Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00596
The Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area Modification 12 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00596) is a discretionary federal financial assistance action administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. The assistance instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work, such as collaborating on planning, oversight, coordination, or other project-related decisions rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation. The activity category associated with the award is Education, and it is listed under CFDA 15.939, tying it to a specific federal assistance program area within the Department of the Interior framework.
This notice is specifically for operational support related to the Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area, labeled as "Modification 12." In practical terms, the "modification" language signals this is not a brand-new, openly competed grant round but rather an amendment or continuation action connected to an existing federal financial assistance relationship. The posted description is brief, but the title and framing indicate the funding is intended to support ongoing operations, capacity, or program delivery connected to the Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area mission, which generally involves preserving, interpreting, and promoting the historical, cultural, and natural resources of the Delta region through education, partnerships, and heritage-based activities.
A key point of this announcement is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award and is explicitly not a request for applications. That means there is no application window, no competitive selection process, and no expectation that new applicants submit proposals in response to the posting. Instead, the purpose of the announcement is to provide public notice that the National Park Service intends to fund a specific federal financial assistance project without full and open competition. The posting includes an "Original Closing Date" field, but it clarifies that the standard competitive process does not apply because the agency is not soliciting applications.
Eligibility, as stated, is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. While the notice does not name a specific institution in the excerpt provided, the narrow eligibility category and the non-competitive nature of the announcement strongly suggest the intended recipient is predetermined and likely already engaged in operational support work connected to the National Heritage Area. The opportunity anticipates a single award ("Expected Awards: 1"), reinforcing that this is intended to support one specific project partner rather than fund multiple organizations.
The maximum funding amount listed is $327,720 ("Award Ceiling: 327,720"). Because this is an operational support modification, the ceiling likely reflects the amount associated with this specific funding action, amendment, or budget period rather than a range of awards available to a field of applicants. The notice was created on August 28, 2018, which is the posting date for the intent to award under this modification.
In summary, P18AS00596 is a National Park Service cooperative agreement action providing up to $327,720 in operational support for the Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area under a modification to an existing assistance arrangement. It is discretionary, education-focused, expects one award, limits eligibility to public/state institutions of higher education, and is published solely to notify the public of the agency's intent to make a non-competitive award rather than to invite applications.Apply for P18AS00596
