Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00420
The Partner Scholarships for Past Forward Conference opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00420) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior, structured as a cooperative agreement. Its purpose is to strengthen the capacity of state, tribal, and local partners connected to the NPS Cultural Resources Preservation/partnership efforts referenced in the notice, by delivering advanced educational programming tied to the PastForward conference. Rather than funding a broad set of unrelated projects, the award is focused on conference-linked training and professional development that helps partners build practical skills and knowledge they can apply to preservation work and related community investment efforts.
The core activities described center on developing and delivering high-level educational field sessions and other educational programming. NPS plans to work collaboratively with the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) to carry out three separate field sessions. These sessions are intended to build field capacity with an emphasis on how public and private partnerships can be formed and sustained, and how economic investment can be leveraged for infrastructure improvements. In other words, the training focus is not only on preservation values, but also on the financing, partnership structures, and investment strategies that often determine whether preservation and infrastructure projects can move from planning into implementation.
A second major component of the project is direct support for partner participation. The funding is intended to provide scholarships or other direct assistance that helps NPS partners attend and take part in the trainings and the PastForward conference. This is meant to reduce barriers to participation and ensure that the partners who most need the learning and networking opportunities can be present. The notice also indicates the work will help NPS develop at least one educational session specifically shaped around partner needs, suggesting an intentional effort to tailor content to the realities faced by state, tribal, and local organizations working on the ground.
From an administrative standpoint, the listing identifies the instrument as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance, such as jointly planning sessions, coordinating deliverables, or guiding program content with the recipient organization. The eligible applicant type listed is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), aligning with the involvement of preservation-focused nonprofits and conference partners. The anticipated funding level is modest and targeted: an award ceiling of $45,475 and an expected number of awards of one, indicating a single partner will be supported to execute the described scope.
Finally, this announcement functions as a Notice of Intent rather than an open competition. It states that no applications are being accepted because the task agreement is being awarded under an existing cooperative agreement (P14AC00754) that was already competed previously. The opportunity was created on July 10, 2018, and the closing language clarifies that it is not a call for new proposals, but a formal public notice tied to an already-established partnership mechanism.Apply for P18AS00420
