Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a 2016 project focused on hiring and supporting summer interns to assist with interpretation and outreach activities at three NPS units in the Northeast: New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park (NHP), Roger Williams National Memorial (NM), and Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park (NHP). The key point is that it is not a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that the NPS plans to make an award to support specific project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency is signaling an intended, pre-identified recipient arrangement rather than asking the public to submit applications.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action and would be executed through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project (for example, coordinating intern duties, shaping work plans, or collaborating on outreach priorities) rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal engagement. The activity category is labeled as "Other," suggesting the primary purpose is practical program support (intern staffing for interpretive and outreach functions) rather than a standard research, construction, or infrastructure grant category.
From the published metadata, the opportunity number is NPS 16 NERO 0094, and it falls under CFDA 15.931, a funding line commonly associated with NPS resource and visitor-oriented assistance. The announcement was created on June 30, 2016, with an original closing date of July 9, 2016, which in the context of a notice of intent generally functions as a public posting window rather than an application deadline for competing proposals. The NPS anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $51,263, indicating the maximum planned federal funding amount for the cooperative agreement.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a note to consult additional eligibility information in the full notice, but since this is explicitly not a request for applications, the eligibility field is mainly informational and does not imply that multiple entities can apply. The notice directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov for complete details, and it also points to Grants.gov support resources for navigation and general grant information, even though this particular posting is not intended to generate applications. Overall, the posting is best understood as a transparency step: the NPS is documenting its intent to fund a specific intern-based interpretation and outreach effort at the named park sites through a noncompetitive cooperative agreement, up to the stated funding cap, and with one planned recipient.
