Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0070
The Werowocomoco Exhibit for Gloucester Visitor Center opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 19 NERO 0070) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement (CFDA 15.935) and was published on July 17, 2019, with an original closing date of July 27, 2019. The notice is explicitly not a request for applications; instead, it serves as a public announcement that the NPS intends to make a financial assistance award for a specific, pre-defined set of activities tied to an existing cooperative agreement (P17AC01337). In other words, it is an intent-to-award notice rather than an open competition where multiple applicants submit proposals.
The purpose of the project is to develop a set of exhibits for the Gloucester Visitor Center that interpret Captain John Smith's exploration of the region and his interactions at Werowocomoco, a key site associated with early English-Indigenous contact in Virginia. A central aim is to broaden and deepen public understanding of Virginia's Indigenous peoples, emphasizing both their critical role in the survival of the early colony and their continued presence as living, contemporary communities, rather than presenting them only as figures from the distant past. The exhibits are meant to support visitor learning in a way that is historically grounded and inclusive, helping audiences connect exploration narratives to the Indigenous histories and perspectives that shaped, and continue to shape, the region.
The exhibit work is designed to meet two interpretive needs at once. First, it addresses a temporary or near-term gap in interpretation while Werowocomoco is closed, ensuring visitors still have a meaningful way to engage with the site's significance even when direct access is unavailable. Second, it is intended to serve longer-term goals for regional orientation and interpretation, supporting public understanding of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail and related Werowocomoco resources over time. This dual focus suggests the exhibit package is meant to be both an interim substitute for on-site visitation and a durable interpretive asset for the visitor center moving forward.
The funding details indicate a single expected award with an award ceiling of $60,000. Eligibility is listed as county governments, which aligns with the visitor center context and points to local government as the intended partner. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, the project would typically involve substantial involvement by NPS staff in coordinating, guiding, or collaborating on deliverables, rather than functioning as a simple pass-through grant with minimal federal engagement. Overall, the opportunity supports public education and interpretation by enhancing visitor center exhibits that connect early Chesapeake exploration history with Indigenous experiences, contributions, and ongoing community life, while also strengthening orientation to related national historic trail resources.Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0070
