Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOIPAIS1900239
The PAIS 2019 STSR SCA Intern opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIPAIS1900239) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award, issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It falls under the discretionary funding category and will be implemented through a cooperative agreement, with the program area tied to natural resources work under CFDA 15.931. The posting was created on March 22, 2019, and lists an original closing date of April 1, 2019, but that date is largely procedural because the announcement is not an open call for proposals.
The key point is that this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it signals the government s intent to make a single award through a task agreement to a specific organization: the Student Conservation Association (SCA). The task agreement is being issued under a cooperative agreement that was already awarded previously (P15AC00031), meaning the NPS is using an existing partnership vehicle to fund a defined intern-related project rather than competing the work among multiple applicants. As a result, although the eligibility field references nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), this particular action is effectively directed to SCA and is not available for other organizations to apply to.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of 44,058 and anticipates one award. In practical terms, that indicates the NPS planned a single, capped funding action of up to that amount to support an internship arrangement connected to the PAIS 2019 STSR SCA Intern project. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, it also implies active involvement by the NPS in carrying out the project, which is typical for internship and conservation support efforts where federal staff may guide, coordinate, or participate in the work alongside the partner organization.Apply for NPSNOIPAIS1900239
