Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00757
The Intergovernmental Internship Cooperative (IIC) Youth Partnership Project at Pipe Spring National Monument is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award a cooperative agreement, published by the U.S. Department of the Interior. This announcement is strictly a public notice and not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from other organizations. Instead, it signals the agency's plan to fund a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive award.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement (Funding Instrument Type: Cooperative Agreement), which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project work compared with a standard grant. The project is associated with cooperative agreement number P17AC01567, and the funding opportunity is listed under number P17AS00757. The intended recipient is Southern Utah University, identified as a partner under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESU partnerships are commonly used by federal agencies to collaborate with higher education institutions and other partners on projects tied to research, technical assistance, education, and public service related to natural and cultural resource stewardship.
The focus of the opportunity centers on youth partnership and internships connected to Pipe Spring National Monument. While the notice does not provide detailed task descriptions, the title and activity categories indicate the project is designed to support internship or youth employment experiences that align with education, workforce development, and natural resource-related work within the national park setting. In practice, projects framed this way often aim to provide hands-on learning and job training for early-career participants while also helping parks accomplish mission-related work such as visitor services, interpretation and education, resource management support, or operational assistance, depending on park needs and project design.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is associated with activity areas spanning education, employment/labor and training, and natural resources. The eligible applicant type listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the intended recipient being a public university. The notice lists an award ceiling of $70,800 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that this is a targeted, single-recipient action rather than a competitive program with multiple awards.
Key timing details include a creation date of September 1, 2017, and an "original closing date" that explicitly states there is no application process because it is not a request for applications. Overall, this notice functions as a transparency step: it informs the public that the NPS intends to move forward with a specific, non-competitively awarded cooperative agreement to Southern Utah University to support an internship and youth partnership project benefitting Pipe Spring National Monument.Apply for P17AS00757
