Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0019
The Fort McHenry Paddle Project: Providing Access to the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail is a National Park Service (NPS) financial assistance award that was publicly announced to notify the public of NPS intent to fund a specific set of project activities, rather than to invite open competition. In other words, it is not a typical grant solicitation where multiple organizations are asked to submit proposals. Instead, the notice serves as a transparency measure indicating that NPS plans to make an award tied to defined activities connected to education and public access related to Fort McHenry and the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award and will be issued through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out. Cooperative agreements are often used when the federal agency anticipates collaboration in planning, implementation, or oversight, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The activity category is identified as education, signaling that the funded work is intended to support learning experiences, interpretation, outreach, or other educational components associated with the trail and the Fort McHenry area.
Basic administrative details show the opportunity title as "Fort McHenry Paddle Project: Providing Access to the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail" with the funding opportunity number NPS 18 NERO 0019. The agency is the National Park Service, and the CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 15.931, which corresponds to NPS financial assistance programs. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," a broad label that often captures entities outside the standard government categories, such as certain nonprofits, partners, or other organizations that work with NPS depending on the specific agreement and project context.
In terms of funding size and timing, the announcement lists an award ceiling of $44,999, which indicates the maximum expected amount for the assistance award under this notice. The posting dates suggest it was created on March 12, 2018, with an original closing date of March 21, 2018. Even though a closing date is provided in the record, the narrative explicitly repeats that this is not a request for applications, reinforcing that the purpose is public notice of intent to award rather than a competitive application window. The record also references expected awards, but the number is not provided in the source data shown.
Overall, this notice describes an NPS-planned cooperative agreement, capped at just under $45,000, focused on educational project activities that improve or support access to the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail through a Fort McHenry paddle-related initiative. The key takeaway is that the listing is informational and procedural, meant to document NPS intent to fund a partner effort connected to trail access and education, not to solicit new proposals from the general public.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0019
