El Camino Real del los Tejas Oral History Research Project from the Sabine River to the Angelina River, Texas | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The El Camino Real de los Tejas Oral History Research Project from the Sabine River to the Angelina River, Texas is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding opportunity focused on research and documentation tied to a historically significant travel corridor in East Texas. The project centers on El Camino Real de los Tejas, a route associated with centuries of movement, settlement, trade, and cultural exchange, and this particular effort targets the segment running from the Sabine River westward to the Angelina River. The NPS is seeking professional expertise to carry out field-based work that supports an oral history research initiative, specifically identified as Phase II, which emphasizes additional data recovery and transcription work. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help expand and complete the collection, capture, processing, and written transcription of oral history information connected to places, communities, and traditions along this corridor.

The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects an active role in the project rather than a hands-off grant relationship. While the notice does not lay out detailed scopes or deliverables beyond the brief description, the stated purpose points to on-the-ground studies and follow-on documentation tasks that typically include locating and engaging interview subjects, conducting interviews using accepted oral history methods, recovering or organizing existing recordings or field notes, and producing accurate transcripts suitable for archival use and research. The emphasis on "Phase II Additional Data Recovery and Transcription" signals that earlier work has already been completed and that this funding is intended to deepen the record, fill gaps, and bring previously gathered materials to a usable, accessible state through transcription and related processing.

Financially, the opportunity is small and tightly defined: the estimated total funding is $18,390, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $18,390, indicating the NPS anticipated making a single award at a fixed amount. The notice lists one expected award and states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving the award. The funding activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting that the work is treated as formal research and documentation rather than a general public program. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used in listings when the program does not map cleanly to a standard CFDA category in the posted system.

Eligibility is limited to private institutions of higher education, meaning the competition was intended for private colleges and universities that can supply qualified personnel and research capacity. The opportunity was posted on October 23, 2009, created on October 20, 2009, and had a very short application window, closing on October 28, 2009. It was archived on November 27, 2009, which typically indicates it is no longer open for applications and is included for recordkeeping.

For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement at the time, the contact listed was Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 404-507-5747 or by email at cherylrichardson@nps.gov.
