Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0132
The Summer Intern 2017 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 17 NERO 0132) is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice that falls under the discretionary funding category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity focus is classified under Employment, Labor and Training, and it is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.931. The notice was created on August 10, 2017, and lists an original closing date of August 20, 2017, with an award ceiling of $25,494. The listing indicates eligibility as "Others," which is a broad category that typically refers to entities outside the standard government categories, though the notice itself does not provide additional detail on who qualifies under that label.
What matters most about this announcement is that it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. The NPS is using the posting strictly as a public notice that it intends to make an award through a task agreement under a master cooperative agreement that has already been competed previously, or that has been justified as a single-source arrangement. In other words, rather than inviting new applicants to apply, the agency is signaling that it plans to issue a specific task agreement within an existing cooperative framework that is already in place, likely with an identified partner organization.
Because it is a notice of intent rather than a competitive funding announcement, the typical grant application elements (submission instructions, program narrative requirements, selection criteria, and other competition details) are not included. The "closing date" in this context functions more like an administrative posting date window for the public notice rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since the notice explicitly states that applications are not being solicited. The posting also does not specify the number of expected awards (the field is blank), reinforcing that this is not structured as a competitive multi-award opportunity.
In practical terms, this notice communicates transparency about the NPS's planned use of cooperative agreement mechanisms to support a summer intern-related effort, with funding up to $25,494. Any organization not already holding the relevant master cooperative agreement generally would not be able to compete for this particular task agreement based on this announcement alone, since the award is intended to be made under an existing, previously established agreement vehicle.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0132

What does it mean that the award will be made through a task agreement under a master cooperative agreement?
It means the planned award is expected to be issued as a specific task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement vehicle (a master cooperative agreement). As described in the notice summary, this generally implies the partner relationship and legal framework already exist, and the task agreement is a follow-on action within that established framework.
What is the funding category for this notice?

The activity focus is listed under Employment, Labor and Training, and the effort is described as related to a summer intern activity.

The notice lists an award ceiling of $25,494, meaning the planned award amount is expected to be up to that maximum.
Does the notice state how many awards will be made?

Generally, no. The notice indicates the award is intended to be made under an existing, previously established master cooperative agreement (or justified single-source arrangement). An organization that does not already hold the relevant master cooperative agreement would typically not be able to compete for this specific task agreement based on this notice alone.
Where are the application instructions, required narratives, and selection criteria?
They are not included. Because this is described as a notice of intent rather than a competitive funding announcement, typical competitive application elements (submission instructions, program narrative requirements, selection criteria, etc.) are not provided.
What is the main purpose of publishing a notice like this if it is not open for applications?
In practical terms, it is a transparency step: it publicly communicates NPS's planned use of a cooperative agreement mechanism to support a summer intern-related effort, with funding up to the stated ceiling, under an existing cooperative agreement framework.
