Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00383
The funding opportunity titled "Fellowships with the State, Tribal, Local, Plans and Grants Division" (Opportunity Number P19AS00383) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary cooperative agreement under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It was created on July 16, 2019 and is listed under the education funding activity category (CFDA 15.931). The notice is explicitly labeled as a non-competitive Notice of Intent, meaning it is informational only and no applications are being accepted under this posting.
At its core, the project is designed as a youth fellowship that creates paid, structured training opportunities for qualified graduate students who are preparing for careers in cultural resources. The fellowship targets graduate-level participants in fields tied to cultural resource stewardship, including historic preservation, archeology, history, museum management, and landscape architecture. The intent is to place a fellow alongside NPS staff in directed assignments so the participant can learn directly from federal practitioners while contributing meaningful work. The assignments emphasize real-world federal efforts to manage and protect cultural resources, as well as to support education and public outreach connected to those resources.
The fellowship objectives focus on hands-on engagement with two major NPS funding and assistance functions: the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) and broader NPS Cultural Resources grant programs. The fellow is expected to provide technical and administrative support, which generally means helping NPS staff move grant-related work forward through research, documentation, coordination, tracking, and other operational tasks that keep programs running effectively. A central learning outcome is exposure to the full grant lifecycle as administered by NPS through the HPF, so the fellow gains familiarity with how grants are developed, reviewed, awarded, managed, and monitored, and how they translate into on-the-ground results. A key emphasis is understanding impact: how these federal grants shape preservation and cultural resource outcomes in local communities.
In terms of scale and structure, the opportunity anticipates a single award with an award ceiling of $336,300 and an expected number of awards of one. Eligibility is broadly indicated as "Others" with a note to consult the opportunity's additional eligibility details (not included in the excerpt provided), which often implies a limited or specific set of eligible partner organizations rather than open competition. Overall, the opportunity describes a training-focused, workforce-development style fellowship embedded in NPS grant program operations, intended to build professional capacity in cultural resources while supporting the agency's preservation and community-impact mission.Apply for P19AS00383
