AOA of the St. Gabriel's and Wagonseller Farm Parcels, VAFO | NPS 19 NERO 0022

Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0022

The grant opportunity titled "AOA of the St. Gabriel's and Wagonseller Farm Parcels, VAFO" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 19 NERO 0022) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that is being issued strictly as a public notice, not as an open call for proposals. In other words, the NPS is not inviting applications through this announcement. Instead, it is notifying the public that it intends to award a financial assistance agreement for specific project activities that have already been identified.

The planned award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project while it is being carried out. Cooperative agreements are commonly used when the agency anticipates collaborating with the recipient on elements such as technical direction, coordination, or oversight, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, suggesting the work is likely research-oriented, technical in nature, or focused on generating data, analyses, or documentation that supports resource management or planning. The CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number attached to this opportunity is 15.945, which is associated with NPS financial assistance programs.

The opportunity is associated with the National Park Service as the awarding agency. The listing shows an award ceiling of $56,000, which indicates the maximum federal funding amount anticipated for this specific award. The posting does not clearly state the number of expected awards (the field is present but not populated with a value), but the structure and language strongly imply a single intended award or a very limited set of awards already determined by the agency. The original closing date is given as May 28, 2019, but because the notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications, that date functions more as an administrative milestone for the notice period rather than a deadline for submitting proposals. The creation date of the notice is May 8, 2019.

Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," which can be a catch-all category in federal postings. However, in the context of a non-competitive public notice of intent to award, eligibility categories are largely informational and do not mean that organizations can apply for this funding through the posted announcement. The most important practical takeaway is that this is a notice of the NPS intention to provide financial assistance for project activities connected to the St. Gabriel's and Wagonseller Farm Parcels, VAFO, and it is not an open, competitive grant opportunity.
