Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00558
The NAGPRA Educational Program (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00558) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding effort under the U.S. Department of the Interior that supports education and training connected to historic preservation and cultural resource stewardship, with a specific emphasis on the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The central goal is practical capacity-building: giving tribes, museums, and other involved parties opportunities to learn how NAGPRA works and how to comply with its requirements. By strengthening understanding of the law and related professional practices, the program is intended to improve how institutions identify, manage, and repatriate Native American human remains and cultural items in a lawful and respectful way.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects active involvement in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The project is framed broadly within the NPS mission of encouraging public and private participation in historic preservation programs and activities. It also aims to build an ethic of resource stewardship among participants, encouraging people to take responsibility for protecting cultural, historical, and related natural resources in their own communities and beyond. A notable feature is its emphasis on learning that translates into action, including hands-on or real-world experiences outside the classroom. This can include training activities, educational products, and services that help participants understand cultural resource responsibilities and improve day-to-day practices tied to heritage preservation.
A major expected outcome is wider public awareness and support for historic preservation and stewardship of the nation’s cultural and historical heritage. To get there, the program anticipates that information, tools, and educational materials developed through the project will be shared through multiple strategies, such as trainings, outreach, and other dissemination methods designed to reach varied audiences. The description also highlights motivating individual participants, including youth and students, to become involved in resource protection work, suggesting the program values workforce development and community engagement alongside compliance training.
In terms of funding and administration, the listed award ceiling is $50,000 with an expectation of one award. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.946 and categorized under Education. While eligibility is noted as "Others" with additional clarification referenced, the posting makes clear that this specific notice functioned as an intent to partner with the National Preservation Institute under an already existing cooperative agreement (P14AC01757). As a result, no applications were accepted for this announcement, indicating it was not an open competitive solicitation despite being presented in the format of a funding opportunity listing.Apply for P17AS00558
