Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOI 19 1083
This opportunity, titled "Utilize interns to assist with critical assessments of bat populations" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI 19 1083), is a National Park Service notice stating the agency's intent to make an award rather than an open call for proposals. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a request for applications and is being published mainly for transparency. The award is planned as a task agreement issued under a cooperative agreement that had already been awarded previously, so the recipient is effectively pre-identified through that existing agreement mechanism.
The project focuses on Mammoth Cave National Park's ongoing response to white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease that has caused major declines in bat populations across the eastern United States and has affected some endangered bat species. The work described centers on "aggressive response and monitoring activities," which typically include field and cave monitoring, population assessments, and tracking disease impacts over time to support management decisions and broader conservation strategies. The intent is to use interns as part of the workforce supporting these efforts, placing them into roles that contribute directly to data collection and other critical assessment tasks tied to bat conservation and disease surveillance.
From an administrative standpoint, the listing identifies the Department of the Interior, National Park Service as the sponsoring agency and categorizes the funding as discretionary, with the funding instrument listed as a cooperative agreement. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number provided is 15.931. The posting indicates an expected number of awards of one, which aligns with the notice-of-intent format and the reference to a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement.
Key dates in the public record include a creation date of August 16, 2019 and an original closing date of August 25, 2019, although in this context the "closing date" functions more like a posting window for the public notice rather than a deadline for competing applications. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which commonly appears in notices where a specific funding cap is not being announced in the synopsis or where details are provided in an attached full announcement rather than the summary record. The eligibility field is broadly labeled "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but because the notice is not soliciting applications, eligibility is largely moot for outside parties unless they are already part of the pre-existing cooperative agreement structure referenced by the NPS.
In practical terms, the takeaway is that this notice signals an administrative step by the National Park Service to support bat monitoring and white-nose syndrome response at Mammoth Cave National Park by engaging interns through an already-established partner agreement. Anyone looking for funding opportunities to apply to should treat this as informational only, and refer to the attached full announcement for any additional context about the specific partner arrangement, intern roles, and project scope.Apply for NPS NOI 19 1083
