The Preservation Technology and Training (PTT) Grants are cooperative agreements administered by the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT), the National Park Service’s innovation center for the preservation community.
The 2025 PTT cooperative agreements are intended for cultural resource projects which will create better tools, better materials, and better approaches to conserving buildings, landscapes, and cultural resources. The goal of the PTT Grants is to fund projects that advance the field of preservation. Applications should be innovative in nature and on the cutting edge of preservation practice.
The project scope should showcase a new model of preservation practice and be able to be disseminated to the broadest audience and impact national, regional, and/or local preservation organizations. This funding opportunity is limited to cooperative agreements with Federal, State, local, and tribal governments, Native Hawaiian organizations, educational institutions, and other public entities in accordance with 54 U.S.C. § 305305(b).

A new Interior Department policy routes every grant and cooperative agreement of $50,000 or more through two political appointees for manual review. The result is a backlog of roughly 1,400 grants and $362 million in delayed funding — up from fewer than 10 two years ago.
