Opportunity Summary:
The Cultural Landscapes Media Internship (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00469) is a National Park Service project under the Department of the Interior that supports a media and communications-focused internship tied to the Park Cultural Landscapes Program (PCLP). The work centers on improving how the National Park Service documents, publishes, and shares information about historic structures and cultural landscapes, especially in ways that are accessible to the public through modern web platforms and social media. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the activity category is listed as "Other," reflecting that the primary focus is not research or construction but hands-on program support, digital content development, and public-facing interpretation.
The intern role is built around practical training through real program deliverables. A major responsibility is developing and maintaining web content inside the NPS Content Management System, including creating a dedicated website for Park Historic Structures. Alongside the website buildout, the intern is expected to strengthen access to technical cultural resource documentation by creating references for historic structures reports and for cultural landscape inventories, reports, and management plans. This work specifically includes using the NPS Data Store (IRMA) to organize and upload completed documents in a way that is appropriate for public visibility, helping ensure that key preservation and planning materials are easier for audiences to find and use.
Another central piece of the internship is coordination and leadership within an internal communications effort. The intern is expected to chair the PCLP Public Face Work Group, which involves scheduling and running meetings, clarifying goals, and keeping group projects moving forward. In addition to internal coordination, the intern helps sustain the program's public presence connected to the NPS Centennial, maintaining and refreshing content both on the new CMS-based website and across multiple social media platforms, including Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, Flickr, YouTube, and Twitter. The emphasis here is on consistent, well-managed outreach that keeps cultural landscapes visible and understandable to a wide public audience.
The internship also includes creating educational and interpretive outreach products designed for the general public and for youth engagement. The opportunity highlights several specific formats the intern may produce, such as illustrated stories, photographic tours, video portraits, and story maps, all focused on cultural landscapes and their preservation. Finally, the intern will take these educational materials and format them for online use, so they can function both as staff training resources and as public education content, aligning technical preservation work with approachable interpretation.
In terms of eligibility and funding details, the listed eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.931. The anticipated award is a single award with an award ceiling of $83,560 and an expected number of awards of one. Importantly, this announcement is not a request for applications; it is a public notice that the National Park Service intended to fund the described project activities without competition, meaning the project was slated for a noncompetitive award rather than an open application process.
