Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOISEAZ1701105
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a grant opportunity titled "Interpretation and Environmental Education Internships" under Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOISEAZ1701105. It is categorized as a discretionary funding action and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument type, indicating a partnership-style arrangement where NPS typically expects to have substantial involvement in how the project is carried out. The activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.931.
This posting is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open call for proposals. In plain terms, it is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that NPS intends to make a single, non-competitive task agreement award. The announcement states an expectation of one award, and the listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which often means the specific funding amount is not being disclosed in this notice or will be defined within the task agreement documentation rather than in the public synopsis.
Eligibility is narrowly described as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. That said, because the notice is non-competitive and not open for applications, the eligibility statement is more descriptive of the type of organization that can receive the award rather than an invitation for eligible entities to apply. The opportunity was created on July 14, 2017, with an original closing date of July 24, 2017, which in this context functions more like an administrative posting window for the public notice rather than an application deadline.
Overall, the opportunity concerns supporting internships focused on interpretation and environmental education, which typically includes helping parks deliver educational programming, visitor engagement, and resource stewardship messaging. However, the key takeaway is that this announcement is essentially informational: NPS is announcing its intent to proceed with a pre-identified, non-competitive cooperative agreement/task agreement for this internship-related work, and it is not soliciting new proposals.Apply for NPSNOISEAZ1701105
