Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement from the Department of the Interior stating its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a specific youth internship and job-training project connected to Everglades National Park and Dry Tortugas National Park. The opportunity is titled "Notice Of Intent To Award: Engage Local Greening Youth Foundation Interns in Job Training Opportunities in Conservation and Natural Resources at Everglades and Dry Tortugas National Parks" and is identified by Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00456. Although it appears in the format of a funding opportunity, it is explicitly not open for competition and is not a request for applications.
The notice explains that applications will not be accepted because the work will be funded as a task agreement under an already-established, previously competed Master Cooperative Agreement (P15AC00020). In other words, the NPS is using an existing cooperative agreement framework to issue a project-specific task agreement, and this public posting serves primarily as transparency and public notice rather than a call for new proposals. The original posting date is August 8, 2016, with an original closing date of August 18, 2016, which functions more as the end of the public notice window than an application deadline.
From a program and workforce perspective, the project is focused on engaging youth interns between the ages of 18 and 25, specifically recruiting from an urban area adjacent to Everglades National Park. The central purpose is career exposure and job training tied to conservation and natural resources work. Interns are expected to be introduced to the parks natural and cultural resources, learn about management practices used by the parks, and gain awareness of employment pathways and opportunities within the National Park Service and related conservation fields. The mention of both Everglades and Dry Tortugas indicates that training and experiential learning may include activities, projects, or interpretive exposure connected to the resources and operational realities of both park units, even though the primary recruitment focus is near Everglades.
Administratively, the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that the NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. The opportunity is categorized under "Natural Resources" (CFDA 15.931), aligning it with federal assistance supporting conservation, resource stewardship, and related public-benefit activities. The notice lists an award ceiling of $272,095 and an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this is a targeted, single-project action rather than a broader grant competition. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with a note to see additional eligibility text, but in practical terms this detail is largely moot here because the agency is not accepting applications and is proceeding under an existing cooperative agreement vehicle.
Overall, the announcement is best read as a formal statement that the National Park Service plans to fund one predetermined task agreement to support Greening Youth Foundation interns (or a similarly structured youth internship partner under the master agreement) in hands-on conservation and natural resource job training connected to Everglades and Dry Tortugas National Parks, with the broader goal of building skills, familiarity with park resource management, and a clearer pipeline to conservation employment for local young adults.
