Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00006
The 2018 Preservation Technology and Training Grants (PTT Grants) are a competitive funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and administered through the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT), which serves as the National Park Service's innovation center for the preservation field. The program is designed to strengthen how cultural resources are preserved by supporting projects that lead to better tools, improved materials, and more effective methods for conserving historic buildings, landscapes, archaeological sites, and museum or archival collections. Rather than paying for construction or physical restoration work, the emphasis is on advancing preservation practice through research, training, and practical information products that can be used broadly by the preservation community.
Funding is available to a range of public and mission-driven organizations, including federal agencies, state governments, tribal governments, local governments, and nonprofit organizations. The grants are intended to produce outcomes that have value beyond a single site or institution, such as new or adapted technologies that can be applied elsewhere, training events that address widely shared preservation challenges, or educational and instructional resources that help practitioners do their work more effectively. The opportunity is listed under funding opportunity number P18AS00006 and is associated with CFDA number 15.923.
The program supports three main types of activities. First, it funds innovative research that either develops new technologies or adapts existing technologies for the preservation of cultural resources, with typical project budgets in the range of $25,000 to $40,000. Second, it supports specialized workshops or symposia aimed at identifying and responding to national preservation needs, typically funded at $15,000 to $25,000. Third, it funds the creation and distribution of practical, how-to style resources, including instructional videos, mobile applications, podcasts, best-practices publications, webinars, and similar products that disseminate usable preservation methods or provide better tools for day-to-day preservation work; these projects are typically funded at $5,000 to $15,000.
The maximum award amount (the award ceiling) is $40,000, and the actual amount awarded depends on the scope and scale of the proposed work. The National Park Service anticipated making about 10 awards under this 2018 cycle. The opportunity was posted on October 31, 2017, with an application deadline of January 4, 2018. A key restriction is that NCPTT does not fund "bricks and mortar" projects, meaning applicants should not propose direct construction, renovation, or physical restoration of historic properties. Instead, proposals should focus on knowledge-building, technology development, training, and dissemination efforts that improve preservation outcomes across the field.Apply for P18AS00006
