Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00422
The Master Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00422) is a discretionary funding action administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under CFDA 15.931 (a natural resources assistance program area). It is set up as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in planning, coordinating, or carrying out the work alongside the partner rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back.
The purpose of the agreement is to formalize a partnership between Georgetown Heritage, Inc. and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. Under this arrangement, the two parties would jointly identify, develop, and implement projects and programs that support their shared interests. While the public notice does not list specific project types, the language suggests a broad framework agreement meant to enable ongoing collaboration, potentially covering items like preservation work, interpretive or educational programming, visitor services initiatives, resource stewardship efforts, or other activities aligned with the park mission and Georgetown Heritage, Inc.'s capabilities.
This opportunity is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. The posting explicitly states it is a notice of intent to enter into a cooperative agreement with Georgetown Heritage, Inc., and that no applications will be accepted. In practical terms, that means the eligible applicant field indicating "Others" is not an invitation for new applicants; it reflects that this is a targeted agreement with a specific partner organization. The listing also indicates the expectation of a single award (Expected Awards: 1), consistent with the non-competitive, partner-specific structure.
The opportunity was created on June 22, 2017, and the original closing date field reflects the non-applicability of a standard deadline because there is no application process. Although an award ceiling is listed as 1, the notice does not provide a dollar amount in the source data shown; instead, it reinforces that the core intent is establishing the cooperative relationship to support mutually beneficial projects connected to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park and Georgetown Heritage, Inc.Apply for P17AS00422
