Opportunity Summary:
The "Sea Turtle Intern" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIPAIS16P1600473) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) notice stating the agency's intent to make an award under a cooperative agreement for work connected to natural resource activities, specifically in the area suggested by the title: sea turtle-related support and internship efforts. The key point is that this is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it is published to meet public notice requirements while the NPS proceeds with a planned, non-competitive task agreement to a recipient the agency has already identified.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, coordinating field activities, setting protocols, or collaborating on resource management priorities). The activity category is Natural Resources, and the listing references CFDA 15.931, which is the catalog designation historically associated with National Park Service resource management and related assistance.
Eligibility, as stated in the notice, is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Even though that eligibility description appears, the notice makes clear that the announcement is not seeking proposals, so this eligibility language functions more as a descriptor of the intended award framework than an invitation for new applicants to apply.
Administratively, the notice was created and posted on April 12, 2016, with an original and current closing date of April 23, 2016. The listing indicates an expected number of awards of 1, reinforcing that the agency anticipates a single, specific award rather than multiple grants. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which usually means the public notice does not specify a maximum funding amount in the posting (it may be determined in the underlying agreement or internal documentation rather than advertised here).
In practical terms, this posting functions as a transparency notice rather than an application opportunity: it signals that the NPS plans to issue one non-competitive task agreement under a cooperative agreement mechanism for sea turtle internship support tied to NPS natural resource work, with no application process available through this announcement.
