Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0111
The "Cultural Landscape" notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0111) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior public announcement explaining that NPS has already entered into a task agreement with the Student Conservation Association (SCA) under an existing cooperative agreement. Even though it appears in the same systems where competitive grants are often posted, it is explicitly not a request for applications and is not open for new applicants to compete. In practical terms, the purpose of the posting is transparency: it lets the public know that NPS and SCA have formalized a specific work assignment connected to cultural landscape work, rather than inviting proposals from outside organizations.
The agreement is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning NPS is not simply buying a service through a standard contract. Instead, it is a partnership-style arrangement where SCA carries out a defined statement of work aligned with NPS program goals, with the relationship governed by the cooperative agreement terms and the specific task agreement details. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," which generally indicates the work does not fit neatly into typical categories and is clarified by the narrative: support for cultural landscape interns and associated field operations at a specific park site.
The core work described centers on SCA recruiting, providing, and managing Cultural Landscape Interns who will support NPS efforts, with the interns required to be qualified and acceptable to NPS as outlined in an attached description (Attachment A, referenced but not included in the excerpt). SCA is responsible for ensuring the interns and the program comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and codes. Beyond staffing, SCA must handle key logistical and administrative needs: arranging transportation to and from Petersburg National Battlefield and providing subsistence support for interns during their tour of duty. SCA must also provide day-to-day oversight, including supervising intern conduct, intervening and taking corrective actions when needed, and delivering performance evaluations and broader program assessments to ensure the placement meets NPS expectations.
Administrative support responsibilities are also spelled out in a fairly hands-on way. SCA must conduct background checks, supply uniforms, and maintain intern records, indicating that SCA is serving as the primary host organization managing the internship experience and compliance requirements while coordinating with NPS. The notice lists an expected single award, reinforcing that this is tied to the existing partner relationship rather than a competitive solicitation.
Key administrative details include a posted award ceiling of $27,087 and an expected award count of 1. The posting was created on Aug 02, 2018, with an original closing date of Aug 11, 2018, but that date functions more like an administrative posting window than an application deadline, since no applications are being accepted. The CFDA number is 15.931 (a funding assistance listing associated with NPS), and eligibility is effectively limited in practice because the task agreement is already executed with SCA under a pre-existing cooperative agreement.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0111
