Opportunity Summary:
This grant posting is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "SCA Conservation Interns - Weir Farm National Historic Site." It is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), National Park Service, and it is explicitly not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public and there is no open competition where multiple applicants submit applications for review. Instead, the agency is announcing that it plans to fund a specific set of project activities with a chosen partner, and the notice is primarily about transparency and public record rather than recruitment of new applicants.
The opportunity is identified on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number "NPS 16 NERO 0016" 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 as it is carried out, as compared with a standard grant where the recipient operates with more independence. The listing ties to CFDA number 15.931, which is associated with National Park Service related financial assistance. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with a note to consult the full announcement for clarification, suggesting the work does not fit neatly into common categories like research, construction, or education in the standard Grants.gov taxonomy.
The project focus, as implied by the title, is to support conservation internships connected to Weir Farm National Historic Site, likely involving hands-on resource stewardship and preservation-oriented work carried out by interns affiliated with the Student Conservation Association (SCA). While the short description in the listing does not spell out duties, SCA conservation intern programs at NPS units commonly support field-based tasks such as trail and grounds work, cultural landscape preservation, habitat and invasive species management, visitor-use area maintenance, basic resource monitoring, and other site support activities aligned with conservation and historic site operations. Because the notice directs readers to the "Related Documents" section for complete details, the specific intern roles, timelines, deliverables, and NPS involvement would be described in the full announcement rather than in the summary text provided here.
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $39,540 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). That points to one cooperative agreement being issued for up to that amount, presumably to cover costs associated with hosting and supporting one or more conservation interns at Weir Farm National Historic Site. The eligibility field is shown as "Others," with additional clarification presumably contained in the full announcement; however, because this is a non-competitive intent-to-award notice, eligibility is largely academic for would-be applicants since the NPS is not inviting submissions.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was created and posted on February 5, 2016, with a closing date of February 14, 2016. With notices like this, the closing date generally functions as an administrative cutoff for the public notice period on Grants.gov rather than an application deadline for competing proposals, since the announcement is not seeking applications. The posting also includes a general note that questions about navigating Grants.gov or general grant-application guidance can be found via the site contact links, but again, the primary action for anyone trying to understand the award is to review the full announcement attached under Related Documents.
