Opportunity Summary:
The Yosemite Intern Award (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS WASO P12AC10612) is a National Park Service grant action described as a continuation award to support a student intern placement at Yosemite National Park. It falls under the funding activity category of Employment, Labor and Training and is tied to CFDA 15.916 (Outdoor Recreation: Acquisition, Development and Planning). The announcement makes clear that this is an intent-to-award notice rather than an open competition, meaning the agency is not soliciting proposals from the public and is instead documenting its plan to make a specific award.
This opportunity is structured as a grant with a single expected award. The total estimated funding is set at $18,600, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $18,600, indicating a fixed award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide additional non-federal funds to meet a match.
Eligibility is listed broadly as nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the eligibility note clarifies that the award is specifically intended for NCPE for the Yosemite student intern. In other words, while standard eligibility language appears in the listing, the practical intent is to award to a predetermined recipient, and the posting functions as a formal notification rather than a competitive funding opportunity.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on June 15, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2012, and an archive date of July 26, 2012. Anyone having trouble accessing the full announcement was directed to contact David Gebhardt, Contract Specialist (STEP), at 303-969-2346 or davidgebhardt@nps.gov.
