Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00221
The grant opportunity titled "Train Student Intern in fulfilling Cultural Resource Preservation Laws" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00221) was a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding opportunity offered through the Department of the Interior under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.945). It was set up as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expected to stay closely involved in guiding and supporting the work rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The opportunity was created on June 4, 2019, with an original closing date of June 13, 2019. It anticipated making a single award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $32,000, and eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education.
The core purpose of the project was workforce development and capacity-building in cultural resource compliance, with a specific focus on two intertwined areas of responsibility within the Intermountain Regional (IMR) office of the NPS: ethnographic resources and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The project centered on training and mentoring a student intern under the direction of the IMR Anthropologist, who also managed the IMR Applied Ethnography Program and the IMR NAGPRA Program. Rather than being a general internship, the work was framed as practical, applied training that supports legal and policy obligations related to cultural resource preservation and tribal consultation responsibilities.
The intern's main assignment was to conduct structured needs assessments across all 84 national parks within the NPS Intermountain Region. In practical terms, this meant gathering and organizing information from each park to identify what each site needs in order to properly manage ethnographic resources (resources connected to cultural practices, traditions, and the ongoing relationships that communities have with places) and to meet NAGPRA-related responsibilities (such as identifying, documenting, and appropriately handling certain cultural items and human remains, and supporting consultation and repatriation processes when required). The needs assessment results were intended to function as a planning tool: they would help the Applied Ethnography and NAGPRA programs decide what work to prioritize and carry out in future years based on documented gaps, risks, and operational needs across the region.
A key outcome highlighted in the description is improved resource management and stronger relationships with traditionally associated peoples connected to these parks. The opportunity explicitly ties the technical work of assessing ethnographic and NAGPRA needs to a broader aim: helping parks manage cultural resources more responsibly while also supporting meaningful, legally grounded engagement with tribes and other communities whose histories, identities, and cultural practices are tied to lands now managed by the NPS. By investing in an intern and building a region-wide picture of needs across 84 parks, the project was designed to create a foundation for more consistent compliance, better program planning, and more informed decision-making across the Intermountain Region.Apply for P19AS00221
