Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued this posting as a formal public notice that it intends to make a single cooperative agreement award for a youth internship project supporting natural resource work in the South Florida Caribbean Network. The key point is that this is a "Notice of Intent to Award" and not a competitive grant solicitation. In other words, the NPS was not asking organizations to submit applications; it was announcing that it planned to fund a specific set of activities with a specific partner organization without holding a full and open competition.
The project is titled "Inventory and Monitoring Network Youth Interns in the South Florida Caribbean Network" and is associated with the South Florida Caribbean Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The CESU framework is commonly used by federal land management agencies to collaborate with academic and research partners on conservation science, applied research, and technical assistance. Here, the intended partner is identified as the SOUTH FLORIDA CARIBBEAN COOPERATIVE ECOSYSTEM STUDIES UNIT, and the award is being made under an existing cooperative agreement reference, H5000 10 5040. The emphasis on "inventory and monitoring" indicates that the funded work is meant to support the network's natural resource data collection and tracking efforts, which typically include field-based monitoring, standardized protocols, and support activities that help parks and networks understand ecological conditions and trends over time.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on July 16, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 26, 2015, and an archive date of July 27, 2015. The funding opportunity number is P15AS00216. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared with a standard grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) program number is 15.954, listed as "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education." The notice anticipated one award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $47,536. It also states no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not expected to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as 0, which in many archived postings reflects that the agency did not specify a range in that field even though an estimated total funding amount is provided elsewhere.
For eligibility, the notice lists "Private institutions of higher education," aligning with how CESU partners are often universities or university-affiliated entities, though in this case the purpose of the posting is informational rather than to invite eligible applicants. Anyone needing help accessing the announcement was directed to contact Sandra Newton, Financial Assistant, at 305-242-7028 or SandraNewton@nps.gov. The notice also points readers to Grants.gov for additional information via the provided link.
