Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0091 titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD Facility and Interpretive Interns (Local NYC Preselect)." It is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public announcement that the NPS intends to make an award to support specific project activities without full and open competition. In other words, the recipient is effectively preselected (the title also signals a local New York City preselect), and the agency is publishing the notice to document that intent transparently.
The planned award would be made through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." That listing points to projects that typically engage youth or interns in conservation-related work, and in this case the project focus is on facility and interpretive interns, suggesting support roles that may include site maintenance or stewardship work (facility) and visitor services, education, or programming assistance (interpretive), likely within NPS-managed sites in or near New York City.
The notice anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $39,942. The award ceiling and award floor are both $39,942, indicating the amount is fixed for this action rather than a range. The announcement also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute some level of non-federal share (such as cash, donated labor, or other allowable contributions) consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement, although the specific match percentage or structure is not provided in the excerpted text.
Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," with a note to see additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification. Practically, because this is a notice of intent to award without competition and appears to involve a preselected local NYC participant, the eligibility field is less relevant for would-be applicants since the announcement is not open for submissions.
Key dates show it was posted and created on July 6, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2015, and an archive date of July 16, 2015. Those dates function more as administrative milestones for posting the public notice than as an application deadline, since the notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications.
For questions or if someone cannot access the full announcement electronically, the notice provides a point of contact: Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email address referenced (though not fully displayed in the provided text).
