Opportunity Summary:
This funding notice is a Notice of Intent from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS), indicating that the agency plans to make a single discretionary cooperative agreement award to the Student Conservation Association (SCA) under an existing master cooperative agreement (Master CA: P15AC00031). The opportunity is identified as "Notice of Intent to award to SCA under Master CA: P15AC00031" with the funding opportunity number P16AS00101, and it sits within the Environment and Natural Resources funding activity area (CFDA 15.931). In practical terms, it signals the government is proceeding with a planned partnership action rather than opening a competitive call for proposals.
The purpose of the intended award is to support PLC crew interns working at Canaveral National Seashore. While the notice does not provide operational details about the PLC crew in the text provided, the context indicates the interns would perform conservation and park-related work associated with the seashore, leveraging SCA's role as a partner organization that recruits, places, and supports interns and crews for public land management projects. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, the project is structured as a collaborative effort where the National Park Service is expected to have substantial involvement in project execution and oversight, which is a key distinction from a standard grant.
The notice explicitly states that applications are not being requested. That means this is not an open funding opportunity where outside organizations should apply; instead, it functions as a formal public announcement that the agency intends to make an award to a specific partner (SCA) under the terms of an established master agreement. Although the listing includes general eligible applicant categories such as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and certain nonprofits (including those without 501(c)(3) status), that eligibility language is largely boilerplate in this context, since the agency is not soliciting competing applications.
The anticipated funding level is up to an award ceiling of $67,000, with one expected award. The notice was created and posted on April 6, 2016, and lists an original and current closing date of April 21, 2016. In a notice-of-intent format like this, the "closing date" typically functions more as an administrative timeline marker for the posting rather than a deadline for proposal submission, since no applications are being accepted. Overall, the announcement is best understood as a transparency notice: the National Park Service is documenting its intent to fund SCA for internship crew support at Canaveral National Seashore through an existing cooperative framework, with a defined maximum funding amount and a single planned award.
