Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, published a grant notice titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD: Cultural Landscape Planning Intern" under funding opportunity number NPS 16 NERO 0184. The key point of the posting 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 a specific set of project activities through an award that will be made without full and open competition. In practical terms, that usually means the agency has already identified an intended recipient (or a very limited pool of recipients) and is posting the notice to meet transparency and administrative requirements rather than to solicit new applicants.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing funding and receiving final deliverables at the end. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is listed under the activity category "Other," with the title indicating the work centers on supporting a cultural landscape planning intern function. While the brief listing does not describe the intern duties or work products, the title implies support for cultural landscape planning efforts, which in NPS contexts often relates to documenting, evaluating, and planning for the preservation and management of historically or culturally significant landscapes.
The notice lists CFDA number 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service-related financial assistance programming. The anticipated funding level is modest and targeted: an award ceiling of $28,062, with an expectation of a single award. The creation date for the opportunity posting is September 6, 2016, and the original closing date is September 16, 2016, which aligns with the idea that this is an administrative notice rather than a competitive application window.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the listing indicating that additional eligibility details would be found in an eligibility clarification field or in the attached "Related Documents." Because the posting emphasizes that it is not requesting applications, the eligibility category is less relevant for prospective applicants than it would be in a standard competitive grant. Anyone looking for the full rationale for the noncompetitive approach, the intended recipient, specific project activities, or detailed terms would need to consult the documentation referenced on Grants.gov under "Related Documents," since the summary text provided in the listing is intentionally limited and mainly serves the purpose of public notice.
