The National Park Service has awarded two grants with national scopes under the Fiscal Year 2019 Battlefield Preservation Planning Grant competition, administered by the American Battlefield Protection Program (NPS ABPP). This grant program provides preservation planning assistance to Federal, State, local, and tribal governments, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations for projects focused on planning, interpreting, and protecting sites where historic battles were fought on American soil.

Information about these two projects is provided here for the awareness of any interested Indian tribes, THPOs, and SHPOs, as well as the general public, due to their national scope. Summaries from the project proposals are available as a public document open for comment.
