Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0102
The "Internship for Heritage Areas Program" notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0102) is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) announcement published by the Department of the Interior on July 27, 2018. Even though it appears in the format of a funding opportunity, it is explicitly not a request for applications and not an open competition. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS and the Student Conservation Association (SCA) have already entered into a specific task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC00031). The original closing date listed (August 5, 2018) does not function like a typical application deadline because the notice is informational rather than solicitational.
The purpose of the task agreement is to support an internship connected to the National Heritage Areas Program, specifically an Intern position titled "National Heritage Areas Program Communications Coordinator." Under this arrangement, SCA acts as the partner organization that helps NPS staff the position and manage core administrative and participant-support functions during the internship. In practical terms, the agreement is about recruitment, logistics, oversight, and recordkeeping related to placing and supporting an intern who will work in a communications-focused role tied to National Heritage Areas.
The notice outlines SCA's main responsibilities under the task agreement. First, SCA will assist with recruiting and selecting the intern for the Communications Coordinator position. Second, SCA will provide financial support to the intern in several forms: a travel allowance for the intern while living within commuting distance of the duty station, a housing allowance during the internship period, and subsistence support during the intern's tour of duty. Third, SCA will coordinate with NPS to oversee the internship, including directing and taking corrective measures when needed; this includes handling issues related to conduct and ensuring relevant information is provided to NPS. Fourth, SCA will maintain administrative records for the intern. Fifth, SCA will provide ongoing administrative support to the intern throughout participation in the program. Finally, SCA will contribute a cost share equal to 25 percent of the total project cost, which serves as the required matching contribution alongside NPS funds under this task agreement.
From a funding perspective, the notice lists a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $39,579. The assistance mechanism is identified as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement and coordination between the federal agency and the partner organization as the work is carried out. The CFDA number associated with the notice is 15.931. Although the eligibility field states that eligible applicants are nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), that eligibility listing is largely procedural here because the notice is not inviting applications; the agreement is already in place with SCA.
Overall, this posting is best understood as a transparency and documentation notice rather than a grant competition. It announces that NPS is using an existing cooperative agreement with SCA to recruit, support, and administer an internship for a communications coordinator supporting the National Heritage Areas Program, with defined participant benefits, administrative responsibilities, shared oversight, and a 25 percent non-federal cost share provided by SCA.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0102
