Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Award Preservation Technology Training (Funding Opportunity Number WASO NPS P13AC01002) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement tied to CFDA 15.923, National Center for Preservation Technology and Training. It is categorized under education and focuses on building practical skills and accessible resources in the area of preservation technology, especially as it applies to historic buildings. The opportunity was posted and created on July 26, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 5, 2013, and an archive date of September 4, 2013. The total anticipated funding is modest, estimated at $15,000, with an award ceiling of $15,000 and no required cost share or match.
This announcement is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. The eligibility note makes clear that it is an intent to award rather than a request for proposals, meaning the agency had a specific partner or arrangement in mind rather than inviting a broad pool of applicants to compete. The announcement lists eligible applicants as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in a separate eligibility field, which is consistent with intent-to-award notices where the recipient category is narrow or pre-identified. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the National Park Service expected to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as through collaboration on content, deliverables, technical direction, or coordination.
Programmatically, the work is centered on partnering with APT (Association for Preservation Technology) to develop and deliver preservation technology workshops. These workshops are meant to build capabilities in the techniques, materials, and methods used to conserve historic structures, and the emphasis on "technology" suggests a practical, applied orientation: how to evaluate historic building conditions, select appropriate treatments, and use tools or methodologies that support long-term stewardship. In addition to in-person or traditional trainings, the award also supports distance learning opportunities, indicating an intent to reach a wider audience of practitioners, site managers, architects, conservators, and other stakeholders who may not be able to attend workshops in person.
A major component of the scope is digitization and public access to technical information. The project includes scanning historic building technology materials and making them available online as part of a digital archive effort. This points to a knowledge-preservation goal alongside physical preservation: capturing hard-to-find references, legacy guidance, technical documentation, or historical construction information and placing it in an accessible online format so it can be used by the field. This kind of work typically benefits both professionals and students by reducing barriers to technical references that may otherwise be locked in paper files, out-of-print manuals, or scattered institutional collections.
The award also supports continued development of the OSCAR online sustainability tool for historic buildings. While the notice does not describe OSCAR in depth, the reference indicates that the tool is intended to help users evaluate or plan sustainability improvements in ways that are compatible with historic preservation goals. In practice, this kind of tool often focuses on balancing energy efficiency, durability, and building performance with the need to retain historic materials and character-defining features, and it can provide structured decision support, guidance, or best practices tailored to older building fabric.
Finally, the project includes an oral-history style documentation effort: capturing and disseminating interviews with pioneers and leaders in preservation technology for wide distribution. This is aimed at preserving expert knowledge that might otherwise be lost and sharing it broadly to support training, professional development, and the historical record of the preservation technology field. By combining workshops, distance learning, digital archiving, tool development, and recorded interviews, the opportunity is structured to build both immediate training capacity and long-term public resources that can be reused across the preservation community.
