Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00763
The Interpretation, Education, and Volunteers Program Internship (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00763) is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior that supports internship-related work connected to interpretation, education, and volunteer programs. It is issued as a discretionary opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, and it is categorized under the Employment, Labor and Training activity area (CFDA 15.931). The notice was created on August 31, 2017, with an original closing date listed as September 10, 2017.
This announcement is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS intends to provide funding without full and open competition. In other words, it is a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a request for applications, and it signals that the agency plans to proceed with a specific partner rather than inviting new proposals from the broader community.
The purpose of this particular action is a modification to an existing, already funded Task Agreement with The Student Conservation Association. The modification adds additional funds to continue or expand work that is already underway under that agreement, rather than starting a brand-new project competed among multiple applicants.
The eligible applicant category identified for the opportunity is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the notice is explicitly an intent to award without competition and references a modification to an existing agreement, it effectively indicates that the funding is directed to the current partner relationship tied to that task agreement.
Financially, the announcement lists an award ceiling of $59,022 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). This aligns with the nature of the action as an add-on funding modification to a pre-existing agreement rather than a multi-award, open competition program.Apply for P17AS00763
