Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00063
The Museum and Archives Cataloging, Access and Preservation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00063) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.931. The program is designed to support work connected to museum and archival collections, with a practical emphasis on cataloging, improving access, and advancing preservation or conservation-related efforts within the National Park Service context.
At its core, the purpose of the agreement is workforce development through hands-on service. The project is structured to give students and entry-level emerging professionals meaningful, real-world experience by placing interns, volunteers, or resource assistants alongside NPS professional staff. Rather than operating as a classroom-style training program, it is framed as an immersive, job-adjacent learning environment where participants can contribute to and learn from complex museum and archives conservation issues and projects. A central intended outcome is to provide young participants enough exposure to the field to help them shape long-term career goals and make informed decisions about pursuing museum collections, archives, and conservation work as a profession.
The only eligible applicants identified for this opportunity are nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. This signals that the NPS intended to partner with a qualified nonprofit capable of recruiting, managing, and supporting interns or similar early-career participants, while coordinating closely with NPS staff under the cooperative agreement model. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), the project would typically involve substantial involvement by the federal agency during implementation, meaning NPS staff would likely play an active role in guiding priorities, defining technical standards, and integrating participant work into ongoing NPS museum and archival programs.
Financially, the opportunity listed an award ceiling of $127,000 and anticipated making one award. The posting was created on March 18, 2019, with an original closing date of March 27, 2019, indicating a short application window. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted partnership to strengthen NPS museum and archives work while simultaneously building a pipeline of early-career talent through supervised, practical experience in cataloging, access, and preservation activities.Apply for P19AS00063
