Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0018
The grant notice titled "The Oil Region National Heritage Area" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0018) is a National Park Service (NPS) funding announcement issued by the Department of the Interior. It was posted on January 25, 2017, and carries an original closing date of February 3, 2017. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and would be awarded through a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work rather than simply issuing a check and stepping back.
The most important detail is that this is a "Notice of Intent to Award," not an open call for applications. In plain terms, it is not inviting the public to apply or compete. Instead, NPS is publishing a formal public notice that it intends to fund certain project activities without full and open competition. Announcements like this are commonly used when an agency plans to make a noncompetitive award to a specific partner, often because that partner is uniquely positioned, statutorily recognized, or otherwise best suited to carry out the work.
The funded work is associated with the Oil Region National Heritage Area, and the activity category listed is "Regional Development." The opportunity is tied to CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.939, which is associated with National Park Service financial assistance programs. The notice anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $57,240, indicating that the total federal funding for the project is not expected to exceed that amount.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the note that additional eligibility clarification would be found in a separate text field (not included in the provided excerpt). However, since this is not a competitive announcement, the eligibility label is less about encouraging applicants and more about documenting the intended recipient category in federal reporting terms.
Overall, this announcement functions primarily as a transparency and compliance step: NPS is informing the public that it plans to issue one cooperative agreement, up to $57,240, for activities connected to the Oil Region National Heritage Area, and it plans to do so without conducting a full competitive process.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0018
