Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Support Education and Interpretive Programs through SCA Internship - Frederick Law Olmsted NHS" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not seeking proposals from the general public through an open competition. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to give public notice that the agency plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a pre-identified arrangement, without full and open competition. In practice, postings like this typically appear when the agency has already determined the partner organization and project approach, but still must provide transparency about the intended award.
This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that the federal agency expects to remain actively involved in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping away. In this case, the work is tied to supporting education and interpretive programs at Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site (NHS) through an internship administered via the Student Conservation Association (SCA). While the notice text provided does not list the specific duties or position description, the title strongly indicates that the internship support is intended to bolster visitor-facing education, interpretation, and related programming that helps the public understand the site and its significance.
The award is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service programs. The total anticipated federal funding amount is capped at an award ceiling of $44,121, and the NPS expects to make one award. That aligns with the nature of an internship-based project where funding often covers stipend support, possible housing or travel, training, program materials, and administrative or partnership costs needed to place and supervise an intern who will contribute to interpretive and educational services at the park site.
The funding opportunity number is listed as NPS 16 NERO 0004, and the posting was created and posted on December 11, 2015. The listed closing date is December 20, 2015, but because this is not an open solicitation, that date functions more as an administrative milestone for the notice record rather than a typical application deadline. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a reference to additional eligibility details in the full announcement. However, given the subject matter and the way these notices are commonly structured, the eligible party is likely the intended partner organization (in this case, the SCA or a closely aligned entity), rather than a wide pool of applicants.
For anyone seeking the full set of specifics, the notice directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov and then to the Full Announcement. That is where details such as the precise scope of work, the rationale for limiting competition, the intended recipient, the planned period of performance, and the NPS role in the cooperative agreement would typically be documented. The notice also points users to general Grants.gov navigation help and standard grant information resources, but again, the central point is that this posting is meant to inform the public of an intended, non-competitive award supporting interpretive and education capacity at Frederick Law Olmsted NHS through an SCA internship.
