Opportunity Summary:
This grant posting is a Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), specifically connected to Christiansted National Historic Site. It is not an open funding competition and it is not asking outside organizations to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that the NPS plans to make a single cooperative agreement award to a specific partner without full and open competition.
The intended award is being made under an existing Master Cooperative Agreement, identified as P15AC00031, with the Student Conservation Association. The project described is titled "Historic Structures Intern in Christiansted National Historic Site," and the purpose is to support youth internship work focused on historic structures. In practical terms, the activity is framed as conservation and historic preservation support carried out through an intern placement, aligning with the National Park Service mission of protecting and maintaining culturally significant resources.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in guiding, coordinating, or supporting the work as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA number is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," reflecting that the work is tied to youth-focused conservation or preservation service programs.
The posting indicates there is one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $22,000. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is not structuring the posting as a competitive funding announcement with variable award ranges, but rather as a fixed, pre-identified intent to fund. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this award.
Timing details show the notice was posted and created on May 29, 2015, with a listed closing date of June 10, 2015, and an archive date of June 11, 2015. In this context, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline, since the announcement explicitly states it is not requesting applications.
Eligibility is listed broadly as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the substance of the notice makes clear the NPS is proceeding with a noncompetitive award under the master agreement to the Student Conservation Association, meaning other eligible entities are not being solicited to apply under this announcement.
For anyone needing the official posting or having trouble accessing it online, the notice provides a contact: Sandra Newton, Financial Assistance Officer, with phone number 305-242-7028 and email SandraNewton@nps.gov. The listing also references Grants.gov as the platform where the notice information is hosted.
