Opportunity Information: Apply for NOI NPS P18AC01033
The 2019 Bat Monitoring Interns Mammoth Cave National Park opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NOI NPS P18AC01033) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award rather than an open call for proposals. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, is announcing publicly that it plans to issue a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement that has already been awarded. Because the award pathway is through a previously established cooperative agreement, the notice is specifically not inviting new applications from the public and is primarily meant to satisfy transparency and public-notice requirements.
The purpose of the task agreement is to fund bat monitoring interns at Mammoth Cave National Park. While the short notice does not spell out day-to-day duties, the title and stated purpose indicate the funding supports internship roles focused on bat monitoring work associated with park resource stewardship and education. Mammoth Cave National Park is widely known for its cave systems and bat habitats, and bat monitoring in national parks commonly supports conservation, population tracking, and management decisions, often in response to threats such as habitat disruption or disease pressures. The activity category for the opportunity is listed as Education, which signals the work is structured as an internship or training-oriented experience that supports learning and workforce development while also contributing to the park's natural resource monitoring needs.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument type. A cooperative agreement typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the supported work compared to a standard grant, which aligns with an intern-focused monitoring effort where NPS staff may provide direction, training, oversight, field protocols, and coordination with park operations. The listing shows an expected number of awards of one, meaning NPS anticipated issuing a single task agreement for this effort rather than multiple separate awards.
The financial details indicate an award ceiling of $40,415. This ceiling represents the maximum anticipated federal funding amount for the task agreement described in this notice. The opportunity references CFDA number 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service-related assistance programs and is used for tracking and reporting federal assistance activities. The posting includes a creation date of August 18, 2018, and an original closing date of August 28, 2018; in the context of a notice of intent to award, that closing date is best understood as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since the notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications.
Eligibility is summarized in the source data as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which is common for notices tied to pre-existing cooperative agreements because eligibility is effectively constrained to the entity or entities already holding the underlying cooperative agreement vehicle. The announcement directs readers to an attached full announcement for more information, which would typically contain the background on the existing cooperative agreement, the anticipated scope of work for the bat monitoring interns, reporting requirements, period of performance, and other administrative terms tied to the task agreement.Apply for NOI NPS P18AC01033
