Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOISEAZ1701624
The Southeast Arizona Integrated Science and Resources Internships opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOISEAZ1701624) is a discretionary National Park Service funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is framed as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources activity category (CFDA 15.931). The listing is dated September 7, 2017, with an original closing date of September 17, 2017, and it anticipates a single award.
This announcement is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," which means it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that the National Park Service intends to issue a non-competitive task agreement. In practical terms, the agency is signaling that it plans to fund a specific partner without competition, rather than selecting from multiple applicants through a standard application process.
Eligibility information indicates the intended recipient type is a nonprofit organization that holds 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. Because the award is non-competitive and the announcement is not soliciting applications, the eligibility statement is best understood as describing the type of organization the agency expects to partner with, rather than inviting a broader applicant pool to apply.
The title suggests the task agreement supports internship activities connected to integrated science and resource work in Southeast Arizona, likely aligned with National Park Service natural resource priorities such as monitoring, field research support, resource management assistance, or related science-and-stewardship projects. However, the notice provides minimal programmatic detail beyond the intent to make one non-competitive award. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically indicates the ceiling amount was not specified in the public notice or is captured elsewhere in internal or companion documentation rather than in this announcement.Apply for NPSNOISEAZ1701624
