Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00108
The FY2017 "NOTICE OF INTENT: Implementation of Management Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00108) is a National Park Service (Department of the Interior) discretionary funding opportunity issued as a cooperative agreement to support work in the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area (YCNHA). This opportunity is grounded in federal law, specifically the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-319), later amended by Public Law 109-318. Those statutes formally establish the heritage area and instruct the Secretary of the Interior to work through a compact with the designated local management entity, the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area Corporation (referred to as Yuma Crossing). In practice, the funding is meant to help carry out activities already laid out in the heritage area’s approved Management Plan, with the National Park Service participating through a cooperative agreement structure rather than a standard grant.
The purpose of the award is to implement Management Plan priorities that preserve and interpret the region’s natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources. The notice frames National Heritage Areas as nationally important landscapes where human history and geography have combined to create distinctive places that reflect broader themes in the American experience. Within that context, the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area is expected to support community-based historic preservation and environmental conservation initiatives that align with the Management Plan and serve a public purpose under the enabling legislation. Beyond preservation and conservation work, the opportunity also emphasizes public outreach and programming, meaning projects that engage residents and visitors, promote understanding of local history and resources, and strengthen public connection to the heritage area.
Administratively, this opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement (Funding Instrument Type: Cooperative Agreement), which typically indicates a more hands-on federal role than a traditional grant, often involving coordination, collaboration, and shared responsibilities between the National Park Service and the recipient during implementation. The notice specifies that, unless otherwise stated, the terms and conditions of a referenced cooperative agreement (P12AC30244) apply to this FY2017 task agreement, signaling continuity with an existing federal-partner framework rather than a stand-alone, open-ended competition.
Key funding details include an award ceiling of $159,983, with one expected award. The activity category is Natural Resources and the CFDA number listed is 15.939. The posting date (creation date) is March 6, 2017, and the original closing date is March 16, 2017, indicating a short application window typical of notices that are targeted, continuation-oriented, or closely tied to a specific authorized partner entity. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with clarification referenced in an additional eligibility field, but the text and legal structure strongly suggest the intended implementing partner is the congressionally recognized management entity for the YCNHA (the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area Corporation), consistent with the statute’s direction for Interior to work through that designated organization.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as federal support to help the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area carry out its approved plan through projects that preserve historic and cultural assets, conserve environmental resources, and deliver public-facing education and outreach, all within a collaborative framework with the National Park Service and under the authorities established by the YCNHA’s enabling legislation.Apply for P17AS00108
