Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Historic Resource Study Examine Borderlands and Conflict at Saratoga" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00111) is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to fund a single project that will produce a publishable-quality Historic Resource Study (HRS) for Saratoga National Historical Park (Saratoga NHP). With an estimated total funding amount of $95,000 and an award ceiling of $95,000 (award floor listed as $1), the opportunity supports research in the Cultural Resources Management program area (CFDA 15.946) and is categorized under Education in the funding activity classification. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching funds.
The central purpose of the project is to conduct substantial new historical research that reflects more recent scholarship on northeastern borderlands, including themes of settlement, contestation, and conflict. Rather than focusing narrowly on the well-known Battles of Saratoga in 1777, the study is explicitly designed to deepen NPS understanding of Saratoga's longer and more complex history, with particular attention to the period before 1777. A key goal is to use a borderlands lens to re-situate Saratoga within a broader regional and transnational context, examining how shifting imperial boundaries, contested sovereignty, migration and settlement patterns, and intercultural relationships shaped the area over time. The project also emphasizes identifying and integrating "new stories and voices," which signals an intent to move beyond traditional, battle-centered narratives and incorporate perspectives that may have been underrepresented in earlier interpretations, potentially including Native nations, settlers, military communities, and others connected to the region's contested landscape.
Methodologically, the study is expected to go beyond a standard literature review. While it will build on an existing historiographical essay prepared for the park in 2011, the new work is intended to be grounded in expanded archival research. Specifically, it calls for using archival collections held in repositories in both the United States and Canada, reflecting the cross-border nature of northeastern borderlands history and the likelihood that relevant primary sources are dispersed across multiple national and institutional collections. The end product is not merely an internal report but a manuscript of publishable quality, implying a high standard of evidence, narrative coherence, and scholarly documentation suitable for broader dissemination and long-term use by the NPS and researchers.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on July 1, 2013, and archived on July 12, 2013. The closing date is listed as "Notification of Intent to Award" and clearly states that no applications will be accepted, indicating it was not an open competition at the time of posting, but rather a funding action tied to an anticipated or pre-selected recipient under a cooperative agreement framework. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education.
