Required next actionMonitor the Missouri State Parks ORLP page, National Park Service NOFO, FAQ, and amendments. Consider applicant-specific work only for a clearly qualifying Missouri public or Tribal project with a credible 50% non-federal match plan; no N9+ outreach is warranted from the current program scope.
Broad Eligibility
Qualifying state agencies and local governments such as cities, counties, park districts and other special-purpose districts may apply for projects in qualifying areas; eligible Tribal or Native community-administered areas are also included under federal rules. The standard population threshold is 25,000 or more, subject to the current ORLP eligibility provisions.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 74/100. N9+ fit 0/100. QC Healthcare fit 0/100. This is a large public outdoor-recreation capital program with meaningful municipal and public-sector value, but current eligible uses do not establish a clinical technology, telehealth, remote physical-exam, RPM, or healthcare procurement pathway. Do not force N9+ into an ORLP project.
Missouri State Parks is accepting applications for the 2027 Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program, a National Park Service Land and Water Conservation Fund program administered in Missouri by the Department of Natural Resources Division of State Parks.
Eligible applicants include qualifying state agencies, local governments such as cities, counties, park districts and other special-purpose districts, and eligible Tribal or Native community-administered areas. A qualifying area generally must have an urban population of at least 25,000, while federally recognized Tribes and certain Native organizations have separate population treatment under the federal program.
Missouri states that projects may request from $300,000 to $15 million. ORLP is a 50-50 matching reimbursement program: federal ORLP funds may reimburse up to 50% of eligible project costs and applicants must provide at least 50% from eligible non-federal matching sources.
Deadline and submission
Missouri project applications must be submitted to the Division of State Parks by June 30, 2027 at 5 p.m. The official Missouri page does not publish a time zone, so none is inferred. Applications and questions are submitted to mspgrants@dnr.mo.gov; files larger than 8 MB may use an FTP process arranged with Grants Management.
Applicants should use the current National Park Service NOFO and Missouri-listed application materials, including the application checklist, budget narrative template, project narrative template, project abstract summary, project images worksheet and SF-424. Projects must satisfy ORLP and LWCF requirements, including public outdoor recreation use and long-term federal stewardship requirements.
This is a strong public-sector capital opportunity, but it does not establish a clinical technology, telehealth, remote patient monitoring or N9+ procurement pathway. N9+ direct-vendor fit is 0/100 and QC Healthcare fit is 0/100.
