Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00519
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Stabilize and Repair Deteriorated Wood and Adobe Components of Enlisted Men's Barracks" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00519). The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would be expected to work in close coordination with the National Park Service rather than carrying out the project entirely independently. The funding activity falls under the Natural Resources category and is listed under CFDA 15.945. The opportunity was created on August 15, 2019, and originally closed on August 25, 2019. The program anticipated making a single award, with a maximum funding amount (award ceiling) of $67,513.
The central purpose of the project is both preservation-focused and training-focused. The National Park Service is using a real historic stabilization and repair effort as a structured learning environment where students, volunteers, and/or interns can work side-by-side with experienced historic preservation professionals. The intent is to build practical skills while also strengthening participants' understanding of historic preservation philosophy, including how preservation decisions are made, how historic materials are evaluated, and why particular repair methods are chosen over others. In other words, it is designed to produce tangible improvements to a historic structure while simultaneously developing the next generation of preservation practitioners through supervised, hands-on work.
The on-the-ground work centers on the remains of the historic Enlisted Men's Barracks at Fort Davis, an Indian War-era site. Participants are expected to learn how to assess the condition of adobe and wood-frame elements and then apply that assessment to real repairs. The scope includes manufacturing and installing new adobe bricks to address deteriorated or collapsed adobe walls, rebuilding missing wall sections where material has been lost, and performing carpentry tasks aimed at repairing and stabilizing wood-frame construction. The emphasis is on preservation-specific techniques appropriate to traditional adobe and wood building systems, rather than general construction training, with the outcome being both the stabilization of the resource and the transfer of specialized know-how.
Eligibility for applying is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Practically, this means a qualified preservation nonprofit or similar organization would serve as the applicant and partner, organizing the educational component (students, volunteers, interns) and coordinating with the National Park Service to carry out the preservation work in a way that meets professional standards and the site's historic resource needs. The expected end result is twofold: improved physical condition and stability of the barracks' remaining adobe and wood components, and a cohort of participants who leave with a clearer understanding of preservation principles and direct experience executing authentic preservation repairs on a nationally significant historic site.Apply for P19AS00519
