Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00534
The Southeast Archeological Center Interns grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00534) is a National Park Service initiative under the U.S. Department of the Interior designed to expand hands-on training opportunities for qualified students who are interested in cultural resources and historic preservation work. Structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement within the Education funding activity category (CFDA 15.946), the project is meant to place interns alongside Federal professionals so they can learn directly through real assignments tied to the Federal government s responsibilities for managing, documenting, and protecting cultural resources.
The core purpose of the program is workforce development in preservation related fields. Interns are expected to support National Park Service and other Federal staff working in areas such as archeology, history, museum management, and landscape architecture. The experience is practical and task driven, with interns contributing to projects that reflect day to day cultural resources management needs. The scope of work can be broad, spanning field and office activities. On the field side, interns may participate in archeological, architectural, or landscape surveys, helping identify, evaluate, and document resources. On the research and documentation side, duties can include historical research, resource documentation, technical writing, and assisting with publication development. Interns may also work with collections and archival materials through artifact and records cataloging, conservation support, and collections management activities. The opportunity also anticipates digital and data oriented work, such as building or maintaining databases and web pages used to manage or share cultural resource information. In some cases, the work may extend to preservation trades style experience, including hands on condition assessment and limited repair activities on historic structures, under professional direction.
In terms of funding and scale, the listed award ceiling is 68,475 dollars, with an expectation of a single award. The posting was created on July 25, 2017. Although the eligibility field broadly notes "Others" with reference to additional eligibility details, the notice makes clear that this was not an open competition. Instead, it is a notice of intent to partner with the National Council for Preservation Education under an existing cooperative agreement (P17AC00225), and it explicitly states that no applications will be accepted. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service planned to carry out the internship training effort through that pre existing partner relationship rather than through a new application process.Apply for P17AS00534
