Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOITONT1900820
The grant opportunity titled "SCA 12 Month Interpretation Intern TONT 2019" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOITONT1900820) is a discretionary funding action issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. It is structured as a cooperative agreement and falls under the Natural Resources activity category, with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.931. The notice was created on July 12, 2019, and lists an original closing date of July 22, 2019, with a maximum potential award amount (award ceiling) of $32,533 and an expectation of one award.
This announcement is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications from the public. In other words, other organizations are not being invited to apply because the agency is announcing its intent to make a specific award to a specific recipient. The recipient named in the notice is the Student Conservation Association (SCA), and the award is to be made through a task agreement that falls under an existing, previously awarded cooperative agreement identified as P15AC00031. That structure indicates the underlying partnership framework was already in place, and this notice serves to document and publicize the planned use of that agreement for this particular internship-related project.
Although the eligibility field lists "Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education," the practical effect of this notice is that the opportunity is effectively closed to competition because it is tied to a predetermined partner and a pre-established cooperative agreement mechanism. The title indicates the funded activity supports a 12-month interpretation intern, which in National Park Service terms typically relates to visitor services, public education, interpretive programming, and communication efforts that help the public understand park resources and stories. The funding level and single-award expectation align with supporting one intern placement for a year, including associated program and administrative costs managed through the cooperative agreement relationship.Apply for NPSNOITONT1900820
