Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0194

The funding opportunity titled "NERO GIS R & D" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 18 NERO 0194) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. It is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA Number 15.945. The listing indicates an award ceiling of $106,920 and was created on 2018-09-04, with an original closing date of 2018-09-13. The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," though the notice itself does not provide additional detail in the provided text about specific eligibility requirements or project partner types.

The most important point in the description is procedural: this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notice that the National Park Service intends to award financial assistance for certain project activities related to "NERO GIS R & D." In practice, notices like this are commonly used when an agency plans to make an award through a specific mechanism (often a continuation action, a directed/limited-competition award, or a partner-specific arrangement) and is publishing the notice to meet transparency and public notification requirements rather than to solicit competitive proposals from the general public.

Because the description repeats the same statement and does not include additional narrative, the announcement does not provide substantive detail about the technical scope, work plan, required deliverables, period of performance, or evaluation criteria. The title suggests the work is related to GIS (Geographic Information Systems) research and development in the National Park Service context, and "NERO" typically refers to the Northeast Region of the NPS, implying regionally focused GIS or spatial data research, development, or support activities. However, the provided text does not spell out the objectives, methods, or specific park units involved, so any deeper interpretation would be speculative beyond what is explicitly stated.

In short, "NERO GIS R & D" is best understood as an informational posting about NPS intent to issue a cooperative agreement for GIS-related research and development activities, with a maximum indicated funding level of $106,920, rather than an open call for proposals. Anyone looking to engage with this opportunity would generally need to consult the full official posting (or contact the listed NPS program or grants office, if available in the complete record) to understand the planned recipient, the nature of the work, and whether any form of competition or partnership opportunity exists despite the non-solicitation language.
