NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - Wheeling National Heritage Area | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - Wheeling National Heritage Area" is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement letting the public know that the agency plans to fund a specific project without using a competitive application process. In other words, it is not a normal grant solicitation where multiple organizations submit proposals for review. The NPS is publishing this notice to document its intent to make an award directly, without full and open competition, which is a common step used for transparency when an agency expects to support a particular partner or project under a justified, non-competitive approach.

This opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS), and the planned funding instrument is a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the funded activities, such as collaborating on planning, providing technical assistance, coordinating with stakeholders, or helping guide implementation, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation.

The activity category is identified as regional development, and the funding is associated with CFDA number 15.939, a program area that supports NPS partnership and assistance activities (the exact program title is typically tied to NPS financial assistance for heritage, preservation, and related partnership work). The announcement is specifically connected to the Wheeling National Heritage Area, signaling that the project activities are intended to support heritage area priorities such as interpretation, preservation, community revitalization tied to heritage resources, coordination among local partners, and other place-based initiatives that strengthen the region's cultural and historical assets.

From a funding standpoint, the notice indicates an anticipated single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $596,000. That ceiling is effectively the maximum amount NPS expects to provide under this action as described in the notice. The posting and creation dates are May 16, 2016, and the listed closing date is May 25, 2016. Because the announcement is not soliciting applications, the closing date functions more like an administrative timeframe for the public notice period rather than a deadline for applicants to submit materials.

Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a reference to additional eligibility details in the full announcement record. In similar NPS notices of intent to award tied to national heritage areas, the intended recipient is often the local heritage area management entity or a closely affiliated nonprofit or governmental partner responsible for implementing the heritage area work plan. The key takeaway is that the NPS is not opening this funding up to general competition; it is announcing its intention to proceed with a specific cooperative agreement for the Wheeling National Heritage Area project activities.

Overall, this is best understood as a transparency notice rather than an opportunity to apply. It communicates: who is issuing the action (DOI-NPS), what type of award is planned (cooperative agreement), the general program and activity area (regional development/CFDA 15.939), the approximate maximum federal funding level ($596,000), and that the NPS intends to fund the work without full and open competition, resulting in a single expected award.
