Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0024
The Maine Acadian Culture Project grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0024) is a discretionary funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It is categorized under the Humanities, aligned with Cultural Affairs (CFDA 15.954), and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The notice was created on March 20, 2017, with an original closing date listed as March 29, 2017, and it anticipates making a single award with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $75,600.
What makes this notice unusual is that it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service intends to award a task agreement under a master cooperative agreement that was either previously competed or justified as a single-source arrangement. In practical terms, that means the recipient is not being selected through an open application process tied to this posting; the award is expected to be made through an existing cooperative agreement vehicle that has already been established and vetted under federal requirements. The eligibility field is broadly labeled as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being provided elsewhere in the full posting, which is consistent with a notice that is tied to an existing partner agreement rather than a standard competitive grant solicitation.
Overall, the announcement is best read as a transparency and compliance step rather than an invitation to apply. It signals NPS intent to fund work connected to the Maine Acadian Culture Project through a cooperative partnership mechanism, with a defined ceiling amount and a single expected award, but without opening a new competitive round for applicants.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0024
