Opportunity Summary:
The grant listing titled "Capt. John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail and Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails Network" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0039) is a National Park Service announcement documenting a discretionary cooperative agreement award. It is not an open solicitation and was not intended to invite applications from other organizations. Instead, it serves as a public notice that a specific nonprofit organization, the Chesapeake Conservancy, Inc., was selected as the recipient for work connected to natural resources, environmental priorities, and education tied to the Chesapeake region and related National Park Service partnership programs.
The announcement indicates there was one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $194,150. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $194,150, which effectively signals a single, fixed award amount rather than a competitive range. The assistance listing (CFDA) number is 15.935, associated with National Trails System Projects, aligning the effort with trail and water-based heritage and recreation initiatives. The funding instrument is described as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service anticipated substantial involvement or collaboration in carrying out the work, such as joint planning, coordination, or shared responsibilities, rather than providing a grant with minimal federal participation.
Although the record lists an eligibility category of 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (other than institutions of higher education), the repeated statement throughout the posting clarifies that this eligibility language is not meant to invite proposals; it simply reflects the type of organization that received the award. The timeline fields show it was posted and created on June 4, 2013, carried an original and current closing date of June 9, 2013, and was archived on June 10, 2013. In this context, those dates function more like administrative posting and archival milestones for the public record, not a real application window.
For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153. Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a formal government posting documenting a single National Park Service cooperative agreement award to the Chesapeake Conservancy, Inc. for Chesapeake-related trail, gateways, and watertrails network work in the natural resources, environmental, and educational space, with total funding of $194,150 and no cost-sharing requirement.
