Opportunity Summary:

This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement tied to visitor services, interpretation, and education outreach connected to the John W. Berry, Sr. Wright Brothers Aviation Center located at Carillon Historical Park in Dayton, Ohio. The key point in the title and listing is that it is not a request for applications, meaning it is not an open, competitive grant solicitation where multiple organizations are being invited to apply. Instead, it documents an intended or existing partnering arrangement in which NPS works directly with a specific nonprofit partner to carry out a defined public-purpose project.

The opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project compared with a standard grant, often including collaboration on planning, interpretive goals, program delivery, or oversight related to how work is carried out. The funding activity category is listed under Education and Humanities (with reference to cultural affairs), and the CFDA number associated with the listing is 15.939.

The named partner in the agreement is Dayton History, identified as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation under Ohio law. While the eligibility field broadly references 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the substance of the notice makes clear that this particular agreement is specifically between NPS and Dayton History. The project purpose is to support preservation, development, operation and use, and interpretation at the aviation center. In practical terms, that scope points to work that can include caring for and maintaining aviation-related resources and exhibits, improving or developing visitor-facing facilities or interpretive elements, supporting day-to-day operations that enable public access, and delivering interpretive and educational programming that helps visitors understand the Wright Brothers story and the site’s significance.

From the funding details provided, the award ceiling is $135,000 and the expected number of awards is one, consistent with a single-partner cooperative agreement rather than an open competition. The posting shows a creation date of September 14, 2016 and an original closing date of September 23, 2016, which in this kind of listing typically functions more as an administrative timeline for the public notice rather than an invitation for outside applicants to submit proposals. Overall, the announcement is best read as a formal record of NPS entering into a cooperative agreement with Dayton History to jointly support and enhance preservation and interpretive visitor experiences at the John W. Berry, Sr. Wright Brothers Aviation Center at Carillon Historical Park.
