Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00243
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) released a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Cooperative GIS Research and Support for Cultural Resource Condition" under Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00243. The award is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to be actively involved in the work alongside the recipient rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945.
The purpose of the project is to obtain cooperative technical expertise in geospatial technologies (GIS and related tools) and cultural resource management, specifically through Colorado State University (CSU). The NPS is seeking support for research and development of cultural resource data that will feed into the Intermountain Region's enterprise data management efforts. In practical terms, this centers on improving how cultural resource information is created, structured, managed, and made usable across the region, with an emphasis on data that helps assess or describe cultural resource condition.
The intended outcomes focus on strengthening the NPS Intermountain Region's ability to understand and manage cultural resources across 84 park units. By developing and improving cultural datasets and the geospatial frameworks around them, the project aims to support broader awareness of cultural resource status and needs at a regional scale. A second major goal is to better serve research communities, implying that the resulting data products should be organized and developed in ways that improve access, consistency, and usefulness for analysts, cultural resource professionals, and external researchers working with NPS cultural resource information.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the description explicitly identifies Colorado State University as the source of the needed technical expertise, indicating this is a targeted or partner-specific cooperative effort rather than a broadly competitive call. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $104,711. The announcement was created on June 7, 2019, and originally closed on June 16, 2019, reflecting a short application window consistent with a focused cooperative partnership.Apply for P19AS00243
