Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0071

The Preservation and Skills Develpment Internship (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 18 NERO 0071) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice that serves strictly as a public announcement of the agency's intent to provide financial assistance for specific project activities. It is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications, meaning organizations or individuals should not interpret it as a competitive solicitation where new applicants can apply for funding. Instead, it functions as a transparency notice that NPS plans to make an award under this described project framework.

The planned award will be made through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the performance period, such as collaborating on planning, oversight, technical guidance, or coordination. The activity category listed is Employment, Labor and Training, and the opportunity title indicates the project centers on internship-based workforce development connected to preservation skills, which often includes hands-on training relevant to maintaining, restoring, or protecting historic or cultural resources and related park assets. The CFDA (now commonly referenced under assistance listing structures) number associated with the opportunity is 15.931, identifying the broader federal assistance program context under which the support is being issued.

The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," which is a broad designation often used in federal notices to indicate that the recipient type may not fall neatly into standard buckets like state governments, local governments, universities, or nonprofits, or that eligibility is otherwise determined by the agency for this specific intended award. Because the notice is not soliciting applications, the practical impact of the eligibility line is limited for prospective applicants, but it helps document the recipient type classification tied to the intended assistance action.

Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $38,142, which reflects the maximum amount expected for the assistance action described in the notice. The posting indicates it was created on 2018-07-02, with an original closing date of 2018-07-12; in notices like this, the "closing date" generally functions as the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline, since no applications are being requested. The agency named is the National Park Service, and the opportunity category is Discretionary, meaning it is not a formula-based award and is instead issued at the agency's discretion under the relevant authority and program rules.

In short, this listing is best read as an informational publication documenting NPS's intent to fund an internship focused on preservation and skills development through a cooperative agreement, with up to $38,142 in funding, rather than an opportunity that the public can compete for by submitting an application.
