Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating its intent to make a single, non-competitive award for an internship effort based at Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument in Idaho. It is explicitly not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public notification that NPS plans to issue a task agreement under the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps (21CSC) Program, specifically within the Youth Engagement and Development focus area. The notice is published to satisfy internal Department of the Interior policy requirements (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which generally require agencies to document and publicize certain non-competitive funding decisions.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning NPS anticipates having substantial involvement in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under the activity areas of education, environment, and natural resources. The associated CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which aligns with youth-based conservation and public lands service initiatives.
Funding details indicate an estimated total of $55,000 for the project, with a typical funding range described by an award floor of $40,000 and an award ceiling of $65,000. NPS expects to make one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, so the intended recipient is not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of the agreement.
Eligibility is limited in a way that reflects the non-competitive nature of the action. While the listing notes eligible applicants as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the closing language makes it clear that applications will not be accepted except from the intended recipient. In practice, that means other organizations should not expect to apply or compete for this particular funding; the eligible applicant language reflects the type of organization NPS is partnering with rather than an open competition.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 14, 2015, with an archive date of July 25, 2015. The closing date field repeats that applications will not be accepted except from the intended recipient, reinforcing that the public notice is informational and compliance-driven rather than a solicitation.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials or having trouble retrieving the notice through Grants.gov, the listed point of contact is Sarah Welch, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable at (360) 854-7220 or via email at SarahWelch@nps.gov. The notice also indicates that the complete details can be viewed through the "Full Announcement" link in the Related Documents section on Grants.gov.
