Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00404
The grant opportunity titled "Increase Public Availability of Archives" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00404) is a discretionary funding action administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s implementation rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The funding activity category is listed as Education, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which is the National Park Service program identifier used for federal assistance tracking.
This notice is not an open, competitive request for applications. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to Award under an existing Master Agreement (P17AC00671). In practical terms, that means the agency had already identified the intended recipient(s) through the master agreement framework, and the notice functions more as a formal public posting of the government’s intent to make the award than as an invitation for new applicants to apply. The posted original closing date reflects that reality by stating "Not a request for applications."
The stated purpose of the award is to "Increase Public Availability of Archives." While the listing does not provide project-level details, this type of objective typically involves improving access to archival materials for public use, which can include activities such as organizing or processing collections, digitizing historical records, enhancing cataloging and metadata, creating or improving online access portals, and supporting interpretive or educational uses of archival materials. Because the activity category is Education, the effort is likely framed around public learning and access, such as making archival resources easier for educators, researchers, students, and the general public to find and use.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, indicating that the intended work likely relates to archival materials connected to public or tribal housing programs, community history, or administrative and historical records maintained by such authorities. The listing anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of $68,317, which is the maximum amount indicated for this action.
The opportunity was created on July 19, 2019. Since it is a notice of intent under a master agreement rather than a competitive solicitation, organizations not already covered by the referenced master agreement should not expect a pathway to apply under this specific opportunity number. For entities seeking similar funding in the future, the key takeaway is that this posting reflects a targeted cooperative agreement action by the National Park Service to support a defined archival access project with a predetermined partner rather than a broadly available grant competition.Apply for P19AS00404
