Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00491
The grant opportunity titled "Interns at Alaska Regional Office, Cultural Resources and Cultural Landscapes" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00491) is a National Park Service effort under the U.S. Department of the Interior to expand hands-on training opportunities for qualified students in the cultural resources field. Structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement within the education activity category (CFDA 15.946), the project is centered on placing interns alongside federal professionals who manage, document, and protect historic and cultural resources, with a particular focus on work connected to the Alaska Regional Office.
The core purpose is workforce development through practical experience. Interns are intended to support National Park Service and other federal staff working in historic preservation and related disciplines, including archeology, history, museum management, and landscape architecture. Rather than being purely observational, the assignments are described as directed, meaning interns would contribute to real, ongoing cultural resources management and protection efforts while building professional skills in the standards and methods used by federal preservation programs.
The duties outlined cover a wide range of applied cultural resources tasks. On the fieldwork side, interns may participate in archeological, architectural, or landscape surveys, which can involve identifying and documenting sites, features, buildings, or landscape elements and recording their condition and significance. On the research and documentation side, work may include historical research, resource documentation, and technical writing, potentially contributing to reports, interpretive products, or publication development. The opportunity also emphasizes museum and collections-related work such as artifact and records cataloging, conservation support, and collections management, which typically involves organizing and describing materials to professional standards and ensuring their long-term care. In addition, interns may assist with building or maintaining databases and web pages used for managing or sharing cultural resource information, and may take part in hands-on condition assessment and repair of historic structures, exposing them to preservation maintenance concepts and practical treatment approaches.
In terms of funding details, the listed award ceiling is $54,698 with one expected award. The opportunity was created on July 12, 2017, and the closing information makes clear this was not an open, competitive announcement. It is explicitly a notice of intent to partner with the National Council for Preservation Education under an existing cooperative agreement (P17AC00225), and it states that no applications would be accepted. Eligible applicants are therefore not broadly open to the public despite the generic eligibility field, because the award was intended to be made through a pre-existing partnership mechanism rather than through a solicitation process.Apply for P17AS00491
