Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Expand Access to Olmsted Archives Youth Internship" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0089. This posting is explicitly not a request for applications and is not a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to move forward with funding a specific set of project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency is announcing its intention to make a directed (single-source) award rather than inviting proposals from the broader public.
The planned award will be made through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funding. The opportunity is categorized under a discretionary program and is tied to CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," signaling that the core purpose is aligned with youth engagement and conservation or related public-benefit work. The project focus, as reflected in the title, is on expanding access to the Olmsted Archives through a youth internship component, implying structured internship work that supports archival access and public availability while providing hands-on experience for participating youth.
This notice identifies the intended recipient as the Student Conservation Association (SCA), described as a nonprofit entity, and clarifies that the award is single-source. In practical terms, that means eligibility is not open-ended: the announcement is primarily a transparency step to document that NPS intends to fund SCA directly for this work, rather than soliciting competing applications. The posting lists "ExpectedAwards: 1," reinforcing that only one award is anticipated under this notice.
Funding details are fixed and fully specified. The estimated total funding is $40,685, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $40,685, indicating a single award amount rather than a range. A cost sharing or matching requirement is listed as "Yes," meaning the project is expected to include some form of non-federal contribution (cash, in-kind support, or other allowable match), although the notice summary does not provide the match percentage or exact structure. The posting dates show it was published on July 6, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2015, and an archive date of July 16, 2015. In this context, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice window rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since submissions are not being requested.
For anyone seeking additional detail, the notice directs readers to consult the full announcement via the "Related Documents" section in Grants.gov. It also provides an agency contact for access issues with the announcement materials: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
