Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0099
The Collaborative Implementation of Chesapeake Programs and Projects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 19 NERO 0099) is a National Park Service notice describing its intent to provide financial assistance through a cooperative agreement, not an open call for proposals. It is specifically a public notice that the National Park Service Chesapeake Office plans to continue work with the Chesapeake Conservancy under an existing master cooperative agreement (P17AC00753). Because of that structure, no applications will be accepted and the announcement is not asking the public to compete for funding.
The project focus is environmental and conservation-related work connected to two major regional efforts: Chesapeake Bay Gateways and the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. The intent is to support coordinated planning and on-the-ground implementation across multiple partners, with the Conservancy working alongside NPS and other stakeholders to move shared priorities forward. The activities described emphasize collaboration, communications, public interpretation, partnership building, and technical data stewardship, which together are meant to strengthen how Chesapeake-related sites, trails, and programs are planned, communicated, and delivered.
A major component involves facilitating coordination among the Chesapeake Conservancy, the National Park Service, and a broader network of partners to plan and implement projects supporting the Chesapeake Gateways. This includes helping align organizations around shared goals and ensuring that programs and projects across the region are connected rather than operating in isolation. In addition, the agreement supports digital and broader communications efforts, including planning and implementation for tools and platforms such as Find Your Chesapeake and Paddle the Potomac, along with related outreach designed to help the public discover Chesapeake sites, trails, and recreation opportunities and to share consistent information across channels.
The scope also includes interpretive and education-oriented programming delivered in partnership, notably through the Roving Ranger program and associated interpretive content, events, and public-facing activities. These efforts are geared toward engaging visitors and communities, improving understanding of Chesapeake Bay resources, and enhancing experiences at sites connected to the Chesapeake Bay Gateways network. Another key element is supporting the Chesapeake Conservation Partnership, which convenes and coordinates local, state, and federal agencies, tribes, and nongovernmental organizations to advance the broader Chesapeake Watershed Agreement. This reflects an emphasis on regional collaboration and shared accountability across sectors.
Finally, the work includes providing GIS data management and stewardship, indicating that the project is intended to maintain and improve the quality, accessibility, and usefulness of geospatial data that informs planning, mapping, communication tools, and conservation decision-making. From a funding perspective, the announcement lists an award ceiling of $725,427 and identifies the instrument as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.930. While it notes an eligible applicant category of 501(c)(3) nonprofits, the practical takeaway is that this specific notice is tied to an intended partner (the Chesapeake Conservancy) and is not open for competition. The posting date is August 12, 2019, and the original closing date shown (August 22, 2019) functions more like an administrative timeline for the notice rather than a deadline for submissions, since applications are not being accepted.Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0099
