Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0132

The Susquehanna National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 19 NERO 0132) is a National Park Service notice published by the U.S. Department of the Interior to inform the public about the agency's intent to provide financial assistance for specific project activities. It is categorized as a discretionary funding action and is expected to be issued through a cooperative agreement, which usually means the National Park Service anticipates having substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out rather than simply providing a pass-through grant with minimal agency participation.

A key point is that this posting is explicitly not a request for applications. In other words, it is not an open competition and it is not inviting new proposals from the public. Instead, it functions as a public notice that the National Park Service plans to make an award for the described activities, with the listing serving transparency and documentation purposes. The opportunity indicates an expected total of one award, reinforcing that it is intended for a specific recipient or project arrangement rather than multiple competitive awards.

The activity category is listed as community development, which broadly aligns with National Heritage Area work that often includes interpretation and education, preservation of cultural and natural resources, heritage tourism, community partnerships, and related planning or program delivery. The CFDA/Assistance Listing number associated with the opportunity is 15.939, which corresponds to National Park Service financial assistance programs commonly used for heritage and related community-focused initiatives.

Eligibility is labeled as "Others," with a note to consult an additional eligibility text field for clarification; however, that extra eligibility detail is not included in the provided source data. The announcement was created on October 8, 2019, and shows an original closing date of October 18, 2019, which in this context likely reflects the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for applications, since applications are not being solicited. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which often appears in notices that are not structured as open solicitations or where the funding amount is determined through internal processes or a separate agreement rather than being competed up to a stated maximum.

Overall, this listing is best understood as an informational notice that the National Park Service intended to issue a single cooperative agreement tied to the Susquehanna National Heritage Area for community development-related project activities, rather than an open grant opportunity that outside applicants could apply to during the posting window.
