Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0072
The Nashua Wild and Scenic River Study Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0072) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It was published on June 20, 2017, with an original closing date of June 29, 2017. The funding would be provided through a cooperative agreement, and the work falls under the environment activity category. The assistance is associated with CFDA number 15.954.
The key point of this announcement is that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service intended to fund certain project activities related to the Nashua Wild and Scenic River study without competition. In other words, the NPS was signaling an intention to make a noncompetitive award rather than run an open call where multiple applicants submit proposals.
The anticipated funding level was modest and narrowly scoped: the award ceiling was set at $60,000, and NPS expected to make only one award. Eligibility is listed generally as "Others," with the implication that further clarification would be provided in an additional eligibility information field (not included in the text provided). Overall, the notice functions primarily as a transparency and compliance step for a planned sole-source style cooperative agreement supporting study-related assistance activities for the Nashua Wild and Scenic River effort.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0072
