Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0167
The grant opportunity titled "Provide Cultural Landscape Inventory and Preservation Technical Assistance to NPS Northeast Regional Parks" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 17 NERO 0167) is a discretionary funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It falls under the Environment funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.945. The listed funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically signals that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
The central point of the announcement is that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service intends to make an award through a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement that was either previously competed or justified as a single-source arrangement. In practical terms, this means the NPS is not opening a new competitive application process for the general public; it is announcing its intention to fund specific work through a pre-established partner framework. The purpose of publishing the notice is largely transparency and public record, rather than soliciting new proposals.
The project focus, as stated in the title, is to support cultural landscape inventory and preservation technical assistance for National Park Service parks in the Northeast Region. Cultural landscape inventory work commonly involves identifying and documenting historically significant landscapes, their features, and their condition, often to support long-term stewardship, compliance needs, and preservation planning. Preservation technical assistance usually refers to specialized support such as guidance on treatment approaches, documentation standards, landscape analysis methods, and recommendations that help parks protect and manage historically significant landscape resources. While the notice does not provide a detailed scope of work, the framing suggests technical, professional services that strengthen the NPS capacity to document and preserve cultural landscapes across multiple regional park units.
From the funding details provided, the anticipated award ceiling is $93,000, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The opportunity was created on August 24, 2017, and carried an original closing date of September 3, 2017. Even though a closing date is shown, the language clarifies that this is not an open application solicitation; the timeline more likely relates to the public notice period and internal administrative processing associated with finalizing the task agreement.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note to consult an "Additional Information on Eligibility" field for clarification. However, because the NPS is indicating it will award under an existing master cooperative agreement, eligibility in practice is constrained to the organization(s) already positioned under that master agreement or justified single-source arrangement, rather than any new applicant community. Overall, this opportunity functions as a formal notification of NPS intent to fund a specific, limited-scope cooperative agreement task that supports cultural landscape documentation and preservation support for Northeast regional parks, rather than an invitation for new proposals.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0167
