Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0087
The Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0087) is a National Park Service notice announcing the agency's intent to make a single, non-competitive financial assistance award rather than inviting the public to apply. In other words, it is not an open grant competition or a solicitation for new proposals. Instead, it functions as a public transparency notice that the Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service (NPS), plans to support specific project activities tied to the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District and will do so without competition.
The planned award will be made as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as coordinating activities, providing technical guidance, or participating in oversight and implementation alongside the recipient. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is listed under a regional development activity category, suggesting the funded work is intended to support broader regional heritage, preservation, interpretation, tourism, or related development goals associated with the historic district.
The notice indicates an expected total of one award, with an award ceiling of $240,002. The associated CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 15.939. The opportunity was created on June 30, 2017, and shows an original closing date of July 9, 2017, which typically reflects the posting period for the public notice rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since applications are not being requested.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being in a separate text field not included in the provided source data. Practically, because this is a non-competitive intended award notice, eligibility language is often less relevant to the general public than it would be for a competitive grant, since the recipient is usually predetermined based on statutory authority, an existing relationship, a unique qualification, or a continuation or expansion of ongoing work.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0087
