Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00138
This grant opportunity, titled "Train Student Intern in Fulfilling Laws that Support American Citizens' Relationship with Park Lands" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00138), is a National Park Service (NPS) Intermountain Region effort to support a student internship focused on applied anthropology, ethnography, and compliance work connected to culturally significant resources in national parks. The project sits within the NPS Intermountain Regional (IMR) Applied Ethnography Program and the IMR Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) Program, and it is designed to build practical capacity in the region by having a mentored intern help identify what parks need in order to manage and protect ethnographic resources and address NAGPRA-related responsibilities.
The core work of the internship is a region-wide needs assessment covering all 84 national parks in the NPS Intermountain Region. Under the mentorship of the IMR Anthropologist who manages both programs, the student intern would gather and organize information from each park to determine what is needed related to ethnographic resources (such as places, practices, and cultural landscapes important to traditionally associated communities) and NAGPRA items (which can include Native American human remains and certain categories of cultural items as defined by the law). The intent is not simply to produce a report for its own sake, but to create a clear, park-by-park understanding of gaps, priorities, and support needs so that the Applied Ethnography and NAGPRA programs can plan and target their work more effectively in subsequent years.
A central theme of the opportunity is that improving information and planning around ethnographic resources and NAGPRA responsibilities directly supports resource stewardship and strengthens relationships with traditionally associated peoples. By systematically identifying what each park requires to meet legal obligations and good management practice, the internship helps the NPS better carry out duties that affect how communities maintain and express their cultural ties to park lands. In practical terms, the needs assessment is meant to guide future program activities across the region, shaping where staff time, technical assistance, consultation support, research, documentation, or coordination efforts should be focused so that cultural resources are handled appropriately and in line with federal requirements.
In terms of the funding structure, this opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement through the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under the education activity category. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number listed is 15.945, and eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the award is intended to flow through a qualifying college or university partner that would support the intern and coordinate with NPS. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $32,000, indicating a single selected institution would receive up to that amount to carry out the internship project in collaboration with NPS.
The opportunity was created on April 11, 2018, with an original closing date of April 20, 2018, reflecting a short application window typical of some targeted internship or cooperative agreement announcements. Overall, the grant is best understood as a focused, mentorship-driven internship investment that helps the NPS Intermountain Region identify needs across a large network of parks and use that information to better plan future ethnography and NAGPRA work, supporting both sound resource management and the ongoing relationships between parks and the communities historically and culturally connected to them.Apply for P18AS00138
