Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00047
The grant opportunity titled "Archeological Survey, Monitoring, and Site Recording for Joshua Tree National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00047) is a National Park Service (NPS) project under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on supporting Joshua Tree National Park's archeology program. The work centers on archeological survey, monitoring, site recording, documentation, and reporting, with an emphasis on carrying out on-the-ground field and records-based tasks alongside NPS professional archeologists and archeological technicians. The overall purpose is twofold: to help the park meet its legal responsibilities to identify and consider cultural resources, and to provide practical training and career-development experience for young adults working as archeological technicians.
A key driver for the project is the National Historic Preservation Act, specifically the activities commonly referred to as Sections 106 and 110 (now codified at 54 U.S.C. 300101). In typical NPS practice, Section 106 work is often described as "compliance" and relates to evaluating potential effects of federal undertakings on historic properties, which frequently requires clearance surveys, impact assessments, and documentation before projects move forward. Section 110 work is often described as "inventory" and focuses on proactively identifying, documenting, and managing cultural resources across federal lands. This opportunity supports both types of work at Joshua Tree by increasing field capacity for surveys and assessments tied to compliance needs, and by conducting inventory surveys in areas of the park that have not yet been studied in detail.
The project is structured as a cooperative effort implemented through an existing cooperative agreement with GBI, which will recruit and place young adults to serve as archeological technicians. Those participants will work directly with NPS staff to conduct surveys, monitor known resources, record archeological sites, and assist with the preparation of associated documentation and reports. In practice, this can include systematic pedestrian survey in targeted areas, completing standardized site recording forms, collecting GPS and descriptive data, producing field notes and photo documentation, and supporting the organization of information needed for NPS cultural resource files and compliance reporting. The training aspect is a central feature, with the work designed to give young adults direct exposure to professional standards, field methods, and the regulatory context that shapes archeological work on federal land.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement instrument type, with an activity category of natural resources. The eligible applicant type listed is a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The posting functions as a public notice of intent to award rather than a competitive call for proposals; it explicitly states that it is not a request for applications and that the NPS will fund the described project through its existing cooperative agreement with GBI. The notice was created on June 24, 2019, and lists an award ceiling of $498,593. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.931.Apply for P19AS00047
