Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00773
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) announced a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Create Multi-Platform Digital Publication to Educate Public on Tuskegee Airmen Story" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00773). The project sits in the education funding activity category (CFDA 15.931) and is designed to produce an online, multi-platform digital publication that makes the history and legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen broadly accessible to the public. The core idea is to translate historically significant content into a format that can be reached by anyone with an internet connection, while also using the project as a workforce development and training vehicle for a young adult intern.
The work is intended to be carried out in close collaboration with the NPS Southeast Region Historian within the Cultural Resources Division. The resulting publication is expected to be "deeply rooted" in multiple types of source material: the stories of individuals and communities connected to the Tuskegee Airmen, the physical resources associated with that history (such as sites, artifacts, or other tangible cultural resources), and the continuing living legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen. In practice, that framing signals an emphasis on interpretive accuracy, connection to place and material culture, and thoughtful public-facing storytelling rather than a purely general overview.
A central purpose of the project is educational and professional development. The opportunity is structured to support and stimulate work, education, and training for a young adult intern who will gain and strengthen professional and technical skills through hands-on work producing digital public history content. In addition to building a public resource, the project is meant to help the intern develop skills that are transferable to future career pathways, especially in areas such as history, interpretation, cultural resources, digital publishing, communications, and related public humanities fields.
Funding is capped at an award ceiling of $93,044, with one expected award. The eligible applicants listed include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), as well as other eligible entities as referenced in the opportunity's additional eligibility information. Importantly, the notice states it is not a request for applications; it is a notice of intent to make a restricted award. That typically means the agency is signaling a planned award to a specific partner or a limited pool of partners, rather than running an open competitive application process at the time of posting.
Overall, this opportunity combines public education and digital outreach with intern-focused training. The primary deliverable is an online publication presented in a multi-platform way, grounded in rigorous historical content and connected to both the tangible resources and enduring impact of the Tuskegee Airmen, while the primary programmatic benefit is the development of a young adult participant through real project experience alongside NPS cultural resources professionals.Apply for P17AS00773
