Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0011
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a public notice titled "NRMS Interns to support seasonal seashore shorebird science" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 19 NERO 0011). This notice is not a request for applications and is not an open competition. Instead, it signals NPS intent to make a single task agreement award under an existing, previously competed (or otherwise justified) master cooperative agreement: Master Cooperative Agreement P15AC00015 between NPS and American Conservation Experience (ACE). The overarching purpose of that master agreement is to create meaningful environmental service opportunities that channel the energy and idealism of a volunteer labor force toward improving and caring for public lands.
Under the planned task agreement, four Youth Shorebird Interns would be placed within the Natural Resource Management and Science (NRMS) operation at Cape Cod National Seashore. The interns are intended to work directly alongside NPS career professionals as part of the park's shorebird management and protection program. Their day-to-day role would center on collecting field data along seashore beaches, supporting seasonal shorebird science efforts. The work is framed as hands-on resource protection experience that both advances the park's operational conservation needs and helps interns build practical skills tied to their academic background and/or career interests.
The conservation focus described in the notice emphasizes endangered shorebird management as well as monitoring of shorebird populations and critical habitat. In other words, the internship support is not just general field assistance; it is meant to contribute to specific natural resource goals that matter both immediately and over the longer term at Cape Cod National Seashore, particularly around protecting sensitive species and the habitats they depend on during critical seasonal windows.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, with an education-related activity category (CFDA 15.931). The notice lists eligible applicants as nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the structure of a master cooperative agreement partner like ACE rather than a broad applicant pool. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $31,360. The notice was created on April 5, 2019, and lists an original closing date of April 14, 2019, which in this context functions more as a publication timeline for the notice of intent rather than a standard application deadline, since the agency is not soliciting proposals through this announcement.Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0011
