Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00729
The Concrete Preservation Stewardship Field School Program at Pearl Harbor is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior as a Notice of Intent to Award. In practical terms, it is not an open grant competition and not a request for applications. Instead, NPS is providing public notice that it intends to fund a specific set of project activities through a cooperative agreement, and that it plans to do so without full and open competition.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00729, created on September 25, 2018, and it is tied to Cooperative Agreement #P18AC01433. The planned recipient is the Concrete Preservation Institute, which is described as a partner under the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The project title, "Concrete Preservation Stewardship Field School Program at Pearl Harbor," indicates a training-focused, stewardship-oriented program centered on the preservation of concrete resources at Pearl Harbor, aligning with NPS responsibilities for protecting and maintaining cultural and historic assets.
From a funding and award structure standpoint, the instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, meaning NPS typically expects substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds (for example, coordination, technical input, shared oversight, or collaborative implementation). The notice lists an award ceiling of $150,000 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), which reinforces that this action is meant to support a specific partner and program rather than fund multiple competing proposals.
The activity categories associated with the opportunity are Employment, Labor and Training and Natural Resources, and the CFDA number is 15.945. These categories suggest the work is meant to combine hands-on workforce or skills development (a "field school" model) with stewardship and preservation work in a natural resources or park management context, which at Pearl Harbor can include preservation of historic structures and materials that require specialized conservation approaches.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications and is a non-competitive intent to award, the eligibility listing functions more as a classification of the type of organization the recipient falls under rather than an invitation for new applicants to apply. There is no application deadline or closing date because the NPS is not soliciting proposals through this notice; it is documenting its intent to proceed with the named cooperative agreement for the specified preservation and training project at Pearl Harbor.Apply for P18AS00729
