Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOIP18AC00153
The "Ethnobotany at Pea Ridge National Military Park" grant opportunity (NPS NOIP18AC00153) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement intended to support a focused ethnobotanical and ethnographic study at Pea Ridge National Military Park (PERI) in Arkansas. Led through the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit partnership with the University of Kansas, the project centers on locating, inventorying, and documenting plant species that the Osage Tribe identifies as culturally significant within the park boundary. The work is designed to produce practical, management-relevant information that helps the National Park Service understand which plants matter culturally, where they occur, and what stewardship approaches are appropriate for protecting them.
A key feature of the opportunity is that it is explicitly collaborative with the Osage Tribe, particularly through the Tribal Historic Preservation Office, alongside the NPS Midwest Region Cultural Anthropology program. Rather than being a purely botanical field survey, the project is framed as an ethnographic evaluation grounded in interviews with Osage Tribe members. The intent is to record Indigenous knowledge about culturally significant plants, including their cultural uses and significance, while also translating that knowledge into guidance that can inform park management. The documentation may also support future tribal requests to gather certain identified plant species for traditional purposes, if such gathering is pursued later and meets the criteria and conditions set out under 36 CFR 2.6 (the regulation that addresses the taking of plants and other materials in national parks under limited, authorized circumstances).
The recipient organization is expected to complete an ethnographic study that inventories these culturally significant plants and produces a thorough written product that meets established professional standards in anthropology. The opportunity specifies that research methods and writing must conform to scholarly norms, with stylistic and bibliographic requirements aligned to American Anthropologist and the Chicago Manual of Style. In practical terms, this signals an expectation of careful methodology, clear documentation of sources and interview approaches, and a final report that could stand up to academic and agency review.
From the NPS perspective, the deliverable is meant to serve as baseline information for environmental analysis and decision-making. By clearly identifying which plant species are culturally significant and assessing considerations tied to potential traditional gathering, the study helps the Park Service evaluate possible environmental impacts and develop best management practices that balance resource protection with respect for tribal cultural traditions. The funding opportunity was issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service under CFDA 15.945, with a single anticipated award up to $90,000. The notice was created on July 3, 2018, with an original closing date of July 13, 2018, and eligibility was listed broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility guidance.Apply for NPS NOIP18AC00153
