Opportunity Summary:
The Wheeling National Heritage Area Corporation Management Plan opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0029) is a National Park Service notice meant to inform the public that the agency intends to make a specific, non-competitive award. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS was not soliciting proposals from the broader public and there was no open competition process tied to this posting. Instead, the announcement serves as a formal transparency step indicating the NPS planned to fund particular project activities through a task agreement (Task Agreement J4515109061) issued under an already-existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement H4515100001) with the Wheeling National Heritage Area Corporation.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category is listed under "Other," with the clarification that it relates to a National Heritage Area, and the CFDA program reference is 15.904, Historic Preservation Fund Grants-In-Aid. The focus implied by the title and category is development or support of a management plan tied to the Wheeling National Heritage Area, aligning with the kinds of planning, coordination, and stewardship work typically associated with heritage area administration and preservation-related programming.
From a funding standpoint, the announcement indicates a single expected award, with total estimated funding of $637,000. The award ceiling and floor are both set at $637,000, which signals a fixed intended award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. Eligibility is noted as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but since this is a notice of intent to award under an existing agreement with a named partner, that eligibility line functions more as standard grants.gov metadata than an invitation for new applicants.
Timing details show the notice was posted and created on July 28, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 3, 2010, and an archive date of August 4, 2010. Those dates reflect the public notice window rather than an application deadline in the usual sense, since the NPS was not requesting submissions. Anyone needing access to the full announcement materials was directed to contact Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, at 215-597-6476, and the posting also points users to grants.gov navigation help for general site support.
