Opportunity Summary:
The Resource Conservation Intern opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00030) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement notice that serves strictly as public notification, not an open call for applications. In other words, the NPS is not requesting proposals from the general public through this posting. Instead, it announces the agency's intent to provide funding without competition for a specific internship project carried out through the Student Conservation Association (SCA) under an existing cooperative agreement (H2495090023). The underlying purpose is to support hands-on education and conservation work that directly benefits park resource stewardship.
The funded position is designed to assist NPS staff with both cultural and natural resource protection activities. The intern's role emphasizes learning and contributing at the intersection of geology, ecology, and cultural history. A central learning objective is for the intern to understand the significance of a particular geologic feature from an ecosystem perspective, meaning they will explore how that feature influences habitats, species, and broader ecological processes. At the same time, the intern is expected to build the ability to explain the feature's significance in relation to Native American history, reflecting the program's intent to connect natural landscape characteristics with the human stories, traditions, and historical relationships tied to that place.
Administratively, this is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, with an education-focused activity category. The opportunity anticipates a single award with total funding of $4,634; the award ceiling and floor are both listed as $4,634, indicating a fixed award amount for the designated project. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which aligns with youth and service-based conservation placements such as internships.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), though the practical impact of that eligibility note is constrained by the fact that this is a non-competitive, pre-identified funding action rather than a competitive solicitation. The posting dates reflect a short administrative window, with the announcement posted and created on April 15, 2013, an original and current closing date of April 19, 2013, and an archive date of April 20, 2013. Additional details are referenced through Grants.gov, and the listed contact for access issues is Brian Straka at brianstraka@nps.gov.
