Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00249
The NCPE Interns at Joshua Tree National Park grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00249) is a National Park Service funding announcement under the U.S. Department of the Interior that was designed to expand training and hands-on professional development opportunities for qualified students. The overall purpose is educational, with interns placed in real-world settings alongside federal staff and specialists to build practical skills in cultural resources work, particularly the day-to-day responsibilities involved in protecting and managing historic and archeological resources within a national park context.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, meaning the project was intended to be carried out with substantial involvement from the National Park Service rather than as a hands-off grant. It falls under the Education activity category (CFDA 15.946) and was structured to support a single award, with an anticipated award amount up to $39,310 and one expected award.
The core of the project centers on interns supporting federal professionals in historic preservation and closely related disciplines. The announcement highlights a broad set of possible work areas, including archeology, history, museum management, and landscape architecture, all tied to federal cultural resources management and protection efforts. In practical terms, interns could be assigned directed projects that contribute to identifying, documenting, stabilizing, maintaining, and interpreting cultural resources at Joshua Tree National Park, while also learning the standards and workflows used in federal preservation programs.
The duties described cover both field-based and office-based tasks. Fieldwork may include archeological, architectural, or landscape surveys aimed at locating resources, assessing their condition, and documenting them according to professional and federal requirements. Office and research tasks may include historical research and resource documentation, along with technical writing and publication development, which can involve preparing reports, summaries, interpretive content, or other written products used for compliance, management planning, or public information. Collection-related work is also emphasized, such as artifact and records cataloging, conservation and collections management activities, and organizing materials in ways that support long-term stewardship and access. The opportunity also anticipates interns helping with database work and website or webpage creation and maintenance, reflecting the importance of digital recordkeeping and public-facing information tools in modern cultural resources programs. Finally, it includes hands-on condition assessment and repair of historic structures, which suggests supervised exposure to preservation trades, maintenance planning, and stabilization techniques consistent with historic preservation standards.
Eligibility is broadly listed as "Others," with additional clarification originally intended to be provided in a separate eligibility text field. The posting was created on May 10, 2017, and notably indicates that no applications would be accepted, meaning the opportunity is not open for submission as published and appears to have been informational, closed, or otherwise not accepting proposals at the time reflected in the source data.Apply for P17AS00249
