Opportunity Information: Apply for P20AS00050
This grant opportunity, titled "Documentation and Public Education Regarding Dena'ina Cultural Values Relating to Lands and Resources in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve" (Funding Opportunity Number P20AS00050), is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. It was created on March 31, 2020, with an original closing date of April 7, 2020. The funding falls under the Humanities activity category (noted as Cultural Affairs in CFDA) and is associated with CFDA number 15.945. The notice is explicitly a notice of intent to award, meaning it is not an open competition and no applications will be accepted from other organizations.
The core purpose of the agreement is to support Lake Clark National Park and Preserve (LACL) in working in partnership with Portland State University (PSU) to document and translate into publishable public education materials the key traditional values of the Dena'ina people as those values relate to lands and resources within the park and preserve. In practical terms, this centers on capturing and communicating the cultural values that shape Dena'ina uses of particular places and resources, how those places and resources are perceived and understood through a Dena'ina cultural lens, and how those values inform management preferences for lands and resources that are culturally and historically significant within LACL. The deliverable emphasis is on documentation and the development of materials suitable for public education, suggesting outputs such as written publications or other educational products that can be shared with broader audiences.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project. While the summary does not spell out roles in detail, the cooperative agreement format typically reflects ongoing coordination, shared input on project direction, and collaboration between LACL and the recipient institution to ensure the work meets program goals and is appropriate for the sensitive cultural context.
Eligibility is limited by design. Although the eligible applicant category is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the announcement makes clear that this specific award is intended solely for Portland State University. The expected number of awards is one, and the maximum funding amount (award ceiling) is $240,000. In short, the government is signaling a planned, single-recipient partnership with PSU to produce culturally grounded documentation and public-facing educational materials focused on Dena'ina cultural values connected to the lands and resources of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve.Apply for P20AS00050
