Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00595
The Partnering for Preservation Technology 2018 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00595) is a National Park Service, Department of the Interior notice connected to preservation technology research carried out in collaboration with the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT). The core purpose is to support research and related work that advances practical tools, methods, or technologies used to preserve cultural resources. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as participating in planning, coordination, or technical direction rather than simply issuing funds with minimal ongoing engagement.
This notice is categorized as discretionary funding and is listed under the activity category "Other," reflecting that the work is specialized and tied to preservation technology rather than fitting neatly into a standard grant category. The assistance listing is associated with CFDA (now often referenced as Assistance Listing) number 15.945. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the intended recipient pool is state universities and similar public higher-ed entities.
A key point is that this posting is not an open, competitive solicitation. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent only, and it states that no applications are being accepted. The reason is that the task agreement described here is being issued under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC01125) that had already been awarded through a competitive process. In other words, this announcement functions more as a public notice that a specific award action is planned or underway under an already-competed umbrella agreement, rather than an invitation for new applicants to apply.
In terms of funding scale and expected awards, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $375,101 and anticipates a single award. This suggests a focused, single-recipient project scope for the specified research collaboration with NCPTT. The opportunity was created on August 28, 2018, and it does not provide a standard application closing date because it is not accepting applications.Apply for P18AS00595
