Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOI 19 1316
The "Natural and Cultural Resource Interns" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI 19 1316) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award a task agreement under an already existing cooperative agreement. It is explicitly not an open call for applications, meaning the agency is not soliciting proposals from the public. Instead, the notice serves as formal public documentation that the Department of the Interior, National Park Service intends to make a specific award action through a pre-established partnership mechanism.
The work described centers on placing youth interns with Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve (JELA) to build practical experience in resource management and federal stewardship. Interns would work directly alongside JELA staff on two priority program areas that blend natural and cultural resource responsibilities. First, they would support environmental monitoring and flooding response assessment at the Barataria Preserve Unit. This work is aimed at gathering and interpreting on-the-ground conditions tied to flooding impacts so the park can make better adaptive management decisions, which typically means adjusting management approaches based on monitoring results and changing environmental conditions. Second, interns would assist with an archives digitization effort intended to expand online access to the park's historical archives and cultural collections. That kind of project generally involves organizing, scanning or photographing materials, creating or refining descriptive information (metadata), and helping prepare collections for public-facing digital access in a way that supports preservation and research.
Beyond these two primary assignments, the notice emphasizes that JELA resource management staff also participates in major public events and volunteer projects. As a result, interns would likely see a broader cross-section of how resource stewardship functions in practice, including coordination with public programming, volunteer engagement, and the operational side of protecting and interpreting park resources. The overall theme is hands-on training in both environmental field support and cultural collections access, giving interns exposure to the interdisciplinary nature of National Park Service work.
From the administrative details provided, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument. The funding activity category is listed as natural resources, and the CFDA (now commonly referred to under Assistance Listings) number is 15.931. The notice lists an expected number of awards of 1, and an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that no additional competed funding amount is being announced here because the action is tied to a previously awarded agreement and structured as a task agreement under that existing vehicle. The posting dates show a creation date of August 16, 2019 and an original closing date of August 25, 2019, consistent with a notice format rather than a competitive application window. Eligible applicants are indicated as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but given this is not a request for applications, eligibility language functions more as a standard listing than an invitation to apply.Apply for NPS NOI 19 1316
