Opportunity Information: Apply for NWO CESU 17 19
The grant opportunity titled "ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE INTENSIVE EVALUATION SUPPORT FORT DRUM, NY" (Funding Opportunity Number: NWO CESU 17 19) is a Department of Defense award administered through the Omaha District that supports advanced archaeological evaluation work on Fort Drum in New York. It is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 12.632, with one expected award and a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $86,500. The opportunity was posted on April 20, 2017, and originally closed on May 19, 2017. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the expectation that applicants fit the specific eligibility clarification referenced in the opportunity materials (typically this kind of listing is used when participation is limited to particular partner networks or categories of organizations defined outside the basic dropdown options).
The core purpose of the project is to carry out intensive evaluations of archaeological deposits that have already been identified on Fort Drum. The work is not framed as a broad, exploratory survey to find new sites from scratch, but rather as a focused effort to coordinate, perform, and fully document more detailed investigations of known deposits. The end goal of those evaluations is to determine whether each deposit has the potential to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. In practical terms, that usually means generating enough field and analytical data to assess integrity, significance, and research value under National Register criteria, and producing documentation that can be used in compliance decision-making and long-term cultural resource planning.
In addition to evaluating archaeological deposits, the project also calls for analysis of previously identified historic sites on the installation. This part emphasizes assessing each site’s information potential and how it could contribute to new knowledge, rather than treating sites only as locations to be recorded. The description highlights two research themes in particular: agricultural processing and "dispersed social center" contexts in northeastern North America. That language points to an interest in how past communities organized production and daily life across a landscape, including the kinds of sites that sit outside dense village or town cores but still functioned as meaningful hubs of work, exchange, community activity, or seasonal gathering. The intent is to connect Fort Drum’s known historic resources to wider regional questions in northeastern archaeology and history, using site-level evidence to build stronger interpretations.
Because it is a cooperative agreement, the government’s role is typically more collaborative than in a standard grant, with expectations of coordination between the recipient and the agency during planning, fieldwork, analysis, and reporting. Overall, the opportunity funds professional-level cultural resources work that moves known archaeological and historic sites from basic identification into the more rigorous evaluation stage, producing defensible National Register eligibility recommendations and research-oriented interpretations that can inform both compliance needs and broader scholarship.Apply for NWO CESU 17 19
