Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00568
The Interagency Wild and Scenic Rivers Fellows opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00568) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement under the U.S. Department of the Interior designed to place fellows and interns on projects supporting rivers in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The central purpose is to create and administer a structured pipeline of internships and longer-term fellowships that work directly with NPS staff and the Interagency National Wild and Scenic Rivers Coordinating Council. The work is centered on practical river conservation needs, with an emphasis on understanding, monitoring, and improving water quality, along with broader sustainability goals for designated wild and scenic rivers and the communities connected to them.
The program is built around two primary participant tracks. Fellowships are described as 11-month positions intended to provide sustained, in-depth experience that mirrors professional-level work in river conservation, planning, and recreation management. In addition, the agreement supports "Rigorous Internships" that last 11 weeks and must align with the specific requirements of an approved Rigorous Internship Program, as outlined by NPS and the Office of the Secretary's Personnel Bulletin No. 12-15. Across both tracks, the placements are meant to give participants hands-on exposure to real-world conservation and stewardship work, including tasks that directly contribute to river resource protection and public enjoyment.
A key theme of the opportunity is workforce development and youth engagement. Beyond technical natural resource work, the placements are intended to engage young people in conservation, stewardship, and outdoor recreation projects, helping participants build familiarity with NPS mission work while also introducing them to career pathways in public lands and river-focused natural resource fields. In practice, that means participants should come away with experience working in interdisciplinary settings where science, community interests, and recreation management intersect, especially in the context of protecting river values and supporting local communities.
On the administrative side, this opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, reflecting an arrangement where the NPS expects substantial involvement in the project rather than a hands-off grant. The listed activity category is Energy, and the CFDA number is 15.931. The anticipated award structure indicates a single expected award with a ceiling of $82,000.
Importantly, this posting is not an open, competitive application. The original closing language states it is a notice of intent to partner with Conservation Legacy under an existing cooperative agreement (P13AC01381), and it explicitly notes that no applications will be accepted. In other words, the notice documents NPS intent to implement the fellowship and internship placements through an established partner relationship rather than soliciting proposals from new applicants.Apply for P17AS00568
