Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00456
The grant opportunity titled "Linking Southwest Heritage through Archeology Session 6" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00456) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement focused on using archeology as an educational bridge between Southwest history and present-day career exploration for Latino youth. The project is designed around a small cohort of twelve Latino high school students and three teachers, giving them direct exposure to archeological methods as a way to better understand Hispanic contributions to the settlement, development, and culture of the American Southwest. A central goal is to place Hispanic history in a broader regional context by connecting it to both National Park Service resources and to nearby Hispanic heritage and American Indian sites.
A major component of the program is experiential learning through travel and fieldwork. Participants will visit nine different National Park units along with several additional heritage locations, allowing students to see how archeological evidence, landscapes, and historic sites are interpreted and protected. Beyond site visits, students will take part in hands-on archeological work and spend added time in six archeology laboratories at the University of Arizona. That lab exposure is intended to demystify scientific work and show students the range of technical and research-oriented tasks involved in archeology and related fields, helping them imagine themselves in STEM pathways that they may not have previously considered.
Career awareness is built into the program alongside the scientific training. Students will be introduced to employment possibilities within the National Park Service and will meet Latino staff members working in the parks, offering real-world examples of career trajectories in public service, cultural resource management, interpretation, and conservation. The opportunity emphasizes that for many of the participating students this may be their first visit to a national park, making the experience not only educational but also personally significant in terms of belonging and representation in national public lands and scientific spaces.
The program also incorporates modern data collection and communication tools. Students will use iPads to gather field data and develop project outputs, including reports and videos, reinforcing both technical skills and public-facing storytelling. The work culminates in a final project report that will be delivered to the National Park Service and the Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), ensuring the program produces documentation and deliverables beyond the student experience itself.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, indicating an expectation of substantial federal involvement or collaboration during project execution. It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category, is associated with CFDA number 15.945, and lists eligible applicants as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The posting was created on July 23, 2018, with an original closing date of August 1, 2018. The anticipated funding level includes an award ceiling of $85,000, with one expected award.Apply for P18AS00456
