Opportunity Summary:
The Schuylkill River Valley National Heritage Area funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0105) is a discretionary National Park Service notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to publicly announce the agency's intent to support a specific set of project activities through a cooperative agreement. It falls under the activity category of regional development and is associated with CFDA number 15.939. The notice was created on July 13, 2016, with an original closing date of July 22, 2016, and it anticipates a single award.
A key point is that this announcement is not a request for applications and is not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it serves as a transparency notice that the National Park Service plans to fund certain project activities without competition. In practical terms, that typically means the agency has already identified an intended recipient or partner organization connected to the Schuylkill River Valley National Heritage Area and is documenting its intention to make an award through a cooperative agreement rather than soliciting proposals from the general public.
The instrument type is important because a cooperative agreement generally indicates substantial federal involvement during the project, such as collaboration, technical assistance, or shared oversight, as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient usually has more independent control over implementation. While the listing shows an award ceiling of 0, that figure often appears in notices that are primarily informational and may not disclose a maximum funding amount in the public synopsis, or it may reflect that the ceiling is not specified in the summary record.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the note that additional eligibility clarification would be contained in a separate text field in the full posting. Even with that broad category, the non-competitive nature of the announcement strongly suggests that it was not meant to attract new applicants, but rather to provide formal notice of an intended award connected to the heritage area partnership.
