Opportunity Information: Apply for P22AS00024
The Scientists in Parks (SIP) Internship Program - Youth and Veteran Organization Conservation Activities is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). Issued under funding opportunity number P22AS00024, it uses a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in how the project is carried out compared with a standard grant. The program sits in the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.931) and is designed to support paid internship projects that tackle real natural resource challenges in units of the national park system.
At its core, the opportunity funds the Scientists in Parks Internship Program, which places college students, recent graduates, and early career professionals into paid, project-based positions focused on natural resource issues in national parks. While the announcement title highlights youth and veteran organization conservation activities, the central purpose is workforce development and on-the-ground conservation support: providing structured, career-launching experiences while helping parks advance priority work such as resource monitoring, conservation planning, field surveys, data collection, and other applied natural resource projects. These internships are meant to be practical and mission-driven, giving participants professional experience in park settings while contributing to the stewardship of public lands.
The posting indicates an award ceiling of up to $3,000,000 with an expectation of one award, suggesting a single, relatively large partner agreement intended to support or coordinate a broad set of internships and related conservation activities. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with further clarification referenced in an additional eligibility section (not included in the excerpt), which commonly points to specific types of organizations such as nonprofit partners, educational institutions, or youth and veteran-serving conservation organizations that can administer internships and coordinate placements in collaboration with NPS.
Key administrative details include a creation date of July 20, 2021, and an original application closing date of October 1, 2021. In practical terms, this opportunity was aimed at selecting one partner (or lead organization) to help implement SIP internships at scale, ensuring participants are paid and supported while their work addresses identified natural resource needs within national parks.Apply for P22AS00024
