Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00314
The grant opportunity titled "NOTICE OF INTENT: FY2019 Sangre de Cristo NHA Implementation of Management Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00314) is a discretionary funding notice issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under CFDA 15.939. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the funded work rather than simply issuing a pass-through award and stepping back. The focus of the funding is natural resources and related heritage-area activities that advance the goals laid out in the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area (SdCNHA) management plan.
This opportunity is rooted in federal law. The Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-11), specifically Title VIII, Subtitle A, Section 8001, formally established the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area and directed the Secretary of the Interior to enter into a compact with the heritage area management entity, Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area, Inc. The underlying premise is that National Heritage Areas are nationally significant landscapes where natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources come together to tell cohesive stories about the United States. These are places where geography and human activity have shaped patterns of settlement, land use, traditions, and physical remnants of history, and Congress recognizes them for their ability to interpret and preserve those nationally important themes.
In practical terms, the award is intended to support implementation of the SdCNHA management plan through a set of activities described as administration, public outreach, and grant projects. The work must serve a public purpose consistent with Public Law 111-11, which generally implies benefits such as preservation and interpretation of resources, community engagement, education, partnership-building, and the kinds of planning and coordination tasks that keep a heritage area functioning and publicly accessible. The emphasis on "grant projects" also indicates the management entity may use the federal support to run or support sub-projects aligned with the management plan, such as local heritage preservation efforts, interpretive programming, or resource stewardship initiatives, as long as they fit within the plan and the statutory purpose.
The funding details indicate a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $332,097. The opportunity was posted on June 24, 2019, with an original closing date of July 4, 2019, reflecting a short application window typical of targeted notices where the eligible applicant pool is limited or the intended recipient is already defined through statute, compact, or established management-entity relationships. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with further clarification referenced in an additional eligibility section (not included in the excerpt), but given the authorizing law and the explicit naming of the management entity, the opportunity is clearly oriented toward the SdCNHA’s designated local coordinating organization and its partner-driven implementation role.
Overall, this notice is essentially federal support for carrying out the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area’s federally recognized mission: coordinating partners, administering heritage-area operations, engaging the public through outreach and interpretation, and advancing on-the-ground projects that preserve and communicate the region’s natural and cultural landscape in line with the officially adopted management plan.Apply for P19AS00314
