Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0105
The Lower Delaware River W&SR Management Plan Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0105) is a discretionary funding action by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. It is associated with environmental work and is tied to CFDA 15.962. The stated purpose is implementation activities connected to the Lower Delaware River Wild and Scenic River (W&SR) management plan, meaning the funding is intended to support on-the-ground or programmatic work that advances the goals, priorities, and actions laid out in the existing management plan for the designated river corridor.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service intends to make a financial assistance award without competition. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified a recipient (or a very limited set of recipients) and planned to proceed with a noncompetitive award, rather than opening the opportunity to the general public through a standard competitive grant process. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, collaborating on scope, participating in planning and oversight, providing technical input, or coordinating implementation with partners).
The opportunity lists eligibility broadly as "Others," with additional clarification referenced in an external eligibility text field (not included in the excerpt provided). This is common for noncompetitive notices where eligibility may be tailored to a specific partner type, previously identified organization, or an entity with a unique role in implementing a management plan. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $34,000, indicating a relatively small, targeted project or a discrete set of implementation tasks rather than a large multi-year program.
Key administrative details include a creation date of July 27, 2017 and an original closing date of August 5, 2017. Given the non-application nature of the posting, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline. Overall, the notice communicates the NPS intent to proceed with one noncompetitive cooperative agreement to support environmental management plan implementation activities for the Lower Delaware River Wild and Scenic River area.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0105
