Opportunity Summary:
The NPS Natural Resource Management Internship Program (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00361) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice for a cooperative agreement focused on natural resources work within units of the National Park System, particularly in eastern park units. The core purpose of the project is to support internships that help students build practical familiarity with park resources, learn how the NPS approaches natural resource management, and gain exposure to NPS policies, guidance, and internal data systems used to manage and interpret resource information. In other words, the internships are intended to be hands-on learning experiences that connect academic training to real-world resource stewardship within national parks.
This posting is not an open call for proposals and is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service intended to continue funding ongoing project activities without full and open competition. The original and current closing date listed is September 12, 2014, with a posted and creation date of September 11, 2014, which reinforces that this was primarily an administrative notice rather than a competitive grant announcement inviting new submissions.
The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The eligible applicant types listed are public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, reflecting the program's education and workforce-development angle and its alignment with universities and colleges that can host, support, or administer student internship placements.
The funding fields show an estimated total funding amount of $0 and award ceiling and floor of $0. In practice, entries like these often appear in continuation or non-competitive notices where the main intent is disclosure of funding continuation rather than announcing new funding levels for competition, so the listing should be read as a notice of intent rather than a conventional grant solicitation with a stated budget range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated.
For more information, the listing points to Grants.gov as the additional information link source. The contact provided for access or questions is Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, National Park Service, reachable at 301-66-1481 x 5 and via email at ritamihalik@nps.gov.
