Opportunity Summary:
The YPP 2015 Comprehensive Student Science Internship Programs at PORE, GOGA, PINN, and JOMU opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agency's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a specific, pre-identified project rather than soliciting proposals through an open competition. Issued by the United States Department of the Interior, this announcement functions as a public transparency notice and explicitly says it is not a request for applications, meaning outside organizations are not being invited to apply or compete for the funding through this posting.
The funding opportunity number is P15AS00225, and it is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity focus is listed under Education and Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship. The project title indicates the work centers on comprehensive student science internship programs supporting multiple NPS park units: Point Reyes National Seashore (PORE), Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GOGA), Pinnacles National Park (PINN), and John Muir National Historic Site (JOMU). In practical terms, this suggests the project is intended to place students in structured, hands-on science and resource-related internships that contribute to park stewardship and educational goals, likely involving applied learning experiences tied to natural resource management, monitoring, research support, and related public lands science activities across those sites.
Instead of an open competition, the NPS states it plans to fund the project through Task Agreement P15AC01282 under an existing master Cooperative Agreement (P13AC000786) with the Point Reyes National Seashore Association. This indicates the agency already has an established partnership framework with that nonprofit and is using that vehicle to implement the 2015 internship programming. Although the eligible applicant category listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education, the structure of the notice makes clear that the intended recipient is the Point Reyes National Seashore Association and that the announcement is not meant to attract other applicants.
The posting lists an expected number of awards as one, with an estimated total funding amount of $54,000. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in notices where the agency is not conducting a competitive process and is simply providing public notice rather than defining a competitive funding range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 20, 2015, and archived on July 31, 2015. Both the original and current closing dates are effectively "not applicable" because the notice is not an application solicitation.
For additional reference, the announcement points to Grants.gov for the full posting details, and provides a contact for access issues: Jason Whitehead at JasonWhitehead@nps.gov.
