Opportunity Summary:
The 2014 Preservation Technology and Training (PTT) Grants program is a National Park Service funding opportunity administered through the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT). Its focus is on advancing historic preservation through innovation, specifically by supporting research projects that either create new preservation technologies or adapt existing technologies for better protection, treatment, documentation, and long-term care of cultural resources. This program is not intended to pay for construction or physical restoration work; it explicitly does not fund "bricks and mortar" projects. Instead, it targets the kind of applied research and development that can improve preservation practice in measurable ways, such as testing new methods, refining tools, developing protocols, or evaluating materials and techniques used in the field.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary grant under Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00270, titled "2014 Preservation Technology and Training Grants." The funding activity aligns with education, humanities/cultural affairs, and science and technology research and development, with the category explanation identified as historic preservation research. The program anticipated making about three awards, drawing from an estimated total funding pool of $100,000.

Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that nonprofit category), state governments, county and city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts.
