Park Cultural Landscapes Program Multiple Media Intern | P19AS00575

Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00575

The Park Cultural Landscapes Program Multiple Media Intern opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00575) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior, structured as a cooperative agreement and categorized under education (CFDA 15.931). The effort is designed to strengthen how the National Park Service shares knowledge about historic structures and cultural landscapes by using multiple media channels, with a clear emphasis on making preservation information easier to find, easier to understand, and more useful to both internal staff and the public.

At its core, the project focuses on three connected outcomes. First, it aims to expand the presence of historic structures and cultural landscapes content across NPS public-facing websites, internal intranet platforms, and social media. The intent is not just to post more material, but to better engage diverse audiences in conservation by presenting cultural landscape and historic structure information in formats and venues where different communities already spend time and seek information. This can include improving web pages, building or refreshing digital features, and using social platforms to translate technical preservation work into stories, visuals, and updates that are accessible and compelling.

Second, the opportunity targets improved access to technical and scientific information locked inside archival documents related to historic structures and cultural landscapes. Many preservation decisions rely on past studies, reports, drawings, treatment recommendations, and other documentation that can be hard to locate or navigate. This project emphasizes expanding public and employee access to that body of knowledge, which typically involves identifying key archival materials, organizing or describing them more clearly, and helping move them into formats or repositories where they can actually be used in day-to-day stewardship, planning, compliance, and interpretation.

Third, it seeks to increase the availability of training materials on structures and landscapes through the Common Learning Portal, which is the NPS platform for employee learning and professional development. The goal is to support employees and the broader preservation community with practical training content that can be used consistently across parks and programs. In practice, this kind of work often includes converting existing guidance into course-ready formats, improving discoverability of resources, and ensuring that learning materials align with current preservation standards and the needs of staff who manage cultural landscapes and historic built environments.

Although the eligibility listing references 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education) and other eligible entities as described in the full eligibility section, the announcement states that this is a notice of intent to award to Conservation Legacy under an existing cooperative agreement, and that applications will not be accepted. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $78,735. The opportunity was created on August 22, 2019, and functions more as a formal public notice documenting the government’s intent to fund a specific partner for this intern-focused, media-and-access expansion effort rather than an open competition for new applicants.
