Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00645
The Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00645) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior discretionary funding action that supports implementation of the Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area Management Plan. The work described centers on carrying out the plan across several core functions that typically define how a heritage area operates and delivers public value: administration and operations; marketing and visitor services; planning; resource inventory, development, and interpretation; and the administration of grants and sub-grants. In practical terms, this type of project generally aims to strengthen organizational capacity, coordinate partners, improve visitor-facing experiences, guide preservation and interpretation efforts, and provide pass-through support to local initiatives that align with the heritage area mission.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.939, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds. That involvement can include collaboration on work planning, review of deliverables, coordination on interpretive standards or messaging, and alignment with federal requirements for heritage area activities. The opportunity is categorized under the Education funding activity category, which fits with heritage area work that often emphasizes public interpretation, community history, cultural understanding, and educational outreach tied to place-based resources.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the intended recipient is a public university or similar state-controlled higher-education entity. The announcement specifies an award ceiling of $300,000 and an expectation of one award, suggesting a single project or partner will receive up to that amount to carry out the defined management plan implementation tasks.
This notice is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications, and it states that the NPS intends to fund the project without full and open competition. As a result, there is no application deadline in the typical sense and no competitive submission process associated with this announcement. It serves mainly as public notice that the agency plans to make a single cooperative agreement award for the stated purpose. The notice was created on August 10, 2017.Apply for P17AS00645
