The key point is that it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS intends to fund specific project activities through a non-competitive process, meaning the agency plans to make the award without full and open competition.

The planned award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," implying the work does not fit neatly into a single standard category and should be interpreted in light of the internship-focused project scope described in the title (communications/media and museum services/archives support at Fort Monroe National Monument).

Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $28,051 and anticipates making one award. The posting shows a creation date of August 3, 2016, with an original closing date of August 12, 2016. In notices like this, the "closing date" is generally tied to the public notice period and related administrative timing rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since the announcement explicitly states it is not soliciting applications.

Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with a note to consult additional eligibility information in the full notice. In practice, this kind of language often points to a specific partner type (for example, a particular nonprofit, educational institution, or partner organization) that NPS intends to work with under the cooperative agreement, but the short summary data provided does not name the intended recipient. Anyone trying to understand the exact partner eligibility or the nature of the non-competitive justification would need to review the full text in the "Related Documents" section referenced in the announcement.

Overall, the notice functions primarily as a transparency document. It signals that NPS plans to support internship positions connected to communications/media work and museum services/archives activities at Fort Monroe National Monument, and that it intends to do so via a single cooperative agreement award up to $28,051, without running a competitive grants process for outside applicants.
