Opportunity Summary:
This government grant notice is a Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), specifically involving Canaveral National Seashore. The key point is that it is not a request for applications and not a competitive solicitation. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS intends to make a single award without full and open competition under an existing cooperative agreement framework. The project being supported is titled "The Crew Sea Turtle Conservation Interns" and is associated with conservation work at Canaveral National Seashore Park.
The award is planned as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing a grant with minimal federal participation. The intended recipient organization is the Student Conservation Association (SCA), and the notice indicates the funding will be made under Cooperative Agreement P15AC00031. The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and is linked to CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals an emphasis on conservation work carried out through youth or service-based organizations.
In terms of funding, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $70,000 and anticipates one award. Both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which typically reflects that the notice is informational about an intended action rather than a competitively structured program with defined minimums and maximums for applicants. The opportunity also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the project is expected to include non-federal contributions (cash, in-kind support, or other eligible match sources) alongside the federal funds.
Eligibility is described broadly as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is a notice of intent to award without competition to a named partner, that eligibility statement does not function like an open invitation for other applicants. The posting date and creation date are both April 1, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 2, 2015, and an archive date of April 3, 2015, reflecting a very short public notice window consistent with intent-to-award announcements rather than an open application period.
For practical purposes, this listing is mainly relevant to stakeholders who track federal funding decisions, cooperative agreement actions, and noncompetitive awards, rather than organizations seeking to apply. Anyone needing access to the full announcement or having trouble retrieving it electronically is directed to contact Sandra Newton, Financial Agreements Officer, at 305-242-7028 or via email at SandraNewton@nps.gov.
