Background
Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic desires to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with a U.S. based non-profit conservation organization (Recipient) that places interns, 18-years of age and older, who are enrolled or recently graduated from in an accredited natural resource or conservation program, in conservation management internships to assist in the completion of Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP) and Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plan (ICRMP) projects at Department of Navy and Marine Corps installations. The interns will work closely with installation Navy Natural and Cultural Resource Managers gaining valuable professional knowledge, skills, and abilities related to conservation management.

Grant Details
The specific scope of projects will be outlined in the Performance Work Statement contained in each work order.

The Cooperative Agreement will establish functions, responsibilities, and procedures for implementing Navy and Recipient cooperative projects at DoN installations and would not in itself constitute a funding obligation. DoN funding for projects will be approved and authorized through individual work orders that identify the project and the work to be completed, costs, personnel requirements, and other specific project details.

Eligibility Requirements
Interested organizations must be a qualifying Section 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in the U.S. which is authorized to enter into a Cooperative Agreement. The Recipient must demonstrate the ability and experience to successfully meet all of the Responsibilities outlined in Section 3.1 above, including maintaining the capability for worldwide and simultaneous deployment of interns.

Period of Performance
The period of performance covered by this Cooperative Agreement is one year starting from the date this Agreement is awarded.

The Government may award up to four additional option years by modification to the agreement unless terminated by written notification from either Party. The total duration of the Agreement, including award of any option years, shall not exceed 5 years.

Grant Value
The Navy's maximum funding obligation for this Cooperative Agreement will not exceed $1,000,000 per Federal fiscal year. Costs in excess of this amount will not be paid. If additional work exceeding this amount is requested by the Navy, the statement of work and funding limitation will be adjusted by formal, written modification to this Agreement.
