Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0062
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public notice for a discretionary funding action titled "Monitoring Estuarine Condition at Colonial National Historical Park, George Washington Birthplace National Monument, and Assateague Island National Seashore, Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network." The opportunity number is NPS 17 NERO 0062, and it was created on June 13, 2017, with an original closing date of June 22, 2017. Importantly, the notice explicitly states that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as formal public notification that the NPS intends to make a single financial assistance award without competition.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final product. The programmatic focus is environmental monitoring, specifically centered on assessing and tracking estuarine condition across three NPS units: Colonial National Historical Park, George Washington Birthplace National Monument, and Assateague Island National Seashore. The work is tied to the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network, which is part of the NPS Inventory and Monitoring framework used to support long-term ecological data collection and resource stewardship across park networks.
Financially, the announcement lists an award ceiling of $59,166 and anticipates one award. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with the opportunity is 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service programs and is commonly used for NPS assistance awards tied to resource management, science, and conservation-related activities. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with the expectation that additional eligibility details would be provided in an associated field (not included in the excerpt). However, because the award is intended to be made without competition, the eligibility category functions more as a classification than an invitation for prospective applicants.
In practical terms, this notice is best understood as a transparency and compliance step: the NPS is signaling that it plans to directly fund a specific set of monitoring activities related to estuarine ecosystems at the listed parks, through a cooperative agreement, and that it expects to select a recipient through a non-competitive process. The short time window between the posting date and the closing date is consistent with announcements that are meant to document an intended award rather than solicit and evaluate proposals.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0062
