Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0097
The "Crossroads of the American Revolution NHA" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0097) is a National Park Service notice related to work in the Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area. It is listed as a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and it uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, with an activity category tied to regional development. The CFDA number associated with it is 15.939, which is a National Park Service assistance listing used for certain partnership and support activities.
A key point in the description is that this announcement is not a request for applications. In other words, it is not an open, competitive grant solicitation where new applicants are being invited to submit proposals. Instead, the notice serves as public disclosure that the National Park Service intends to make a task agreement award under an existing master cooperative agreement. The language also indicates that the underlying master cooperative agreement was either previously competed or was established through a single-source justification, meaning the partner relationship and award structure were already determined through an earlier process rather than through this announcement.
The posting includes an expected total award amount capped at $327,720 (the award ceiling) and anticipates making one award. That combination, along with the "task agreement under a master cooperative agreement" wording, signals that the funding is meant to support a specific, predefined scope of work with a known partner organization rather than to fund multiple new projects from multiple applicants. The original closing date is shown as August 4, 2018, but given the nature of the notice, that date functions more like an administrative posting period than a true application deadline.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a note to consult an additional eligibility section for clarification. In practice, for announcements like this, the eligibility category can appear broad even when the actual action is limited to an existing partner under the master cooperative agreement. The overall intent of the announcement is transparency: it documents the agency's plan to issue a task agreement and provides the public record of the anticipated award, amount, and mechanism, rather than inviting new submissions.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0097

Which federal agency is associated with this notice?
The notice is issued under the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS).
What does the Funding Opportunity Number "NPS 18 NERO 0097" refer to?
It is the identifier used for this specific NPS posting/notice. It helps distinguish this notice from other opportunities and agency postings.
Is this announcement a request for applications (RFA)?
No. The description explicitly states this announcement is not a request for applications. It is not an open, competitive solicitation inviting new proposals.
If it is not an open solicitation, what is the purpose of the posting?
The purpose is public disclosure and transparency. The notice documents that NPS intends to make a task agreement award under an existing master cooperative agreement, and it creates a public record of the anticipated award mechanism and amount.
What type of funding instrument is being used?
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement. The notice also indicates the action will be a task agreement award under an existing master cooperative agreement.
What does "task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement" mean in this context?
It means the agency plans to issue a specific task-level award (a task agreement) under a broader, already-established master cooperative agreement. This usually indicates the scope of work and partner relationship are predefined under the master agreement framework rather than competed through this notice.
Does this notice indicate there will be a competitive selection process?
The description suggests it is not a competitive, open call. It states the award will be made under an existing master cooperative agreement that was either previously competed or established through a single-source justification.
What is the maximum funding amount mentioned in the notice?
The expected total award amount is capped at $327,720, described as the award ceiling.
How many awards does the notice anticipate making?
The notice anticipates making one award.
What does the combination of "one award" and an "award ceiling" suggest?
Taken together with the task agreement language, it signals the funding is intended for a specific, predefined scope of work with a known partner organization, rather than multiple awards to multiple new applicants.
What is the CFDA number (assistance listing) associated with this opportunity, and what does it represent?
The associated CFDA (assistance listing) number is 15.939. The notice describes this as a National Park Service assistance listing used for certain partnership and support activities.
What is the activity category tied to this opportunity?
The notice ties the activity category to regional development.
What is the original closing date shown, and how should it be interpreted?
The original closing date shown is August 4, 2018. Because the posting is not a request for applications, the date functions more like an administrative posting period than a true application deadline for new submissions.
Who is listed as eligible to apply?
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a note to consult an additional eligibility section for clarification.
Does the broad eligibility label mean any organization can apply?
Not necessarily. The notice explains that, for announcements like this, eligibility can appear broad even when the actual action is limited to an existing partner under the master cooperative agreement.
Why would an eligibility category appear broad if the award is intended for a specific partner?
The notice indicates the posting is primarily for transparency about an intended award under an existing agreement. In those situations, the system or posting format may still display generalized eligibility categories even though the practical award path is constrained by the pre-existing master cooperative agreement.
What does it mean that the master cooperative agreement was "previously competed" or established through "single-source justification"?
It means the underlying partner relationship and award structure were already determined through an earlier process, either through an earlier competition or through a documented justification for selecting a single source, rather than being decided through this posting.
What should someone do if they are looking for open NPS grant opportunities related to this area?
Based on this notice alone, this particular posting is not an open call for new applications. Anyone seeking an open, competitive opportunity would need to look for separate announcements that explicitly invite proposals and accept applications.
