Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0012
This notice describes the National Park Service's intent to make a single, non-competitive award for a project focused on maintaining a cultural landscape through a youth internship program at Longfellow-Washington's Headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is published as a formal public notice rather than an open call for proposals, meaning the agency is not asking the public to apply and will not be conducting a full and open competition for this particular award. In practical terms, the announcement is meant to document that NPS plans to fund specific activities with a particular partner or recipient under a justified exception to competitive awarding.
The opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and it is categorized as a discretionary funding action to be implemented through a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally signals that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as helping guide work plans, setting project priorities, coordinating site access and supervision, ensuring compliance with NPS standards, and overseeing how the internship activities align with park needs and preservation requirements. The activity category is listed as "Other," which indicates the work does not fit neatly into common categories like research or construction and is instead centered on specialized stewardship and internship-based landscape maintenance.
The project itself, as indicated by the title, is aimed at preserving and maintaining the park's cultural landscape using a youth internship model. At a site like Longfellow-Washington's Headquarters, cultural landscape work typically includes routine and seasonal tasks that protect historic character and visitor experience, such as grounds care and horticultural upkeep, basic landscape preservation activities, invasive plant management, maintaining paths or landscape features in a historically appropriate manner, and supporting safe and presentable public areas. The "youth internship" component suggests the work is structured to provide young participants with supervised, hands-on training and professional exposure to conservation, historic landscape stewardship, and public land management while accomplishing tangible maintenance needs at the site.
From an administrative standpoint, the listing provides key identifiers and basic funding details. The funding opportunity number is NPS 17 NERO 0012, and it references CFDA number 15.931 (a catalog identifier used for federal assistance programs). The notice was created on December 28, 2016, with an original closing date of January 6, 2017. That closing date should be interpreted in the context of a notice posting window rather than an application deadline, since the notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications. The expected number of awards is one, and the maximum funding amount listed (award ceiling) is $60,073, which indicates the anticipated upper limit for the single cooperative agreement.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the additional eligibility specifics typically found in the full notice documents rather than in the summary fields. In notices like this, "Others" often points to a specific type of partner that fits the internship and workforce development purpose, such as a qualified nonprofit, youth conservation organization, educational entity, or similar partner capable of recruiting, training, and supervising interns while meeting federal assistance and reporting requirements. Because the award is intended to be made without full and open competition, the critical details about the selected recipient, the rationale for noncompetitive selection, the scope of work, and any statutory or policy authority supporting that approach would normally be contained in the related document linked on the posting.
Overall, the announcement is best understood as a transparency measure: NPS is signaling that it plans to fund a particular youth internship project to support cultural landscape maintenance at Longfellow-Washington's Headquarters, using a cooperative agreement, with a planned award amount up to $60,073, and with no opportunity for the general public to submit competing applications under this specific notice.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0012
