Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00556
The grant opportunity titled "NCPE interns at the Bureau of Reclamation" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00556) is a discretionary cooperative agreement administered by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), under CFDA 15.946. It is structured as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, P17AC00225, rather than as an open, competitive funding solicitation. The notice was created on August 21, 2019, and it explicitly states that it is a Notice of Intent only, meaning no applications are being accepted because the underlying cooperative agreement was already awarded through a prior competitive process. The opportunity anticipates a single award with an estimated maximum federal amount (award ceiling) of $46,134.
The core purpose of the project is workforce development and hands-on training in historic preservation at the federal level. Through the partnership between NPS and the National Council for Preservation Education (NCPE), the agreement is designed to strengthen preservation training, education, and the sharing of preservation methods and ideas. The central goal is to provide paid, practical internship placements for qualified undergraduate and graduate students who are enrolled in historic preservation programs or closely related academic disciplines. These placements are meant to bridge academic learning and real-world federal preservation work by involving students in short-term projects that directly support the preservation and management of historic resources.
The project also advances two parallel missions. On the NPS side, it supports the agency mandate to preserve the nation’s heritage by producing tangible work products tied to the internships, such as documentation, research, interpretation support, or other preservation-related deliverables. On the NCPE side, it supports the organization’s goal of improving preservation education by creating a structured training forum that complements and strengthens students’ university studies. In other words, the internships are intended to be more than observational; they are meant to result in meaningful contributions to federal preservation efforts while giving students credible professional experience.
Operationally, the recipient organization (working under the existing cooperative agreement) is responsible for recruiting, selecting, and overseeing motivated and qualified interns. Interns are placed alongside NPS staff working in cultural resources and interpretation across a variety of park units and offices nationwide. Placement decisions are based on the interns’ academic backgrounds and skill sets as well as the needs of the host sites. The internships are designed to be substantive, aligning the interns’ day-to-day work with their area of study, and integrating them into professional workflows under close mentorship and supervision by NPS personnel. Importantly, the internships are compensated through a stipend, reinforcing that these are structured training positions with defined responsibilities rather than unpaid volunteer roles.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the original posting, but because the notice is not accepting applications, the practical implication is that the participating organization is already established under the pre-existing cooperative agreement. Overall, this opportunity functions less like a typical open grant competition and more like an implementation action that funds a specific round of paid preservation internships to deliver both educational outcomes for students and preservation support for NPS-managed cultural resources.Apply for P19AS00556
