Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary funding notice titled "Underwater diving internship" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIIMRO00232) under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship). The announcement is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a broad, open competition for new applicants. Instead, NPS indicates its intent to issue a task agreement under an already-existing cooperative agreement specifically to the Our World Underwater Scholarship Society to support an underwater diving internship.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. The expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $26,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in older postings when the agency is not using those fields to define a range, and the real planned funding level is reflected in the total estimate provided.
Key timeline details show the posting date as April 22, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 23, 2013, and an archive date of April 24, 2013. That very short window aligns with the nature of the notice as an intent to award to a named organization rather than a solicitation seeking multiple proposals. Eligibility is effectively limited to the designated partner referenced in the notice, with the listing category shown as "Others" and further clarified by the statement that the task agreement will be issued to Our World Underwater Scholarship Society.
For anyone needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122. The sponsoring agency is the National Park Service.
