architectural services, historic structure reports, preservation plans, and physical preservation to structures.
Grants are awarded through a competitive process and do not require non-Federal match.
***There are separate funding announcements for physical preservation projects and for historical research/documentation projects.
Funding announcement P17AS00578 is for physical projects only.***
