Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award: Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0162) is a National Park Service (NPS) public notice stating that the Department of the Interior intends to fund a specific project through a cooperative agreement, and that the award will be made without full and open competition. In practical terms, this means the NPS is not inviting the public to apply or compete for this funding. Instead, it is posting the announcement to document and disclose an intended, pre-selected funding action. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and tied to CFDA 15.939, with the funding activity category listed as "Other," indicating the work does not fit neatly into a standard grants category and is further explained in the full notice.
The planned award amount is up to 610,000 dollars, with one expected award. The announcement was created on August 19, 2016, and lists an original closing date of August 29, 2016. Even though a closing date is shown, the notice repeatedly emphasizes that this is not a request for applications; the date functions more like an administrative window for posting the public notice and associated documentation rather than an application deadline in the usual sense. The listing also indicates that eligible applicants are described as "Others," but that eligibility details require reading the additional eligibility information in the full notice. That phrasing is common in notices where an award is intended for a particular organization or partner that already meets program requirements, rather than for a broad pool of applicants.
Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the relationship implied here is more collaborative than a standard grant. Cooperative agreements typically involve substantial federal involvement, meaning NPS staff may play an active role in planning, oversight, or technical coordination as the supported activities are carried out. While the brief synopsis does not describe the project tasks in detail, it makes clear that the NPS plans to support project activities associated with the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor and that anyone seeking the exact scope, justification for the non-competitive approach, and any partner expectations would need to consult the Related Documents referenced in the announcement. The notice also points users to Grants.gov support resources for navigation and general grants information, but again, that guidance is general and does not imply that applications are being accepted for this specific action.
