Grant Overview
Expand to read about this Florida funding opportunity and other eligibility considerations.
Florida's coastal archaeological sites face unprecedented threats from rising sea levels and intensifying storms, with 30% of the state's historic sites located within 100 feet of the shoreline. Recent studies indicate that erosion rates along Florida's coast have increased by 25% over the past decade, putting these irreplaceable resources at risk. Researchers conducting projects in Florida must demonstrate an understanding of these environmental pressures and develop strategies to mitigate them. Who Should Apply in Florida? Researchers based in Florida or conducting fieldwork in the state are eligible for this funding, with priority given to projects that incorporate innovative technologies like remote sensing to document and preserve submerged sites. Applications must demonstrate collaboration with local preservation organizations and engagement with Florida's diverse coastal communities. Florida's unique geography, with its extensive coastline and numerous barrier islands, requires specialized approaches to archaeological preservation that differ significantly from neighboring states like Georgia. The funding supports projects that range from $2,000 to $30,000, covering direct research expenses such as fieldwork and equipment. In Florida, the focus is on projects that can inform local policy on preservation techniques while engaging students in coastal stewardship. ## Florida's Coastal Challenges: A Research Opportunity. Florida's distinctive combination of high erosion rates, sea level rise, and dense archaeological site distribution creates a pressing need for research that can inform preservation efforts. ## Assessing Eligibility for Florida Researchers. To qualify, applicants must be conducting research that directly benefits Florida's archaeological preservation efforts, with a clear plan for how findings will be integrated into local policy and community education initiatives.
