Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "NOTICE OF INTENT: Modification 1 to FY2018 Implementation of Management Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00349), is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action being carried out through a cooperative agreement. It is tied to an existing cooperative agreement, P18AC00109, between the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service and the Utah Heritage Highway 89 Alliance, which serves as the management entity for the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area (MPNHA). In practical terms, the notice signals an amendment or update (Modification 1) to the FY2018 work connected to implementing the National Heritage Area management plan, and it states that, unless something is specifically changed in the task agreement, the original terms and conditions of the cooperative agreement remain in effect.
The purpose of the underlying agreement is to help fulfill the requirements of Public Law 109-338 (120 Stat. 1738), which is the federal law associated with establishing and guiding the work of the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area. The opportunity sits within the "Natural Resources" funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.939, a federal assistance listing commonly used for National Park Service partnership and assistance programs. While it is labeled as a discretionary opportunity, the structure and context make clear that it is intended to support a specific partner already working with NPS under the existing agreement, rather than being a broad, open competition among many applicants.
The funding details indicate a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $327,720, and an original application closing date of June 30, 2018 (with the opportunity created on June 20, 2018). Eligible applicants are listed generally as "Others," with a note to see additional eligibility information, which typically means the funding is limited to certain types of entities or, in many cases like this, to a named or clearly implied partner organization that already has the cooperative agreement in place. The cooperative agreement funding instrument type also matters: it usually means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported activities, such as coordination, technical input, or shared planning, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back.
Programmatically, the notice is rooted in the National Heritage Area model. The description emphasizes what National Heritage Areas are meant to do: protect and interpret landscapes where natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources come together to tell a nationally significant story shaped by geography and human activity. For the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area, the work supported under this modification would be aimed at implementing the approved management plan, which typically includes activities like heritage preservation projects, interpretive and educational programming, coordinated tourism and wayfinding efforts, community engagement, partnership building, and strategic planning tasks that help sustain the landscape and its stories. The central idea is that Congress recognizes these areas because they can communicate nationally important themes of American history and experience, and this cooperative agreement modification is one mechanism for supporting that ongoing work in FY2018.
