Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service published a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Vegetation Interns" (Funding Opportunity Number P12AC10113) under CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." The intent of the project is to support two vegetation interns who would help carry out hands-on natural resource and restoration work. The duties described focus on restoring disturbed sites through activities such as revegetation, watering, and monitoring, along with assisting in exotic plant eradication efforts. The interns would also support nursery operations by helping the nursery manager with plant propagation and routine nursery maintenance. In addition to field and nursery work, the opportunity includes an administrative and technical component, specifically organizing and maintaining databases, including GIS-related data, and providing support for other resource management projects such as botanical surveys and research.

Although it appears in the grants system as an opportunity, the announcement makes clear that it is not open for competitive application. The task agreement for the work described had already been awarded to the Student Conservation Association (SCA), and the posting repeatedly notes that the agreement is already in place. As a result, eligibility is effectively limited to the already-selected partner, and both the original and current closing dates are listed as "Task agreement already awarded to SCA for the work described," signaling that there is no active submission window.

The posting indicates that the National Park Service expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $55,746 and an award ceiling also set at $55,746, suggesting a single fixed total for the project rather than a range of potential award sizes. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, meaning the recipient was not expected to provide a financial match as a condition of the award.

For administrative questions or issues accessing the announcement electronically, the contact listed is Barbara Eschels, Supervisory Contract Specialist, at 702-293-8909. No additional information link is provided in the announcement.
