Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0167
The "Lower Eastside Tenement Museum Off-Site Education Initiative" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0167) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior public notice about a task agreement that has already been executed with the Lower East Side Tenement Museum under an existing cooperative agreement. It is not a solicitation and it is not inviting applications from other organizations. In other words, the notice functions mainly as a transparency and recordkeeping announcement that federal funds are being used for a defined set of educational and outreach activities with a specific partner site affiliated with the NPS.
The agreement is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.946, with an anticipated single award and an award ceiling of $150,000. Because it is tied to an existing cooperative agreement and a specific task agreement, eligibility is effectively limited to the named partner rather than open competition. The notice was created on August 28, 2018, with an original closing date of September 6, 2018, but that date should be understood as an administrative marker for the public notice posting rather than an application deadline.
The core purpose of the task agreement is to expand off-site and distance-based interpretation and education connected to the Tenement Museum, which operates in a National Historic Landmark building and is an NPS-affiliated site. The recipient is required to carry out the statement of work and the actions described in an associated workplan (referenced as Attachment B) and must follow all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and codes. This framing makes clear that the work is not informal outreach; it is a defined scope of federally supported deliverables with compliance expectations.
The main programmatic deliverable is a distance learning program aimed at K-12 students and their teachers, designed to reach up to about 30,000 schoolchildren. Alongside distance learning, the agreement also supports production of a podcast series based in the museum's National Historic Landmark setting. The podcast component is positioned not just as content creation, but as a strategy for audience development: one explicit objective is to build new and more diverse audiences for the NPS-affiliated site through that series, extending the museum's reach beyond in-person visitation and beyond traditional school programming.
Finally, the agreement establishes a coordination requirement between the museum and the National Park Service. The recipient must assign an overall liaison responsible for coordinating activities under the agreement on the museum's behalf. That liaison role is meant to ensure consistent communication, alignment with NPS expectations, and smooth execution of the workplan across partners, which is typical of cooperative agreements where collaboration and ongoing coordination are central to successful delivery.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0167
