Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00231
The grant opportunity titled "NCPE interns with Cultural Resources, Partnerships, and Science" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00231) is a National Park Service notice indicating the agency's intent to support a specific project through a non-competitive award. In other words, it is not an open call for applications and it is not asking organizations or individuals to submit proposals. Instead, it functions as a public transparency notice that the Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, plans to fund particular project activities without competition.
The award is expected to be made as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service anticipates being actively involved in carrying out the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is associated with the funding activity category "Employment, Labor and Training," signaling that the central purpose is to support internship or workforce development activities tied to NPS mission needs. The referenced CFDA number is 15.946, which identifies the broader federal assistance program under which this support is being issued.
The project focus, as implied by the title, is to place or support interns working with areas of the National Park Service connected to Cultural Resources, Partnerships, and Science. While the notice does not provide detailed task descriptions in the text provided, these categories typically relate to stewardship of historic and archaeological resources, museum and archival collections, cultural landscapes, interpretive and community partnership work, and scientific research or resource management support. The intent is that interns contribute to NPS program capacity in these specialized fields, often by assisting professional staff with ongoing projects, data collection, documentation, collaboration, and other mission-support activities.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note that clarification would appear in an additional eligibility field (not included in the provided excerpt). However, because the announcement explicitly states the activity will be funded "without competition," the practical takeaway is that the NPS is not seeking new applicants from the public; the recipient is typically predetermined or selected through a justification for non-competitive funding.
Key administrative details include a creation date of May 8, 2017, and an original closing date of May 18, 2017, which in this context is best understood as the public notice window rather than a true application deadline. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that it is intended for a single recipient/partner arrangement. The maximum funding amount listed is an award ceiling of $66,231, which represents the upper limit anticipated for this cooperative agreement.Apply for P17AS00231
