Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00325
The grant opportunity titled "NOTICE OF INTENT: FY2019 NRGNHA Implementation of Management Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00325) is a National Park Service, Department of the Interior funding action designed to support work laid out in the management plan for the Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area (NRGNHA). It is framed as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to be actively involved with the recipient during the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The funding activity sits in the natural resources category (CFDA 15.939), but the purpose is broader than ecology alone, focusing on the integrated stewardship of natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources that together define a nationally significant landscape.
The opportunity is rooted in federal law. Congress established the Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area through the National Heritage Area Act of 2006, Public Law 109-338, which directs the Secretary of the Interior to enter into a compact with the area’s designated management entity, Northern Rio Grande National Heritage Area, Inc. In practical terms, that legal foundation is what authorizes federal support for implementing the heritage area’s approved management plan. The description also references Public Law 111-11 as part of the public-purpose justification for the work supported under the task agreement.
Programmatically, the funding is meant to advance a set of core implementation priorities that are explicitly identified in the NRGNHA management plan. These priorities include developing and strengthening partnerships across the region, providing operational support to keep the heritage area’s core functions running, building organizational capacity (such as improving systems, skills, staffing, and long-term effectiveness), and expanding public outreach so residents and visitors better understand and engage with the area’s stories and resources. The opportunity also emphasizes heritage programs and grant projects, suggesting that part of the work may involve designing, supporting, or administering projects that interpret, preserve, or celebrate the region’s heritage through education, events, interpretation, preservation activities, or community-based initiatives.
In terms of scale and competitive landscape, this notice anticipated a single award with an award ceiling of $332,097, indicating a targeted funding action rather than a broad multi-recipient competition. The opportunity was posted June 26, 2019, with an original closing date of July 6, 2019, reflecting a short application window typical of notices that may be intended for a specific eligible entity or a narrow applicant pool. Eligibility is listed generally as "Others," with further clarification presumably contained in the full announcement, but the structure and statutory context strongly suggest the intended recipient is closely tied to the authorized management entity responsible for carrying out the NRGNHA management plan.
Overall, the grant is best understood as implementation support for an established National Heritage Area: funding to help the designated local management organization coordinate partners, deliver public-facing heritage programming, strengthen internal capacity, and carry out priority projects that preserve and interpret the Northern Rio Grande region’s combined natural and cultural landscape in ways that serve a clear public purpose and align with congressional authorization.Apply for P19AS00325
