Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0016

The Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 19 NERO 0016) is a National Park Service notice describing the agency's intent to issue a single cooperative agreement tied to regional development work within the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor. It is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications; instead, it functions as a public transparency notice that the National Park Service plans to provide financial assistance for specific project activities under this corridor initiative. In practical terms, the notice is letting the public know that the award is planned rather than inviting new proposals for competitive consideration.

The award is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work compared to a standard grant. The activity category is listed as regional development, and the funding is associated with CFDA number 15.939 (a National Park Service financial assistance listing). The issuing agency is the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service.

In terms of funding scale and structure, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $99,500 and anticipates exactly one award. The posting was created on April 17, 2019, with an original closing date of April 26, 2019. Because the announcement is not requesting applications, the closing date is best understood as the end of the public notice window rather than a deadline for applicant submissions.

Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others" with a reference to additional eligibility details in a separate text field (not included in the excerpt provided). This kind of eligibility label commonly signals that the intended recipient may be a specific partner organization, a corridor management entity, or another non-standard applicant type defined in the full announcement. Overall, the key takeaway is that this notice documents the National Park Service's plan to make a single cooperative agreement award up to $99,500 for Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor-related project activities, and it is not an opportunity the general public can apply to through a competitive process.
