Opportunity Summary:
The Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails Network 2009 Grants Program (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS CBGN2009) was a discretionary National Park Service grant opportunity offered through cooperative agreements to support projects at sites that are part of the Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails (CBGN) Network. The basic purpose of the program was to help designated Chesapeake Bay Gateways carry out high-quality projects that strengthen how people experience and understand the Chesapeake Bay, improve public access to the Bay and its waterways, or advance conservation and restoration outcomes tied to Network goals. In addition to funding individual Gateway projects, the program could also support broader Network-wide initiatives that benefit multiple locations or advance shared priorities across the system.
Funding for the 2009 round was estimated at $500,000 total, with an anticipated 12 awards. Individual awards were expected to fall between a $5,000 floor and a $150,000 ceiling, depending on project scope and fit. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement, recipients should have expected an ongoing partnership element with the National Park Service rather than a hands-off pass-through grant, meaning coordination, shared responsibilities, or technical involvement from the agency could be part of the award structure.
Eligibility was limited and very specific: only sites that were already officially designated as Gateways within the Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails Network could apply in this funding round. The announcement explicitly stated that organizations or sites that were not yet designated Gateways were not eligible for the 2009 grant round, and it directed interested parties to the Network website for information on how to participate and how designation works. The listing associated the opportunity with CFDA 15.930 (Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network), and it included a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants needed to plan for contributing non-federal match or in-kind support consistent with program rules.
Timing for this opportunity was tight. It was posted on April 13, 2009, created on April 14, 2009, and closed on April 17, 2009, with the archive date listed as May 17, 2009. Applicants needing guidance were directed to the Network resources and the list of designated Gateways available at www.baygateways.net, and those who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically were given a direct point of contact: Peggy Wall, Management Assistant for the Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails Network, at 410-295-1328.
