Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOIAMIS1800975
The Amistad NRA Natural Resource Management Internship funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIAMIS1800975) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior notice announcing the agency's intent to make an award for a specific project tied to natural resources work at Amistad National Recreation Area. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in guiding, overseeing, or partnering on the activities supported by the award.
This notice is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," and it is not an open call or a request for applications. In practical terms, that means outside organizations cannot apply or compete for this funding through this announcement. Instead, the NPS is stating in advance that it plans to issue the award to a predetermined partner: the American Conservation Experience (ACE). The mechanism for doing so is a task agreement under a cooperative agreement that was already awarded previously (Cooperative Agreement P15AC00015). In other words, the legal and administrative framework for the partnership already exists, and this action is a project-specific tasking under that existing agreement.
The activity area is natural resources (CFDA 15.931), and the project focus is an internship in natural resource management at Amistad NRA. While the announcement does not provide programmatic details such as intern duties, timelines, or deliverables, the title indicates the funding supports placement and/or support of interns to assist with natural resource management needs, which in NPS contexts often includes field monitoring, habitat or wildlife-related projects, invasive species work, data collection, and other resource stewardship activities, depending on the park unit's priorities.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), consistent with the identified recipient organization. The anticipated award amount is up to $53,300 (award ceiling), with one expected award, reinforcing that this is a single-recipient, noncompetitive action. The announcement was created on July 18, 2018, with an original closing date of July 28, 2018, which functions more as an administrative posting window than an application deadline, since no applications are being solicited.Apply for NPSNOIAMIS1800975
