Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOIVALL1900278
The VALL SCA Interns for Entomology Program (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIVALL1900278) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award, issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The listing is tied to CFDA number 15.931 and was created on April 4, 2019, with an original closing date shown as April 14, 2019.
This announcement is not an open solicitation and is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that the National Park Service plans to make a single award under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC00031) by issuing a task agreement specifically to the Student Conservation Association (SCA). In practical terms, the opportunity is already directed to a named partner organization and is meant to support SCA interns working on entomology-related efforts connected to park natural resource work.
The eligible applicant category listed is nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the SCA organizational profile. However, because this is a notice of intent to award under a prior agreement rather than a competitive call, eligibility language here is informational rather than an invitation for new applicants. The expected number of awards is one, and the award ceiling is $37,129, indicating the anticipated maximum federal funding level for the task agreement supporting the intern program.Apply for NPSNOIVALL1900278
