Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00414
The funding opportunity titled "Student Experience in Historical Research on National Historic Trails in Kansas and Missouri" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00414) is a National Park Service program under the U.S. Department of the Interior that supports a single, specific cooperative agreement focused on giving students hands-on experience in historical research connected to nationally significant historic trails that run through Kansas and Missouri. Rather than being a broad, open competition, the posting is explicitly characterized as a "Notice of Intent to Award," which means it is not a request for applications and is typically used when the agency has already identified an intended recipient or partner and is publicly documenting the planned award.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the "Cooperative Agreement" instrument type. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as collaboration on research direction, coordination with trail or park staff, review of work products, and alignment with National Park Service interpretive or resource management needs. The activity category is listed as "Other," which usually signals that the project does not fit neatly into standard research, construction, or education categories and is better described by its specific purpose: student-centered historical research experience tied to National Historic Trails.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the intended partner would be a public college or university system. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance programs and helps potential recipients and auditors identify the broader federal assistance authority associated with the award.
In terms of scale and expectations, the award ceiling is $26,663 and the agency anticipates making one award. That budget level suggests a relatively focused project, such as supporting student researchers (for example through internships, stipends, or assistantships), faculty supervision, and the production of concrete research outputs. While the notice does not list deliverables in the provided text, projects of this type typically involve archival and primary-source research, documentation of trail-related historical themes, creation of research summaries or bibliographies, and materials that can inform National Park Service interpretation, public history content, or resource stewardship related to the National Historic Trails in the Kansas and Missouri region.
The opportunity record was created on June 21, 2017, and the "OriginalClosingDate" field reinforces that there is no application window because it is not an open solicitation. The practical takeaway is that this listing serves as a public notice describing a planned cooperative agreement award by the National Park Service to a qualifying public higher education institution to carry out a student-focused historical research effort linked to National Historic Trails in Kansas and Missouri, with a total federal funding amount capped at $26,663 and only one anticipated recipient.Apply for P17AS00414
