Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding action titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD: Provide Youth Interns with Experiences in the Principles and Practices of Historic Preservation Maintenance at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park (NHP)." The key point is that it is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition, meaning the agency has already identified its intended recipient or partner and is documenting that decision for transparency.
The project focus is youth workforce development tied directly to historic preservation maintenance at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller NHP. In practical terms, the funded work is meant to give youth interns hands-on experience in the principles and day-to-day practices involved in maintaining and caring for historic resources. While the notice does not list detailed work tasks in the excerpt provided, the title indicates training and supervised field experience related to preservation-oriented maintenance, which can include learning preservation standards, safe work practices, and appropriate methods for caring for historic buildings, landscapes, or associated features in ways that protect their historical integrity.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically implies substantial involvement by NPS in the project beyond simple pass-through funding, such as collaborating on project planning, providing technical guidance, coordinating site access, or helping oversee intern activities to ensure alignment with NPS preservation requirements and park priorities. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with clarification referenced in the original posting, which generally means it does not fit neatly into common categories like research or construction and is instead tied to specialized programmatic activities such as training and experiential learning.
The notice lists a single expected award with an award ceiling of $41,236. The posting and creation dates are May 10, 2016, with a closing date of May 19, 2016. Even though a closing date is shown, the document repeatedly emphasizes that this is not an open call for applications; the date typically reflects the administrative period during which the notice is posted and any required public-comment or documentation window rather than a deadline for competing proposals. The listing also references CFDA number 15.931, which is the NPS-related assistance listing used for certain park assistance and partnership activities. Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details normally contained in the full notice or related documents, but in the context of a noncompetitive intent-to-award, eligibility language is largely procedural since NPS is not inviting the public to apply.
Overall, this announcement is best understood as a transparency notice: NPS is documenting its intent to make one cooperative agreement award (up to $41,236) to support a youth intern program delivering practical historic preservation maintenance experience at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller NHP, and it directs readers to the related documents on Grants.gov for the complete justification, partner identification, and full project description.
