Opportunity Summary:
The "Historic Preservation Technician" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00029) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement action tied to youth conservation activities (CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations). The work is based on the Blue Ridge Parkway, specifically within the Maintenance and Engineering Division, with the duty station at the Historic Preservation Workshop in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. The role is framed as a student intern position supporting NPS historic preservation staff.
This notice is not a standard, open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a public notice that NPS intended to fund project activities without competition under an existing cooperative agreement (H2495090031) with Appalachian State University. In practical terms, that means the agency had already identified the partner and the mechanism for support, and the posting served primarily to document that intent publicly rather than invite new applicants to apply.
The intern's expected duties focus on hands-on support for historic preservation operations. The announcement indicates the intern would assist preservation staff with a variety of tasks, including preservation-related duties and some support for interpretive activities and special event programs. While the notice does not list specific technical tasks, the context of a Historic Preservation Workshop typically implies assisting with the care, maintenance, documentation, and repair of historic resources and materials under staff direction, along with occasional public-facing or educational support tied to interpretation and events.
Administrative details show the instrument type as a cooperative agreement and the opportunity category as discretionary, with the activity category listed as "Other" and clarified in the text as a non-competitive intent-to-award notice. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The estimated total funding was listed as $0, but the award ceiling was $6,079 (with an award floor of $0), suggesting the intern support was expected to fall at or below that ceiling even though the listing did not present a firm total. Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education, aligning with the identified partner relationship rather than individual applicants.
Key dates for the public notice were: posted April 10, 2013; closing April 17, 2013; archived April 18, 2013. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact was Brian Straka, Financial Assistance Officer, at 865-436-1217 and brianstraka@nps.gov.
