National Park Service- Development of a Historic Preservation Training Curriculum and Fundamentals Course for the Vanishing Treasures Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service, within the Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent for a discretionary funding opportunity focused on developing a historic preservation training curriculum and an accompanying fundamentals course for its Vanishing Treasures Program. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00621 and carries the title "National Park Service- Development of a Historic Preservation Training Curriculum and Fundamentals Course for the Vanishing Treasures Program." Because it is a Notice of Intent rather than a formal request for applications, it signals the agency's planned direction and anticipated partnership approach, but it is not, by itself, an open solicitation inviting proposals at the time of posting.

The planned funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates an active partnership model where the National Park Service expects to be substantially involved in the project as it is carried out. In practice, that often means the agency may collaborate on project design, content priorities, review of deliverables, coordination with program needs, or other ongoing engagement rather than simply issuing a grant and receiving final outputs at the end.

The primary purpose is to create structured training materials that support the Vanishing Treasures Program, which is associated with preservation of culturally significant historic resources, often in contexts where specialized conservation knowledge, sensitive treatment approaches, and consistent training standards are critical. The core deliverable implied by the title and description is a curriculum framework plus a fundamentals course, suggesting a foundational training product that can be used to build staff capacity, establish baseline competencies, and standardize introductory preservation practices aligned with program goals. While the notice does not provide additional technical specifications, the emphasis on "training curriculum" and "fundamentals course" indicates an educational package rather than a one-time workshop, potentially including course modules, lesson plans, instructional materials, and other repeatable training components.

Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the anticipated partner is a qualifying college or university entity under public control. The opportunity lists CFDA number 15.945, placing it within a specific federal assistance program category used for tracking and reporting. The activity category is labeled "Other," with a note indicating that further clarification would be found in the related explanatory field, but the available text does not expand on that classification.

In terms of funding scale and anticipated awards, the notice lists an award ceiling of $54,065 and an expectation of a single award. That suggests a relatively focused project scope, likely designed to produce a defined set of training deliverables rather than support a large multi-year implementation effort. The creation date of the notice is September 8, 2016, and there is no application closing date because this particular posting is not an application request.

Overall, this notice communicates that the National Park Service intended to support the development of standardized historic preservation training materials for the Vanishing Treasures Program through a cooperative agreement with a public institution of higher education, with a planned maximum federal contribution of $54,065 and a single partner award anticipated, while also making clear that the posting itself was informational and not yet a call for applications.
