Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00450
The grant opportunity titled "Notice of Intent: FY2017 Implementation of Management Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00450) was issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement. It is centered on supporting work tied to the South Park National Heritage Area (NHA), specifically the implementation of projects and activities already laid out in that heritage area management plan. The underlying premise of the program is the National Heritage Area model: Congress recognizes certain large landscapes where natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources fit together into a coherent place that reflects nationally significant stories. These areas are valued not just for physical features like historic sites, working landscapes, and scenic resources, but also for the living traditions and community patterns that developed there over time.
In practical terms, the purpose of this FY2017 task agreement is to fund planning, administration, outreach, and demonstration projects that advance the South Park NHA management plan and provide a public benefit consistent with Public Law 111-11. While the notice does not list specific projects in the source text provided, it makes clear that funded work is meant to translate the management plan into on-the-ground action and organizational capacity. "Planning" can include refining project priorities, coordinating partners, and developing implementation strategies; "administration" generally covers the core functions needed to run the heritage area effort effectively; "outreach" points to public communication, engagement, interpretation, and partner/community involvement; and "demonstration projects" typically refer to visible, practical efforts that showcase preservation, interpretation, conservation, or community-based heritage work in a way that others can replicate or learn from.
The opportunity was categorized under "Natural Resources" (CFDA 15.939) and was structured for a single anticipated award, with an award ceiling listed as 1 (as presented in the source data). The posting was created on June 28, 2017, with an original closing date of July 8, 2017, indicating a short application window. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the expectation that additional eligibility clarifications would be provided in the full announcement text. Overall, the notice signals targeted National Park Service support for a specific heritage area implementation effort, emphasizing coordinated partnership work and public-serving projects that help the South Park NHA carry out its congressionally recognized mission.Apply for P17AS00450
