Opportunity Summary:

The Baltimore National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0079) is a National Park Service notice explaining that the agency intends to provide funding for specific project activities tied to the Baltimore National Heritage Area, using a cooperative agreement. It falls under the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS), and is categorized as a discretionary award supporting regional development activities, listed under CFDA 15.939.

This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead of inviting proposals through an open, competitive process, it serves as a public notification that the National Park Service plans to fund these activities without competition. In practical terms, that means there is no typical application window for new applicants to submit proposals in response to this posting, and the funding is intended for a pre-identified effort or partner arrangement consistent with the agency's plans for the Baltimore National Heritage Area.

The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as participating in planning, coordination, technical support, or oversight as the work is carried out. The listing shows an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this notice relates to a single anticipated agreement rather than multiple grants.

Key dates associated with the posting include a creation and posted date of June 15, 2016, and a closing date of June 24, 2016 (unchanged as the current closing date). Even though a closing date is listed, the notice language makes clear that this is not a competitive solicitation. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which often signals that the specific dollar amount is not provided in the public synopsis or is handled through internal documentation rather than being stated as a maximum in the announcement itself.

Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a note directing readers to additional eligibility information (not included in the text you provided). Overall, the purpose of the notice is transparency: it alerts the public that the National Park Service plans to make a non-competitive cooperative agreement award connected to activities within the Baltimore National Heritage Area program.
