Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00167
The AZCC Biological Intern opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00167) is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, focused on natural resources work under CFDA 15.676. Rather than being a standard open, competitive grant solicitation, it is structured as an amendment to an already existing single-source cooperative agreement. In practical terms, that means the Service planned to modify an ongoing agreement to add or continue funding for a specific purpose, instead of inviting multiple organizations to apply and compete for the award.
The purpose of the amendment is to support the placement of one Arizona Conservation Corps (AZCC) member to serve as a biological intern with the Arizona Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office in Flagstaff, Arizona. The partner organization identified is Conservation Legacy (CL), and the award is characterized as single-source and non-competitive, indicating the Service had already determined the recipient organization and intended to proceed directly with that entity to fulfill the internship placement.
The legal authority cited for the action is the Public Land Corps Act of 1993, as amended. That authority is commonly used to support conservation corps and related service programs that place individuals in roles that build capacity for public land and natural resource projects while providing career-development opportunities. In this case, the act is used as the basis for placing an intern in a biological support role within a Fish and Wildlife Service field office.
Key administrative details include an award ceiling of $11,685. The posting lists expected awards as 0, which aligns with the notice being an amendment to an existing agreement rather than a new competitive award. The opportunity was created on March 16, 2017, with an original closing date of March 23, 2017, reflecting a short public notice window typical of single-source intent notices or administrative updates. Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," with a note to consult additional eligibility text for clarification, but the description itself makes clear the intended recipient is Conservation Legacy for the purpose of providing the AZCC intern.Apply for F17AS00167
