Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) funding action connected to Everglades National Park, but it is not an open grant competition. It is a "Notice of Intent to Award," which means the agency is publicly stating that it plans to make an award to support a specific project without going through full and open competition. In practical terms, this kind of posting is mainly about transparency and documentation rather than inviting new applications from the public. The project identified for funding is titled "Local Youth Internships - Resource Conservation" and is tied to an existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement P15AC00020).
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00372 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as collaborating on planning, oversight, or implementation, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal interaction. The activity category is labeled "Education," and the associated CFDA number is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the core purpose centers on engaging young people in conservation-related work and learning experiences.
In terms of scale and structure, the announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $126,112. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which usually reflects that a specific competitive range is not being advertised because the intent is to fund a pre-identified effort under the referenced cooperative agreement rather than solicit a set of proposals. There is no cost share or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute a required percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Although the posting includes an "eligible applicants" field indicating "for profit organizations other than small businesses," the central takeaway is that eligibility details are largely moot here because the notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications. The posting date and creation date are both September 1, 2015, with a closing date of September 10, 2015, and an archive date of September 15, 2015. Those dates function more like an administrative window for the public notice on Grants.gov rather than a true application deadline for competing applicants.
Overall, the government is announcing its intention to support local youth internship activities focused on resource conservation within Everglades National Park, using a cooperative agreement mechanism and a set funding amount, and doing so without full and open competition. Anyone needing the full announcement details or experiencing issues accessing the electronic posting is directed to contact Sandra Newton, the awarding officer, at 305-242-7028 or via email at SandraNewton@nps.gov. The listing also points to Grants.gov for the additional information link.
