Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00679
The grant opportunity titled "Special History Study on Kingsley Plantation Slave Inhabitants" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00679) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to be actively involved in shaping the work as it proceeds, rather than simply issuing a one-time award and receiving a final product. The funding activity category is listed as Education, reflecting the project’s purpose of improving historical understanding and interpretive capacity for a major park unit and its associated cultural resources. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.946.
The core objective of the project is to produce a Special History Study for Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve (TIMU) focused specifically on the enslaved people who lived on Fort George Island and on their descendants. Fort George Island is the location of Kingsley Plantation, a site where the history of slavery, plantation labor, and the broader social order of the region is central to understanding the landscape and the surviving historic resources. The intended product is a well-researched narrative history that can be used as an authoritative reference. Rather than being written only for academic audiences, the study is meant to support practical park needs, including resource management decisions, planning, interpretive programming, and the work of cultural resource specialists. It is also intended to be accessible and useful to members of the public who want a deeper, documented account of the people and communities tied to Kingsley Plantation.
A key feature of the project is its interpretive and contextual emphasis. The description highlights that the study will frame the region’s history and the park’s historic resources through the lens of social and labor relations between whites and persons of color. In other words, it is not simply a site chronology or an architectural history of the plantation. It is meant to foreground the lived experiences, labor systems, family and community networks, and historical conditions that shaped the enslaved population and their descendants, while also examining how power and race operated within the plantation economy and the wider regional setting. This kind of study typically helps parks present more complete narratives, correct gaps or imbalances in older interpretations, and strengthen the factual foundation for exhibits, tours, educational materials, and long-term stewardship.
In terms of funding, the award ceiling is $77,619, and the notice anticipates a single award. While general eligibility categories include certain nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and other eligible entities as noted in additional eligibility language, this particular posting is not an open competition. The original closing information states that it is not a request for applications, but instead a notice of intent to make a restricted award to the Organization of American Historians. The opportunity was created on August 17, 2017, and it functions primarily as formal public documentation of the government’s intent to fund this specific project through a designated recipient.Apply for P17AS00679
