Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00539
The grant opportunity titled "NCPE interns at National Capital Regional Office Mod #2" is a National Park Service (NPS) notice about issuing a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement with the National Council for Preservation Education (NCPE). Rather than opening a new competition, NPS is using Cooperative Agreement Number P17AC00225, which had already been competed previously, to support student internship placements that provide hands-on training in historic preservation and closely related fields. The overall purpose is educational and workforce-development focused: it is meant to give qualified undergraduate and graduate students structured, short-term project experience so they can learn how historic and cultural resources are preserved and managed at the federal level while contributing tangible work products to NPS programs.
This action falls under a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is tied to CFDA number 15.946. The eligible applicant type listed is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with NCPE's role as the partner organization administering internship placements and coordinating with NPS. The announcement date was August 16, 2018, with an original closing date of August 26, 2018, but the key point is that the posting explicitly states it is not a request for applications. It functions as a public notification that NPS expects to make one award under the already-established partnership with NCPE.
The planned work centers on typical 400-hour NCPE student internships supporting cultural resource management needs in the National Capital Region. Interns may be placed across multiple NPS program areas, including the Cultural Landscapes Program, History Program, Museum Program, National Historic Landmark Program, Archeology Program, and Historic Structures Program. The duties described reflect practical preservation and resource stewardship work: interns may assist with archeological, architectural, or landscape surveys; conduct historical research and produce resource documentation; support technical writing and publication development; help with artifact and archival records cataloging; participate in conservation and collections management activities; build or maintain databases and web pages; and contribute to hands-on condition assessments and minor repairs for historic structures. In short, the internships are designed to strengthen both student professional skills and NPS capacity to document, protect, and manage significant historic and cultural assets.
Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $83,028 and anticipates a single award. Because it is structured as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, the terms and conditions of the parent agreement generally apply unless specifically modified for this task. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted funding action to continue or expand an established NPS-NCPE internship pipeline for preservation training and federal cultural resource project support within the National Capital Regional Office context.Apply for P18AS00539
