Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00448
This grant opportunity, titled "Notice of Intent: FY2017 Implementation of Management Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00448), is a discretionary funding action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, offered through a cooperative agreement. It supports the work of the Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area (NRGNHA), which was formally established by Congress through the National Heritage Area Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-338). That law directs the Secretary of the Interior to enter into a compact with the designated management entity, Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area, Inc., and this FY2017 task agreement is framed as an implementation step tied to that ongoing federal-heritage area relationship. The notice emphasizes that, unless specifically changed in the task agreement, the standard terms and conditions from the underlying cooperative agreement remain in effect.
The purpose of the funding is to help carry out the NRGNHA management plan by strengthening the partnerships, organizational capacity, and public-facing programming needed to preserve and interpret the region's resources. The opportunity reflects the broader National Heritage Area concept: congressionally recognized landscapes where natural, cultural, historic, and scenic assets come together to tell nationally significant stories. In this model, the emphasis is on lived landscapes shaped by geography and human activity over time, where remaining physical features and enduring traditions help convey the "national experience." In practical terms, the funding is aimed at activities that maintain and expand local and regional collaboration, build the management entity's operational stability, and support outreach and heritage programs that make the area's stories and resources accessible to the public.
The scope described for this FY2017 effort centers on six main areas: partnership development, operational support, organizational capacity building, public outreach, heritage programs, and grant projects identified in the NRGNHA management plan. The notice also ties the work to serving a public purpose under Public Law 111-11, reinforcing that the supported activities are expected to produce public benefits consistent with federal heritage and conservation objectives. The funding activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and the CFDA number is 15.939, which is associated with National Park Service assistance programs.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted June 28, 2017, with an original closing date of July 8, 2017, indicating a short application window typical of certain notice-of-intent or targeted cooperative agreement actions. The award ceiling is listed as 1 (as posted in the source data), and the number of expected awards is 1, suggesting the National Park Service anticipated a single award rather than a broad competitive pool. Eligibility is labeled as "Others," with clarification referenced in an additional eligibility text field (not included in the excerpt), but the narrative clearly identifies the congressionally designated management entity, Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area, Inc., as the partner contemplated under the establishing law and compact framework.Apply for P17AS00448
