Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00254
The grant opportunity titled "Interns to Provide Educational Programs at Death Valley NP" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00254) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior announcement describing a project focused on public education, visitor orientation, and resource stewardship at Death Valley National Park. The work is framed around supporting the NPS mission by both protecting park resources and improving visitor experiences through direct public-facing interpretation and information services. The overall intent is to place interns alongside NPS staff so they can help deliver consistent, accurate guidance to visitors while also expanding the park's capacity to provide educational programming on the area’s natural and historical resources.
The project goals emphasize day-to-day support for visitor enjoyment and safety, with interns helping provide orientation and information to the visiting public. In practice, this means interns would function as an added interpretive and informational presence in the park, helping people understand what they are seeing, how to recreate safely in an extreme desert environment, and how to minimize impacts on sensitive landscapes and cultural sites. The project is also designed to strengthen the park's ability to reach both local community members and the broader public through structured educational programs, not just informal interactions.
The objectives go further by specifying that interns will work with park staff to offer educational programs covering natural and historic resource topics relevant to Death Valley National Park. A notable performance expectation is the scale of public contact: over the course of the internship, participants are expected to engage with more than 20,000 people. That public contact is not just for general outreach, but specifically tied to improving recreational access and safety for visitors, which reflects the practical needs of a high-visit, high-risk environment where heat, remoteness, and limited services can quickly turn routine trips into emergencies. The announcement also highlights a collaborative development component, where interns and NPS staff will jointly assist in shaping educational programs, including developing program content and selecting appropriate locations for delivery, suggesting interns may contribute to program design and refinement rather than only presenting pre-made materials.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, with the funding activity area listed under natural resources and CFDA number 15.931. The eligible applicant type is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The listed award ceiling is $32,999. However, the notice is explicit that this is not an open call for proposals: it is a Notice of Intent to Award, issued to provide public notice that NPS will fund the project under an existing cooperative agreement with ACE. The expected number of awards is listed as 0 because the agency is not soliciting applications through this posting; it is documenting an intended award action under an already-established partnership rather than running a competitive application process. The opportunity record was created on July 30, 2019, and the closing language reiterates that it is not a request for applications.Apply for P19AS00254
