About this opportunity

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service�s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AC00065 Project Title Historically Black Colleges & Universities Internship Workshops Recipient Greening Youth Foundation Principle Investigator / Program Manager Angelou Ezeilo Total Anticipated Award Amount $450,000.00 Cost Share 150,090.00 New Award or Continuation? Continuation of Cooperative Agreement P15AC00020 Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of award until 3/31/2016 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of award until 3/31/2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) & 16 USC 1723 CFDA # and Title 15.931 Youth Conservation Activities Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation NPS Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 [email protected] OVERVIEW The Historically Black Colleges & Universities Initiative (HBCUI) Program is a program initiated by the Washington Office of the NPS in conjunction with GYF. It was developed to link college students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU�s) to NPS sites and units that have a focus on the African American Experience and Culture. Some of the objectives of the program are: � To encourage a better understanding and appreciation of the important role African Americans played in the development and progress of the United States, and share these experiences with their communities. � To expose college students in various fields to the careers in the NPS, and ultimately guide them towards careers in conservation. � To assist NPS in improving their demographics with regard to youth and diversity numbers. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms and conditions as stated in the Cooperative Agreement will apply to this Task Agreement. Project Description: The HBCU Internship Program is designed to link college students attending HBCU�s to NPS sites and units with a focus on the African American Experience and Culture. For the HBCUI program will be significantly expended in FY 2015. NPS funding for the program is increased to $450,000. The number of interns that will participate in the program will increase to 42. Significant changes in the HBCUI Program for FY 2015 include: � The program will include all the African American Experience Foundation (AAEF) sites, as seen from the list below. � HBCUI Project Management will be extended to cover a longer duration before and after the internship period. Past experience has shown that there is a greater need to begin recruiting earlier to attract more quality candidates. Also, a considerable number of HBCUI interns are extended beyond the ten weeks or receive consideration for non-compete hiring opportunities after the internship, and management of the interns typically continues well into the fall months. Another reason for increasing project management is that due to the higher number of interns and the wider geographic coverage of the project, there will be a second HBCUI Area Manager for 12 weeks covering the internship period. As a result, there will be 3 HBCUI managers, who will all be qualifying `youth�. This increase in project management will result in a higher quality internship for all participating interns. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT Greening Youth Foundation agrees to: 1. To stimulate public purpose such as education, job training, development of responsible citizenship, productive community involvement, furthering the understanding and appreciation of natural and cultural resources through the involvement of youth and young adults in care and enhancement of public resources. 2.
