Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0133
The HPP Natural Resources and Historic Structures Internship notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0133) is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior announcement tied to CFDA 15.931. Despite looking like a typical grant posting, it is explicitly not a request for applications and not a competitive open call. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS and the Student Conservation Association (SCA) have already entered into a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, and that SCA will be the organization carrying out the work described in the Statement of Work.
In practical terms, this announcement is documenting an arrangement where SCA will administer and implement an internship effort related to natural resources and historic structures under the broader umbrella of NPS partnership programming. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant, even though day-to-day execution is assigned to the recipient identified in the agreement. The posting lists an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $35,992, reflecting the planned amount for this specific task agreement action rather than an amount available to the general public.
The notice also clarifies the division of responsibilities and compliance expectations. SCA, as the recipient, must follow applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and codes. Additionally, the recipient is responsible for covering a wide range of program and administrative costs associated with running the internship. These responsibilities include travel and related logistics, uniforms and identification items (such as nametags), personal accessories, background checks, living allowances, and fringe benefits (including health insurance). The recipient must also manage performance evaluations and assessments, provide program development support and compliance documentation, and handle logistics management, dispute resolution, and quality control.
Beyond basic administration, SCA is responsible for the full recruitment and onboarding pipeline, including recruiting activities, application processing costs, and risk management. The agreement also places responsibility on the recipient for personnel support for crews, post-project reviews, incident management and debriefings, and required payroll-related expenses such as FICA, Medicare, and state unemployment insurance (SUI). Put simply, the posting indicates that NPS has arranged for SCA to operate the internship program and absorb or manage the operational burdens that come with supporting interns and field crews.
Key dates included in the record (Creation Date: August 14, 2018; Original Closing Date: August 23, 2018) should be read in context: because the announcement is not soliciting applications, the closing date functions more like an administrative timeline marker for the public notice rather than an application deadline for potential applicants. The eligibility field is listed as “Others,” but the text makes clear that this announcement is tied to an already-established partnership action rather than an opportunity that outside organizations can apply to compete for.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0133
