Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00360
The FY2018 Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area (NRGNHA) Implementation of Management Plan opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00360) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement aimed at carrying out priorities already laid out in the NRGNHA management plan. The Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area 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 local management entity, Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area, Inc., which is responsible for coordinating work across the heritage area. The overarching purpose is to support a region recognized for its nationally significant blend of natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources, and for the way human settlement and activity have been shaped by the area s geography over time. In other words, the heritage area designation is about preserving and sharing a living landscape that reflects important parts of the American story, not only through preserved places but also through ongoing traditions and community identity.
This specific FY2018 action is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement through the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under CFDA 15.939, with the activity category listed as natural resources. A cooperative agreement generally indicates substantial federal involvement compared to a standard grant, so the project is expected to be carried out in coordination with NPS rather than simply funded and left entirely to the recipient. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with a maximum federal funding level (award ceiling) of $327,720. The notice was created on June 21, 2018, with an original closing date of July 1, 2018, which suggests a relatively short application window and may also imply that eligible applicants were limited or that the award was intended for a specific implementing partner tied closely to the heritage area s authorized management structure.
The work supported by this agreement centers on implementing the NRGNHA management plan through practical, on-the-ground and organizational activities. The notice highlights several core focus areas: partnership development (building and strengthening collaborations among local governments, tribes, nonprofits, land managers, cultural organizations, and community groups); operational support (helping the management entity function effectively to coordinate heritage area initiatives); organizational capacity building (improving staffing, systems, planning, and long-term ability to deliver programs); public outreach (communications, education, engagement, and visibility efforts that connect residents and visitors to the heritage area story); heritage programs (programming that interprets, preserves, and celebrates the area s resources and traditions); and grant projects identified in the management plan (pass-through or supported projects that advance plan goals and meet a public purpose). The notice also references Public Law 111-11 as part of the broader legal framework for serving a public purpose, reinforcing that funded activities must align with authorized heritage area objectives and public benefits rather than private gain.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with direction to consult the full eligibility text in the complete announcement for clarification. In practice, opportunities of this type are often designed to support the congressionally recognized management entity or closely aligned partners that can directly implement the approved management plan within the heritage area boundary. Overall, the funding is meant to help the NRGNHA move from planning to implementation by supporting the partnerships, organizational backbone, community-facing outreach, and specific heritage projects necessary to protect resources, interpret the region s nationally important stories, and sustain the landscape and traditions that define the Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area.Apply for P18AS00360
