Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00142
The Mosaics in Science (MIS) Diversity Internship Program is a National Park Service (NPS) grant-supported initiative designed to place college students and recent graduates into paid, structured STEM-focused internships at NPS sites and units across the United States. The core purpose of the program is to give emerging professionals hands-on experience completing science, technology, engineering, and math projects that directly support park operations and natural resource priorities. In addition to technical work, the program is framed as an early-career development opportunity that emphasizes safe and supervised work experiences, real-world professional expectations, and mentoring in a public lands setting.
A central theme of the opportunity is workforce development paired with stewardship. MIS is intended to help young adults build practical life skills and professional competencies while also strengthening an ethic of caring for natural and cultural resources. Interns are placed into challenging but supportive roles where they can grow personally and professionally, learn how STEM work is applied in a federal land-management context, and contribute to projects that benefit parks and the visiting public.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00142) is issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under a discretionary funding category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity area is categorized under natural resources and is associated with CFDA number 15.931. The eligible applicant type listed is limited to nonprofits with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), indicating that the NPS partners with a qualified nonprofit organization to help administer, coordinate, and support the internship placements and related programming.
The notice also makes clear that this particular posting is not open for competition. It is a Notice of Intent tied to an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC00010) that had already been awarded through a competitive process, and no new applications were being accepted at the time of posting. The anticipated award information lists an expected single award with a funding ceiling of $160,000, reflecting a specific task agreement or project increment under the larger, previously competed cooperative agreement rather than a new solicitation open to multiple applicants.Apply for P19AS00142
