Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a "Notice of Intent to Award" from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), specifically tied to Buck Island Reef National Monument (BIRNM) on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The key point is that it is not an open funding competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS plans to make a single award without full and open competition under an existing cooperative agreement.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00096, with the title "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - Four (4) Buck Island Sea Turtle Student Interns." It falls under a discretionary funding category and will be issued as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates a partnership-style award where the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project activities. The funded work is categorized under Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA number is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with youth and student-focused conservation support.
NPS indicates it intends to fund project activities for a project titled "Buck Island Sea Turtle Interns in the BIRNM" through The Student Conservation Association (SCA) under Cooperative Agreement P15AC00031. The notice signals that NPS has already identified the intended recipient (SCA) and is publishing the notice to meet transparency requirements for a non-competitive award. While the listing includes an "Eligible Applicants" category of nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the practical reality in this case is that the announcement is not inviting proposals from other organizations.
In terms of funding details, the estimated total funding amount is $20,120, with an expected number of awards listed as 1. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the system record, which often happens in postings that function primarily as a notice rather than a competitive solicitation with defined ranges. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated.
The timeline reflects the administrative nature of the posting: it was posted and created on April 8, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 9, 2015, and an archive date of April 11, 2015. These short windows are consistent with notices of intent to award, since they are not collecting applications but simply documenting the agency's intent and providing a brief period of public visibility.
For anyone needing access assistance or clarification about the announcement, the contact listed is Sandra Newton, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable at 305-242-7028 or SandraNewton@nps.gov. The additional information link points to Grants.gov, where the opportunity record is hosted.
