§305304 Preservation Grants

Summary

The Secretary must, after consulting the Board, give grants for preservation technology and training to organizations that can support the Center’s goals. The money is for research, sharing information, and teaching skills in historic preservation. Grants must be spread across different preservation fields and regions. No one recipient can get more than 10 percent of the grants in a year. Administrative costs may not be more than 25 percent of total grant costs. Eligible applicants include federal and other labs, accredited museums, colleges and universities, nonprofits, National Park System units and cooperative park study units, State Historic Preservation Offices, tribal preservation offices, and Native Hawaiian organizations. Projects are chosen using professional standards, including peer review.
