Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service's intent to make a single, non-competitive award for a project called "Provide for Experiences in the Principles and Practices of Conservation and Resource Programs - One Year Trails Centennial Intern." It is published as a public transparency notice rather than an invitation to apply. In other words, the announcement is not seeking proposals, and it is not a request for applications; it is simply informing the public that the National Park Service plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition.
The opportunity is issued by the National Park Service under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0115, and it falls under the discretionary funding category. The expected funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency anticipates having substantial involvement in the project alongside the recipient, rather than providing a hands-off grant. The programmatic focus is in the Natural Resources activity category, and the underlying assistance listing is CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." The project title signals an emphasis on hands-on conservation training and exposure to resource stewardship work, framed around a one-year internship aligned with trails work and the broader Trails Centennial theme.
Financially, the notice indicates there will be one award with total estimated funding of $40,538. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $40,538, which implies the National Park Service anticipated an exact award amount rather than a range. The announcement also states that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute some portion of project costs or in-kind support as a condition of the agreement, consistent with how many cooperative agreements in youth conservation and service contexts are structured.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on August 6, 2015. The original and current closing dates are both listed as August 15, 2015, and the archive date is August 16, 2015. Those dates function more as administrative milestones for the public notice record than as a window for submitting applications, since the document explicitly states it is not open for competition.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a reference to additional eligibility clarification in the full text. That said, because this is a notice of intent to award without full and open competition, eligibility details are largely academic for the general public, as the purpose is to announce that the agency plans to fund the project through a non-competitive process rather than solicit applicants.
For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, at (215) 597-5949, with an NPS email address referenced in the source text.
