Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00189
The Cultural Resources Youth Fellowship/Internship - Biscayne National Park grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00189) is a National Park Service funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument under CFDA 15.931 (Natural Resources). The announcement was created on April 13, 2017, with an original closing date of April 14, 2017, and it anticipates a single award with an award ceiling of $50,000.
This notice is not an open call for proposals. It is specifically a notice of intent to award, meaning the National Park Service is publicly documenting its plan to fund the project through a task agreement issued under an existing Master Cooperative Agreement. Because of that structure, applications are not being accepted and the selection process is not competitive through this announcement. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility text, but in practical terms the funding is being directed through the pre-established cooperative agreement framework rather than through new applicants responding to the notice.
The project objective is to create and support a youth-focused internship or fellowship based at Biscayne National Park (BISC) that integrates directly into the park's Cultural Resource Management Program. The intern would work alongside the park archeologist and archeological technician and contribute to a wide range of cultural resources activities. The scope includes historical research to support resource interpretation and management decisions, archeological fieldwork such as surveys, and the documentation and monitoring of archeological sites to track condition, threats, and needed protections over time.
In addition to field and documentation work, the internship includes hands-on laboratory responsibilities connected to the processing and conservation of artifacts. That can include tasks typically associated with cultural resources curation workflows, such as cleaning, stabilizing, cataloging, and preparing artifacts for long-term storage and documentation, consistent with applicable NPS standards and conservation practices. A notable component of the work is an in-situ conservation project focused on two large historic iron features located on islands within the park. In-situ conservation emphasizes stabilizing and preserving resources in their original location rather than removing them, which often involves condition assessment, planning, and treatment approaches suited to outdoor marine or coastal environments where corrosion and exposure can be significant concerns.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted, cooperative-agreement-funded internship initiative intended to build capacity for Biscayne National Park's cultural resources stewardship while providing practical training and experience in archeology, cultural resource documentation, and conservation-focused support work. Since it is issued as a notice of intent to award under a master agreement, it serves primarily as a transparency notice rather than a solicitation for new proposals.Apply for P17AS00189
