Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00479
The Business Plan Internship Program (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00479) is a National Park Service initiative under the U.S. Department of the Interior designed to bring graduate-level students into real-world projects that tackle practical business planning and operational issues within National Park Service park units and/or program offices. The core purpose of the program is to produce actionable, usable solutions, meaning the student work is intended to directly support decision-making and improve how parks and program offices plan, operate, and address management challenges. The funding activity category is listed as Education, reflecting the program's emphasis on experiential, graduate-level learning paired with applied problem-solving for public land management.
This opportunity was structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically means the work would be carried out with substantial involvement from the National Park Service during the project. The opportunity references CFDA number 15.954 and indicates an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $350,000. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others" with additional clarification normally found in the full eligibility text, but in this specific posting the practical reality is that it was not opened for competitive applications.
Importantly, the notice states that no applications would be accepted because it served as a notice of intent to partner with Inspiring Capital under an existing agreement. In other words, rather than being a standard open grant competition, it functioned as an administrative announcement confirming the agency's plan to make an award through a pre-existing partnership arrangement. The posting was created on July 30, 2018, and the original closing date field reflects that non-competitive, no-application status rather than a typical submission deadline.Apply for P18AS00479
