Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0105
The "WARO Organization, Interpretation, Education and Outreach" notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement letting the public know the agency intends to make a single task agreement award under an existing master cooperative agreement. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning there is no open competition for new proposals under this posting. Instead, the work is being issued through a previously competed or otherwise justified single-source cooperative agreement already in place with the National Washington Rochambeau Revolutionary Route Association, Inc. (W3R-US).
The effort supports the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail (often referred to as the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route NHT, or WARO). The purpose is to carry out priority actions tied to interpretation, education, signage, communications, and the conservation and protection of landscapes, resources, and artifacts associated with the trail. In practical terms, the project is about improving how the trail is planned, presented, and understood by the public, while also strengthening stewardship of the historic resources along the route.
Under Cooperative Agreement P13AC00931, W3R-US is expected to help NPS plan, develop, and implement components of the trail's Long Range Interpretive Plan. That includes conducting or supporting research needed for interpretive planning, advancing a route-wide signage program grounded in prior research and mapping, and helping convert planning work into on-the-ground products and public-facing programs. A major focus is building interpretation and educational programming in partnership with school districts, veterans groups, and state and local governments, which suggests a mix of classroom-related materials, public programs, and community engagement activities that connect audiences to the Revolutionary War history and the route's significance.
The scope also includes producing tangible interpretive and educational products. W3R-US will develop and produce interpretive exhibits, educational publications, and other media and programs that explain and contextualize WARO resources. In addition, the organization will provide technical support to NPS for planning, education, outreach, and research activities specifically tied to implementing the Long Range Interpretive Plan. Administrative and coordination responsibilities are included as well: organizing and facilitating WARO-related meetings, promoting the trail mission through the development of WARO's website, and offering technical assistance and recommendations to NPS and to partners such as municipalities, counties, states, and other nongovernmental organizations in trail states, particularly to help develop outdoor recreation resources connected to the trail.
From an administrative standpoint, the posting is categorized as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, aligned with an education activity category and listed under CFDA number 15.935. The only eligible applicant category shown is 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations other than institutions of higher education, but because this is not an open solicitation, that eligibility language is essentially descriptive rather than an invitation for new applicants. The agency is the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. The opportunity number is NPS 18 NERO 0105. The anticipated award amount has a ceiling of $49,037, with one expected award. The notice was created on August 22, 2018, and shows an original closing date of August 31, 2018, which in this context functions more like an administrative timeline for the public notice rather than a deadline for submitting applications.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0105
