Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00586
This grant notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement supporting archaeology-related work at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. It is not an open funding opportunity and not a request for applications; instead, it serves as formal public notice that NPS intends to make an award to a specific partner under an existing cooperative framework.
The opportunity is titled "Public Archaeology Field School Analysis, Archaeological Overview and Assessment, and Archaeology Outreach at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00586). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The award is being made through the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) mechanism, specifically Cooperative Agreement P17AC01232, with Portland State University identified as the intended recipient. The listed eligible applicant type is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the selection of a public university partner.
The project scope, as reflected in the title, centers on three connected activities: (1) analysis associated with a public archaeology field school, (2) an archaeological overview and assessment for the site, and (3) archaeology outreach. In practical terms, this suggests a package of work that combines educational field training (often involving students participating in supervised archaeological work), post-field or laboratory analysis and interpretation of collected data or materials, broader assessment of archaeological resources at Fort Vancouver (such as synthesizing known site information, evaluating site conditions, and identifying research or management needs), and public-facing outreach intended to share findings and engage the community. Because Fort Vancouver is a nationally significant historic site, outreach likely supports NPS goals of public interpretation, stewardship, and education alongside technical cultural resource management.
Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $98,532 and an expectation of one award, reinforcing that this is a targeted, single-recipient action rather than a competitive grant round. The announcement is categorized as discretionary funding and uses an "Other" activity category (with further clarification implied elsewhere in the original listing). The CFDA number is 15.945, which corresponds to NPS assistance programs.
Key administrative details include the issuing agency (U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service) and the creation date of July 31, 2017. The "closing date" field is effectively not applicable because the notice does not solicit proposals. Overall, the document functions as a transparency step: it informs the public that NPS plans to fund Portland State University, via the Pacific Northwest CESU, to carry out archaeology analysis, site assessment, and outreach activities at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site under a cooperative agreement structure.Apply for P17AS00586
