Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOIP19AC00219
The Natural Resources of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Exhibit (LECL) is a National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on expanding public understanding of the natural resources connected to the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. The project is rooted in the trail's 2019 Long-Range Interpretive Plan, which specifically calls for a theme-based traveling exhibit as a way to reach more audiences, strengthen interpretation across multiple locations, and raise overall awareness of the trail's natural resource story.
This opportunity is issued as a discretionary award and will be made through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to stay actively involved in the project as it is developed and implemented (rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement). A central feature of the announcement is that the NPS intends to make this award without competition, serving as public notice that the agency is planning a direct award for the described activities rather than running an open, competitive grant process.
The core goal is to develop a theme-based exhibit that can travel and be displayed at numerous partner sites along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. In practical terms, the exhibit is meant to function as a shared interpretive tool that different museums, visitor centers, historic sites, and other partner venues can host, helping them tell a consistent and compelling story about the trail's natural resources. The objectives emphasize collaboration with multiple partner sites to display the exhibit, increase interpretive opportunities for visitors, and improve the overall visitor experience by making these natural resource themes more visible and accessible.
Administratively, the funding opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP19AC00219 and is categorized within the Natural Resources funding activity area. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.935. The anticipated award amount is up to $120,000 (the award ceiling), with one expected award. The posting indicates it was created on May 17, 2019, with an original closing date of May 27, 2019, reflecting a short window consistent with a notice of intent to award without competition. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being provided elsewhere in the full announcement text.Apply for NPS NOIP19AC00219
