Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00166
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement tied to Cape Cod National Seashore that supports the placement of American Conservation Experience (ACE) EPIC interns into Natural Resource Management and Science (NRMS) roles, specifically referenced as intern positions PO-135822, PO-135819, and PO-135816. Its core purpose is workforce and career development through experiential learning: interns are brought into day-to-day park operations so they can meaningfully assist with natural resource stewardship, cultural resource support, and education-related management work, while also gaining practical, field-based experience that aligns with their academic background or career interests. In other words, the project is designed to advance the park's resource protection and interpretation goals while simultaneously building early-career skills and professional awareness for participating interns.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00166 and is categorized as discretionary funding using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity category is education (CFDA 15.931), reflecting the strong training and skill-building emphasis even though the work occurs in an applied conservation and park management setting. The Department of the Interior, National Park Service is the sponsoring agency. The notice was created on April 5, 2017, and the expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $64,380, indicating a single agreement structured to cover the intern placements and associated project costs under the stated ceiling.
A key practical detail is that this is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. The posting functions as a notice of intent to enter into an agreement with American Conservation Experience under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC00015) and explicitly states that no applications will be accepted. Eligibility is therefore not broadly available to the public or to typical applicant pools; instead, the agreement is intended to be executed with ACE as the partner organization, which would then manage or facilitate the internship placements in coordination with NPS staff at Cape Cod National Seashore.
In terms of what the work supports, the description emphasizes three intertwined areas: natural resources, cultural resources, and education management. While the announcement does not list specific tasks, the framing suggests interns will be embedded in projects that could include resource monitoring and protection activities, assisting with preservation or documentation efforts connected to cultural resources, and supporting education or outreach goals that help translate park science and stewardship priorities to visitors and the broader community. The overall objective is twofold: deliver tangible support to park management priorities and provide interns with hands-on training, career exposure, and field-relevant skill development that fits their studies and/or professional direction.Apply for P17AS00166
