Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOICHCU1701256
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a discretionary funding notice titled "Physical Science Intern" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOICHCU1701256). The notice is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a request for applications and is not soliciting proposals from the public. Instead, it serves as a formal public notification that NPS intends to make a non-competitive award through a task agreement under a cooperative agreement arrangement. In practical terms, this signals that NPS has already identified the recipient organization and is publishing the notice to meet transparency and public notice requirements rather than to run an open competition.
The opportunity is categorized under the Natural Resources funding activity area and is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service programs. The eligible applicant type listed is limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, specifically excluding institutions of higher education. However, because the announcement is non-competitive and not accepting applications, the eligibility listing functions more as a descriptor of the type of organization that can receive this kind of agreement, rather than an invitation for new applicants to apply.
From an administrative standpoint, the announcement was created on August 2, 2017, with an original closing date of August 12, 2017. In the context of a notice of intent, the "closing date" generally reflects the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting an application. The funding instrument type is identified as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the supported work compared to a standard grant. The listing indicates an expectation of one award. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which usually means the ceiling amount was not provided in the public synopsis, is to be determined under the task agreement, or is otherwise not being disclosed in the posting.
Overall, this posting should be read as an informational notice: NPS intends to award a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement task agreement related to a physical science intern role within the natural resources domain, and the public posting exists to document that intent rather than to open a competitive application process.Apply for NPSNOICHCU1701256
