Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0133
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive financial assistance award for work in Maryland that supports connecting people with the Chesapeake Bay's heritage. The opportunity is titled "Collaboration to connect people to the heritage of the Chesapeake Bay through advancement of Gateways and Trails and efforts to implement E.O. 13508 in Maryland," and it is presented as a public notice rather than an open call. In other words, it is not inviting the public to submit proposals; it is announcing that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a cooperative agreement without competition.
The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The work is categorized under the Environment funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.930, which aligns with National Park Service assistance programs. The intent is to advance "Gateways and Trails" efforts connected to the Chesapeake Bay, a common framework used to improve public access, interpretation, and engagement with natural and cultural resources by highlighting places to visit (gateways) and the routes that connect them (trails). The emphasis on "connecting people to the heritage" suggests activities that may include interpretive planning, coordination among partners, outreach and education, and on-the-ground or programmatic improvements that make it easier for residents and visitors to experience the Bay's landscapes, communities, and history.
A second major theme is implementing Executive Order 13508 in Maryland. E.O. 13508 is the Chesapeake Bay Protection and Restoration Executive Order, which directs federal agencies to coordinate and support restoration, conservation, and public engagement outcomes for the Chesapeake Bay watershed. In practical terms, the notice indicates the project is meant to support Maryland-focused actions that align with that federal coordination mandate. While the announcement does not list detailed tasks, it frames the purpose as collaborative work that advances Bay-related gateways and trails and helps carry out the goals embodied in E.O. 13508, which often includes strengthening partnerships, improving public access and stewardship opportunities, and better integrating cultural and natural resource initiatives that support the Bay.
The administrative details reinforce that this is a targeted, pre-identified award. The opportunity number is NPS 17 NERO 0133, posted by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, with a creation date of August 12, 2017, and an original closing date of August 21, 2017. The listing shows an expected number of awards of one, and the award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly appears in notices where the precise funding amount is not stated in the public synopsis or is handled through internal budgeting rather than a competed funding range. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note to consult additional eligibility text (not included in the excerpt), which is typical when the recipient is a specific partner organization or a narrow class of partners and the announcement is primarily for transparency rather than solicitation.
Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a public notice of NPS intent to fund one cooperative agreement, without competition, to support collaborative efforts in Maryland that improve how people connect with and experience the Chesapeake Bay's heritage through gateways and trails, while also supporting the broader federal Chesapeake Bay restoration and protection framework established under Executive Order 13508.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0133
