Opportunity Summary:
The Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0194) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a single, non-competitive award to support project activities associated with the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area. It is not a call for applications and should not be read as an open solicitation. Instead, it functions as a formal public announcement that the Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service (NPS), plans to provide funding to a specific recipient or purpose without conducting a competitive selection process.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. The funded work falls under the activity category of regional development, aligning with the mission of National Heritage Areas to support place-based preservation, interpretation, tourism, education, and community and economic development tied to nationally significant landscapes and stories.
Key funding details include an award ceiling of $497,350 and an expected number of awards of 1, indicating the agency anticipates making one award up to that maximum amount. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 15.939, which is commonly tied to National Heritage Area-related assistance administered by NPS. The posting was created on August 29, 2016, with an original closing date of September 8, 2016; in this context, the closing date is better understood as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since applications are not being requested.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full announcement text. In practice, listings like this for non-competitive NPS cooperative agreements are often intended for an established coordinating entity, partner organization, or management unit associated with the named National Heritage Area, rather than the general public. Overall, the main takeaway is that this notice is meant to document transparency around NPS funding intentions for the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area and to signal that the agency plans to proceed with an award without open competition.
