Opportunity Summary:
The South Florida EPMT Data Management Internship (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00178) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) funding opportunity connected to the Youth Engagement and Development Program. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Education funding activity category (CFDA 15.931). The overall purpose is to create a work-based learning experience that supports a young adult with practical employment, education, and training, while also meeting operational needs within the National Park Service's Exotic Plant Management Team (EPMT) in South Florida.
At the core of the project is hands-on support for data management tied to invasive or exotic plant field operations. The internship is meant to place a young adult in a collaborative role alongside the EPMT Program Coordinator and the broader team. The intern would help coordinate data management tasks that happen before and after fieldwork. That typically includes prep work such as organizing materials, setting up or validating data collection systems, and ensuring information is ready for field crews, as well as post-field work such as compiling, cleaning, organizing, and helping maintain records generated from field activities. In practical terms, the position is designed to strengthen the program's ability to track field activities, manage datasets, and keep information usable for planning and reporting.
The opportunity was posted and created on May 18, 2016, and it lists an award ceiling of $18,974 with one expected award. Importantly, the notice states it is a notice of intent for a restricted award and is not a request for applications, meaning it was not broadly open for competitive submissions at the time of posting and was instead intended for a limited, eligible recipient or set of recipients identified under the restricted award process.
Eligibility is described as including nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and other eligible entities as referenced in the opportunity's additional eligibility clarification. In short, the grant supports a single, youth-focused internship placement that blends career development with real operational support for NPS invasive plant management data workflows in South Florida.
