Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00496
The Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) National Historic Landmark Nomination opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00496) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior initiative designed to advance the identification and formal documentation of places that have national significance to Asian American and Pacific Islander history in the United States. It is tied directly to the NPS 2018 AAPI National Historic Landmark theme study, and its main purpose is to build on that foundation by moving from broad thematic research to the next practical step: preparing the documentation needed to nominate a specific property as a National Historic Landmark.
At the core of the project is continuity with earlier NPS work. The theme study released in 2018 helped establish historical contexts, interpretive frameworks, and priorities for recognizing AAPI contributions and experiences through historic places. This opportunity is positioned as a follow-up effort that helps turn that research into a concrete nomination package, strengthening the overall pipeline of potential landmark designations. It is also framed as work that can support and complement other NPS programs and regional efforts, meaning the nomination is expected to be useful beyond a single site by contributing to wider preservation and interpretation goals across the agency.
The primary objective is straightforward and product-driven: the project will produce a complete draft National Historic Landmark nomination for one property that meets the standard of national significance specifically in relation to AAPI history. In practice, a complete draft nomination typically means compiling and organizing the historical research, significance arguments, and supporting documentation that justify national-level importance, while also clearly describing the property and the features that convey its historic value. The emphasis on a "complete draft" indicates the deliverable is meant to be substantial and near-ready for formal review processes, not just preliminary research notes or an outline.
Administratively, the listing identifies the award mechanism as a cooperative agreement, which generally implies that NPS expects to have an active role in the project rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The activity category is labeled community development, reflecting the broader public purpose of recognizing and preserving heritage associated with historically underrepresented or less formally documented communities. The opportunity was created on August 13, 2019, and the posted award ceiling is $25,000, with an expectation of one award.
A key practical detail is that this posting is explicitly described as a non-competitive Notice of Intent, with no applications being accepted at the time of posting. In other words, it is not an open call for proposals; it functions more like an announcement that the agency intends to make an award under this program authority, likely to a specific partner that meets eligibility requirements described elsewhere. Eligibility is broadly listed as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility text for clarification, but the crucial takeaway is that the opportunity is not currently soliciting applications from the public.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted NPS effort to produce a high-quality draft National Historic Landmark nomination that advances recognition of an AAPI-associated property of national historical importance, using modest funding to translate the 2018 theme study into a tangible nomination deliverable that can strengthen national preservation outcomes.Apply for P19AS00496
