Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0092
The "Expansion of LandScope Chesapeake" opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action intended to continue building out and applying the LandScope Chesapeake geospatial mapping platform. It is important to note that the notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications; instead, it serves as public notice that NPS plans to award financial assistance for specific project activities through a modification to an existing cooperative agreement. In practical terms, this means the agency is extending or adjusting an already-established partnership arrangement rather than opening a new competitive grant round.
The project centers on LandScope Chesapeake, a web-based mapping and data platform created to support collaboration across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The platform traces back to a 2012 memorandum of understanding among the National Park Service, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and NatureServe, which laid out a joint effort to develop and maintain the tool. LandScope Chesapeake is designed to bring together geospatial datasets and related content in a way that helps states, local governments, federal and state agencies, tribes, and non-governmental organizations coordinate planning and conservation work. The broader policy framework referenced in the notice is the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement, signed by the governors of six states, which emphasizes coordinated, cross-jurisdictional action to improve environmental and community outcomes throughout the watershed.
The activities supported by this award focus on continued expansion and real-world application of geospatial data layers and related information hosted on the LandScope Chesapeake platform. The intended outcomes include improving public access to information, supporting conservation of working lands, identifying and protecting wildlife habitat corridors, and helping safeguard historic resources. In other words, the funding is aimed at enhancing the platform as a shared decision-support resource, allowing partners to visualize, analyze, and communicate priorities across the region using consistent datasets and mapping tools.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, reflecting an arrangement where substantial involvement by the federal agency is typical (for example, coordination, shared technical direction, or collaboration on deliverables). The funding activity category is environment, and the CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number provided is 15.935. The opportunity is issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under funding opportunity number NPS 19 NERO 0092. The anticipated award structure is a single award (expected awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $65,000. The notice shows a creation date of August 6, 2019 and an original closing date of August 16, 2019, but given the repeated statement that this is not a solicitation, those dates function more as notice timing than an open application window.
Eligibility information is included in the posting, indicating eligible applicants as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the announcement is not inviting applications and is tied to a modification of an existing cooperative agreement, the eligibility listing is best read as contextual rather than an invitation for new applicants to compete. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a continuation investment by NPS to strengthen a multi-agency, multi-partner mapping platform that supports shared conservation and resource-management goals across the Chesapeake Bay watershed.Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0092
