Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award: South Florida / Caribbean Inventory and Monitoring Network Youth Internship and Training Program (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00560) is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity area is natural resources and it is listed under CFDA number 15.945. Although it appears in the same systems where competitive grant solicitations are posted, this announcement is not a request for applications and is not open for competition.
The central point of the notice is that the NPS is publicly documenting its intention to fund a specific project through a task agreement issued under an existing master cooperative agreement: South Florida CESU Master Cooperative Agreement P16AC00032. In other words, rather than soliciting proposals from the general public, the agency is proceeding with an internally authorized award mechanism tied to a pre-established partnership framework. Because of that structure, applications will not be accepted, and the eligibility language ("Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)") reflects the fact that the award is associated with an already-defined cooperative agreement partner relationship rather than an open eligibility pool.
Programmatically, the purpose of the agreement is workforce development tied to the NPS South Florida/Caribbean Inventory and Monitoring Network. The project is designed to provide technical training and career opportunities to university students, with an emphasis on building a pipeline of skilled, well-trained, and ethnically diverse professionals who can compete for and succeed in entry-level positions within the National Park Service. The framing suggests a combination of hands-on experiential learning and practical skill-building relevant to natural resource monitoring and management, aligning student training with the operational needs of NPS inventory and monitoring programs in the South Florida and Caribbean region.
The notice indicates an expected single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $31,000. It was created on August 26, 2016, with an original closing date of September 5, 2016; however, in this context the closing date functions more like an administrative posting window rather than a proposal submission deadline, since the agency explicitly states it will not accept applications. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a transparency notice: the NPS is announcing its intent to fund a specific internship and training effort under an existing CESU cooperative framework, rather than inviting new applicants to compete for grant funding.

The eligibility language reflects that the award is associated with an already-defined cooperative agreement partner relationship rather than an open pool of eligible applicants. It is not meant to signal that new organizations or individuals can apply through this posting.
