Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Provide 21st Century Interns at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park." This announcement is not a competitive funding opportunity and it is not inviting applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS plans to provide funding for a specific set of project activities already scoped under an existing partnership framework.
The planned funding will be issued as a Cooperative Agreement, reflecting that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the work rather than simply providing a grant with minimal agency participation. The effort falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.931, which generally covers NPS assistance programs related to conservation and park resource work.
The notice identifies that the intended recipient is Kupu, operating under a master Cooperative Agreement (P15AC00049), with the specific work to be implemented through Task Agreement P17AC01364. The project purpose, as stated, is to provide "21st Century Conservation Service Corps Interns" at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, indicating that the funding supports internship placements and related conservation service activities conducted in coordination with the park.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number P17AS00640 and a creation date of August 9, 2017. The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the non-competitive nature of a notice of intent tied to a named partner. The listed award ceiling is $70,000, which represents the maximum federal funding amount anticipated for this task agreement. Although the eligibility field references nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), this eligibility language is largely informational here because the posting is explicitly not a request for applications and is instead documenting NPS intent to fund a particular partner under an existing agreement.
In practical terms, this notice communicates that NPS plans to invest up to $70,000 to support conservation corps internship capacity at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park through Kupu, using a cooperative agreement mechanism and an already-established cooperative framework, rather than opening the project to new applicants or proposals.
