Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) funding action related to a Student Internship Program at Assateague Island National Seashore. It is published as a "Notice of Intent to Award," which means it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency step letting the public know that the NPS plans to make an award for the described activities without full and open competition.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0113 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that, beyond simply providing funds, the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with the clarification repeated throughout the notice that the key point is the intent to award without competition rather than to solicit applicants.
The notice anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The total estimated funding is $37,014, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $37,014, which signals that the NPS expects to make one award for exactly that amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
The funding is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. While the notice does not provide a detailed scope of work in the excerpt, the title indicates the project focus is a student internship program supporting Assateague Island National Seashore, which generally implies experiential training or internship support aligned with NPS resource management, interpretation, science, or operational needs at that park unit.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on August 8, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 13, 2014, and an archive date of August 14, 2014. For notices like this, the "closing date" functions less like a deadline for submitting applications (since applications are not being requested) and more like the end of the public notice period before the agency proceeds.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but the accompanying eligibility language again emphasizes that this is not a competitive opportunity and is simply a notice of the NPS intent to fund specific project activities through a noncompetitive process. In practical terms, that usually means the agency has already identified an intended recipient or partner organization for this cooperative agreement.
For administrative questions or help accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, with a phone number of 215-597-5949, and an NPS email contact referenced (though not fully shown in the excerpt).
