Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0116
The "James River Public Access, Recreational & Educational Programs" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0116) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agency's intent to make a single, non-competitive financial assistance award through a cooperative agreement. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the public should not treat it like an open competition. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that the NPS plans to fund specific project activities under an existing, ongoing partnership framework.
The award is designed to support collaboration between NPS Chesapeake and the James River Association (JRA) to connect more people to the natural and cultural heritage of the James River and the broader Chesapeake region. The work is framed around advancing major regional restoration and stewardship commitments, including the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement, Executive Order 13508 for Chesapeake Bay Watershed Protection and Restoration, and the Chesapeake Bay Initiative Act of 1998. In practical terms, the intent is to expand and strengthen public-facing opportunities along the James River in Virginia, especially programs that blend education, recreation, and hands-on stewardship.
A key feature of the arrangement is that it functions as a master agreement that supports multiple activities over time rather than one single defined project. While the cooperative agreement sets the overall partnership and purpose, individual projects will be authorized separately through NPS task agreements. Each task agreement will include its own statement of work and budget, developed jointly by the NPS and the recipient. This structure signals continued coordination and shared responsibilities between the parties, which is typical of cooperative agreements where the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in planning, execution, or oversight of the supported activities.
From the published source data, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under the education activity category, with CFDA (now commonly referenced under Assistance Listings) number 15.930. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), though the notice indicates the award is intended to be made without competition due to the recognized ongoing partnership. The posting lists an expected number of awards as one, and the award ceiling is shown as 0, which often indicates the amount is not specified in the announcement because funding details may be determined later through the task agreements or internal budgeting processes. The notice was created on August 5, 2018, with an original closing date of August 14, 2018, reflecting the administrative window for the public notice rather than an application deadline for competing applicants.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0116
