Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00433
The funding opportunity titled "NOTICE OF INTENT: Revitalizing the Exhibitions of Chapin Mesa Archaeological Museum" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00433) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant set up as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is intended to be carried out with active involvement and collaboration between the federal agency and its partner rather than as a hands-off grant. Issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and posted on July 29, 2019, the opportunity centers on helping Mesa Verde National Park (MVNP) plan, design, and develop updated exhibits for the Chapin Mesa Archaeological Museum (CMAM). The stated purpose is not just a simple refresh of display materials, but a forward-looking effort aimed at positioning the museum for the next century while still protecting and respecting the museum's historic identity and institutional values. The museum is described as one of the first NPS museums, and the project is meant to preserve that legacy while ensuring it continues to function as a central interpretive hub for visitors to Mesa Verde.
The partner highlighted for this work is the University of Colorado at Boulder, and the agreement is framed as a collaborative effort between the university and NPS to deliver the planning and exhibit development support MVNP needs. In practice, that scope typically implies a mix of conceptual and technical exhibit planning tasks such as interpretive planning, content development, exhibit design concepts, and the groundwork required to guide future fabrication and installation. The emphasis on "planning, design, and development" signals that the project is intended to produce tangible exhibit direction and materials (for example, updated exhibit narratives, design packages, and visitor experience plans) that align with the museum's historical setting and mission. A key theme throughout the notice is balance: modernizing the visitor experience and interpretive approach while honoring the museum's historic character and continuing to serve as a focal point for public understanding of the park.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA number 15.945. It lists an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $185,000, indicating NPS anticipated funding one project at up to that amount rather than making multiple smaller awards. The original closing date was August 8, 2019, which reflects a short application window typical of notices that are targeted, partner-specific, or otherwise narrowly scoped. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which usually means eligibility may be limited or defined by additional criteria not reproduced in the summary data, and may be aligned with the identified collaborator relationship described in the notice.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted cooperative effort to support Mesa Verde National Park in reshaping and renewing the Chapin Mesa Archaeological Museum's exhibits with a long time horizon in mind, ensuring the museum remains relevant and effective for future visitors while preserving the qualities that make it historically significant within the National Park Service system.Apply for P19AS00433
