Opportunity Summary:
The "Restoration Crew and Botany Interns" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOISWEPMT1600362) is a discretionary funding action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS), categorized under Natural Resources and listed under CFDA 15.931. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work rather than simply providing a grant with minimal federal participation. The title suggests the work relates to restoration activities and botany-focused internship support, likely tied to on-the-ground natural resource management priorities within National Park Service units.
This posting is explicitly labeled a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open solicitation and is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that the National Park Service intends to make a non-competitive award through a task agreement. In practice, this usually means the agency has already identified an intended recipient and is documenting its intent to proceed without competition, often due to specific statutory authority, unique qualifications of the partner, continuity of ongoing work, or other allowable justification under federal assistance rules.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because it is not a competitive opportunity, the eligibility listing functions more as a description of the type of organization associated with the intended award than an invitation for new applicants to apply. The expected number of awards is one, and the award ceiling is shown as 0, which commonly indicates that the maximum funding amount was not specified in the public synopsis or is to be determined under the task agreement rather than capped in the announcement.
Key dates show the opportunity was created and posted on March 24, 2016, with an original and current closing date of April 7, 2016. With notices like this, the "closing date" generally reflects the end of the public notice period or an administrative timeline rather than an application deadline, since applications are not being accepted. Overall, the announcement is primarily informational: it documents that DOI-NPS plans to proceed with a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement task arrangement related to restoration crew capacity and botany intern support.
