Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00584
The grant opportunity titled "Interpretation and Education Program Interns FY18" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00584) is a discretionary funding announcement issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It was created on July 31, 2017, with an original closing date of August 10, 2017. The funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, and it is categorized under the funding activity area of Employment, Labor and Training. The CFDA program number associated with it is 15.931, which generally points to NPS-related financial assistance and partnership activities.
What stands out most about this notice is that it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notice stating that the NPS intends to fund specific project activities without competition. In practical terms, that means the agency is signaling an intention to make a direct award (or otherwise proceed with a noncompetitive funding action) rather than running an open, competitive application process where multiple applicants submit proposals for review. These types of announcements are commonly used when an agency has a justified reason to work with a particular partner or when the project scope is tied to a specific organization, agreement, or established relationship.
The opportunity anticipates making a single award, with an expected award count of 1, and lists an award ceiling of $99,000. While the notice itself does not provide more detail on the project workplan in the excerpt provided, the title indicates the funded activities are meant to support interpretation and education program interns during fiscal year 2018. In the NPS context, "interpretation" typically refers to public-facing communication and learning activities such as guided walks, visitor center programming, educational talks, junior ranger activities, signage and exhibit support, and other efforts that help visitors understand a park's resources and significance. An internship focus suggests funds would likely support recruiting, training, supervising, and deploying interns to help deliver those interpretive and educational services.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the note that clarification would be found in an additional eligibility field. However, because the announcement is not seeking applications, eligibility details mainly serve recordkeeping and transparency purposes rather than inviting new applicants to compete. Overall, this notice should be read as an administrative transparency posting: it announces that the National Park Service plans to proceed with a noncompetitive cooperative agreement, up to $99,000, to support interpretation and education internship activities under CFDA 15.931, rather than opening a competitive grant solicitation.Apply for P17AS00584
