Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00072
The Cultural Resource Interns for Manzanar National Historic Site opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00072) is a National Park Service (Department of the Interior) discretionary funding action issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.931 in the natural resources activity category. The notice was created May 22, 2019, with an award ceiling of $48,000. It is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications; instead, it functions as a public Notice of Intent to Award funding under an existing cooperative agreement with SCA. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), reflecting that the award is tied to an established partnership rather than competitive selection.
The central purpose of the project is to place interns at Manzanar National Historic Site to build hands-on experience in cultural resources management while directly supporting preservation and interpretation work at a location recognized by Congress as nationally significant, as demonstrated by its designation as both a National Historic Landmark and a National Historic Site. The internship experience is framed as both professional development and public service: interns are expected to contribute to the documentation, preservation, and restoration of the sites cultural resources in alignment with Manzanars General Management Plan and later planning documents. The broader educational intent is to help the public understand not only the World War II mass incarceration of Japanese Americans, which is the most widely known chapter of Manzanars history, but also the earlier historical layers of the area that are also part of the sites story.
Intern duties described in the objectives cover a wide range of applied cultural resource tasks. Interns assist with public archaeology efforts, including helping organize and supervise projects that may involve mapping, excavation, and the stabilization or restoration of historic features and cultural landscapes. They also support the behind-the-scenes technical work that follows field activities, such as analyzing and processing artifacts so that materials recovered through archaeology can be properly curated, understood, and used for research or interpretation. In addition, the project includes involvement in recording oral histories, which helps preserve first-person accounts and community memory connected to Manzanar. The scope extends to stewardship of living historic resources as well, with interns assisting in the care of historic trees that contribute to the sites cultural landscape and historic character. Finally, interns help translate this work into products that can serve both management and public education needs, including preparing reports and interpretive brochures intended to preserve knowledge and make it accessible for future generations.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to develop interns as practical preservation practitioners and informed public-facing ambassadors for the National Park Service and historic preservation. It emphasizes learning through direct participation in fieldwork and resource management, collaboration with resource specialists, and engagement with the public dimensions of archaeology and interpretation, all within the context of safeguarding and communicating the nationally significant cultural resources of Manzanar.Apply for P19AS00072
