Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00610
The grant opportunity titled "Sharing of Best Practices in Preservation at PastForward National Preservation Conference" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00610) is a National Park Service effort, under the U.S. Department of the Interior, focused on strengthening the skills of people working in historic preservation by bringing more advanced technology into day-to-day preservation practice. The Cultural Resources Program at the National Park Service (based in Washington, DC) partnered with the National Trust for Historic Preservation to deliver hands-on educational programming and professional skill-building sessions tied directly to the PastForward National Preservation Conference.
At its core, the project is about helping preservation professionals and emerging practitioners learn how to use leading-edge tools and methods to better document, evaluate, and protect historic places. The planned training topics include Geographic Information Systems (GIS), online surveying and data-collection techniques, virtual reality applications, laser scanning, 3D modeling, and newer developments in building materials and building systems. These are the kinds of tools increasingly used to map resources, create accurate digital records, support restoration planning, and communicate preservation needs to decision-makers and the public, especially when places are threatened by development, disasters, or long-term deterioration.
The funded activities were designed to take place in Chicago, Illinois, during November 14 to 17, 2017, as part of the PastForward National Preservation Conference. PastForward is a large annual event that typically draws about 1,500 to 2,000 attendees from across the United States. Its audience spans a wide range of preservation-related fields, including architecture, landscape architecture, planning, history, and cultural resource management. Attendees come from all levels of government (federal, state, tribal, and local) as well as nonprofit organizations and private-sector firms, which helps ensure that the practices shared at the conference can spread across many different types of preservation work.
A major feature of this agreement is support for educational scholarships for 20 individuals to attend and participate in the training. The scholarships are specifically aimed at students and young professionals from diverse or underrepresented backgrounds in historic preservation, reflecting an emphasis not only on technical capacity-building but also on broadening participation in the field. By reducing financial barriers to conference attendance and specialized training, the program is intended to help develop a stronger, more inclusive pipeline of preservation professionals who are comfortable working with modern documentation and analysis technologies.
The opportunity was issued as a discretionary funding action using an "Other" funding instrument type, and it was structured as a notice of intent to partner rather than an open competition. That means no applications were accepted; instead, the National Park Service indicated it would work with the National Trust for Historic Preservation under an existing cooperative agreement (P14AC00754). The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $50,110 and one expected award.
Finally, the grant emphasizes public-facing impact beyond the conference itself. The information, training outcomes, and related services developed through the agreement were expected to be shared broadly through published conference proceedings and social media. This public dissemination component is meant to extend the value of the funded work to a wider audience, increasing general awareness and support for conserving and preserving the nation’s cultural and historic heritage, while also encouraging the adoption of practical, technology-driven approaches across the preservation community.Apply for P17AS00610
