Opportunity Summary:
The NPS Academy Internships opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIGRTE10316) is a National Park Service discretionary funding announcement tied to a cooperative agreement in the natural resources category. The stated purpose is to support the National Parks Youth Engagement Initiative by placing and supporting youth involvement activities within three major park units: Grand Teton National Park, Glacier National Park, and Yellowstone National Park. In practical terms, the effort is meant to engage young people in conservation and public-lands work while helping build a stronger understanding of national parks and encouraging long-term stewardship. The listing is associated with CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which signals that the focus is on youth-serving conservation programs and hands-on resource or park-related work rather than construction or traditional research grants.
The announcement indicates an intent to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $58,401. Both the award ceiling and award floor are shown as $0, which typically means the agency did not publish minimum or maximum limits within the public synopsis and that the actual award amount is governed by the underlying agreement and the specific task agreement being issued. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, so recipients would not be expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of the award, at least as presented in the synopsis.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but the eligibility narrative clarifies that this posting is "for informational purposes only" and functions as a Notice of Intent to award to the Student Conservation Association. That means it was not presented as an open competition for new applicants; instead, the agency was signaling its plan to issue a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement mechanism with the Student Conservation Association to carry out youth engagement work on public lands and help develop more informed citizens and stewards.
The posting timeline reflects how narrow and administrative the window was: it was posted on May 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 3, 2012, and it was archived on May 4, 2012. That timing aligns with notices of intent that are primarily meant to document the agency's planned award action rather than solicit full proposals from multiple organizations. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist, National Park Service, at 505-988-6042.
