Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00714
Denali 100: Stories of the People (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00714) is a National Park Service (Department of the Interior) discretionary cooperative agreement focused on documenting and preserving personal narratives connected to Denali National Park and Preserve during the park's centennial commemoration (1917-2017). The project is designed as an oral history effort that highlights lived experiences, memories, and reflections that help explain why Denali matters to the people who have worked in the park, helped steward it, or been shaped by time spent there. Its core intent is educational and humanities-based, aligning with CFDA 15.946, and it emphasizes cultural and historical interpretation through first-person storytelling rather than traditional written reporting.
The agreement specifically proposes a partnership with StoryCorps to carry out onsite recording sessions at Denali. These recordings are planned as conversations between two or three participants at a time, with a strong emphasis on current and former National Park Service employees sharing firsthand accounts of their connection to the park. The interviews are meant to capture both the everyday texture of working at or visiting Denali and memorable moments that mark the park's history and community life. Examples noted in the opportunity include recordings that might coincide with significant milestones or events, such as a naturalization ceremony, a visit by a dignitary, or other special occasions, as well as quieter, personal moments like witnessing Denali's landscape and wildlife in a way that becomes a lasting memory. Collectively, the interviews are intended to illustrate the park's uniqueness and importance through human stories that make its history accessible and meaningful to broader audiences.
From an administrative standpoint, this notice is not an open competition. Although the eligible applicant category lists 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), the National Park Service issued the posting as a notice of intent to award, stating that applications will not be accepted from any entity other than StoryCorps. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project beyond simply providing funds, consistent with a collaborative oral history initiative tied to an official centennial celebration.
The anticipated award structure is straightforward: a single expected award with an award ceiling of $45,000. The opportunity was created on August 22, 2017, and it supports one project aimed at producing a set of curated, high-quality oral histories recorded onsite at Denali. The overall outcome is a preserved collection of voices and experiences that can strengthen public understanding of Denali's heritage, highlight motivations for public service and visitation, and document the human dimension of a nationally significant landscape at a key anniversary moment.Apply for P17AS00714
