Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Notice of Intent: FY2016 Implementation of Management Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00180) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It is designed to support work tied directly to the approved management plan for the South Park National Heritage Area (NHA). National Heritage Areas, as framed in the notice, are nationally significant landscapes where natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources come together to tell an important story about the American experience. The emphasis is on places where human history and geography have shaped a distinctive region, and where the remaining physical features and living traditions still communicate that story in a coherent, meaningful way. Congress recognizes these areas because they can interpret nationally important themes through real places, communities, and resources that people can experience on the ground.
This particular opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service would typically expect to remain actively involved with the recipient during the period of performance rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The funded effort is described as a task agreement focused on implementing the South Park NHA management plan through a mix of planning, administrative support, outreach, and demonstration projects. In practical terms, that points to work such as coordinating partners, managing program delivery, building public awareness and engagement, and carrying out pilot or model projects that show how the management plan can be put into action. The notice also makes clear that supported activities must serve a public purpose and align with the statutory authority referenced as P.L. 111-11, which is the law connected to the National Heritage Area framework and authorizations.
Funding is capped at an award ceiling of $300,000, and the posting indicates that one award was expected. The opportunity falls under the "Natural Resources" funding activity category and lists CFDA number 15.939, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance programs often associated with heritage partnership and related activities. The application window was short: the opportunity was created and posted on May 18, 2016, with an original and current closing date of May 28, 2016.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced but not included in the text provided. That wording commonly signals that the intended recipient may be a specific organization, partnership entity, or local coordinating body associated with the South Park NHA, rather than a wide-open competition among all applicant types. Overall, the core purpose of the opportunity is to move the South Park National Heritage Area management plan from planning into on-the-ground execution by funding the kinds of organizational capacity, public engagement, and demonstration work that help preserve, interpret, and sustain the region's nationally significant heritage resources.
