Opportunity Summary:
The "Student Intern Opportunities at Bighorn Canyon NRA" funding notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1320129138) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action planned as a cooperative agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The activity category is Natural Resources, and the purpose is to support student intern opportunities connected to Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. While the title emphasizes student internships, the announcement itself is mainly an administrative notice explaining how the award will be issued rather than inviting new proposals from the public.
This opportunity is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award, issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the agency is signaling that it intends to fund a specific partner without running an open competition. The notice also clarifies that it is not a request for applications, and the only identified recipient is the University of Wyoming. As a result, other organizations should not expect to submit an application under this posting, even though it appears in the format of a federal funding opportunity.
The funding details indicate one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $43,280. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which often appears in notices that are not structured like typical competitive grants or where the exact obligated amount is handled through an associated task agreement and supporting documentation rather than being defined by a standard ceiling/floor range in the synopsis.
Key dates in the public notice include a posted date of May 7, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 14, 2012, and an archive date of June 13, 2012. Even though a closing date is provided, it functions more like a posting window for the notice of intent rather than a deadline for public submissions, since the announcement is not soliciting applications.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, tied to Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with CESU-style collaborations that support research, technical assistance, and training benefiting national park units. Anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement at the time was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392 for assistance.
