Grant Overview
Emerging Trends in Research and Evaluation for US Craft History The Fellowship for Archival Research on US History is driving a new wave of research into underrepresented and non-dominant craft histories. As a trends-focused overview for the Research & Evaluation sector, this page will examine the current landscape, priorities, and capacity requirements for applicants. ### Shifts in Research Priorities and Methodologies The craft history research landscape is witnessing a significant shift towards inclusivity, with a growing emphasis on underrepresented narratives and voices. The National Science Foundation's (NSF) support for innovative research methodologies and the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant program are indicative of this trend. Applicants should be prepared to adopt novel approaches to archival research, potentially incorporating digital humanities tools and collaborative research designs. The NSF's priorities on advancing knowledge and promoting diversity are key drivers of this shift. One concrete regulation that applies to this sector is the National Historical Publications and Records Commission's (NHPRC) grant guidelines, which emphasize the importance of archival research and the preservation of historical records. Applicants must ensure compliance with these guidelines to remain eligible for funding. A verifiable delivery challenge unique to this sector is the limited accessibility of certain archival materials, particularly those related to non-dominant craft histories. Researchers may need to navigate restricted archives or collaborate with community members to access private collections. This challenge requires innovative solutions and potentially new partnerships. The Fellowship for Archival Research on US History is part of a broader movement towards recognizing and preserving diverse craft histories. Applicants should be aware of the current market shifts, including the growing interest in SBIR funding and the NSF's continued support for research in the arts and humanities. ### Capacity Requirements and Operational Challenges Successful applicants will need to demonstrate the capacity to undertake rigorous archival research, engage with diverse stakeholders, and produce high-quality publications. This requires a strong background in research and evaluation, as well as the ability to navigate complex archival environments. Operational challenges include managing the research workflow, staffing, and resource allocation. Applicants should be prepared to articulate their capacity to meet these challenges and outline their plans for project management. The stipend provided by the fellowship will support participation in a virtual program, research at archives, and publication of findings. Applicants should consider how to optimize their workflow to maximize the impact of these funds. Effective project management will be crucial in meeting the required outcomes and KPIs. ### Measurement and Reporting Requirements The Fellowship for Archival Research on US History requires applicants to outline their plans for measuring and reporting on their research outcomes. This includes articulating clear KPIs and a methodology for evaluating the success of their project. Applicants should be aware of the reporting requirements, including the need to publish their findings and participate in a virtual program. The funder will be looking for evidence of rigorous research, innovative methodologies, and meaningful contributions to the field of craft history. Q: How do I ensure my research proposal meets the NSF's priorities on advancing knowledge and promoting diversity? A: To align with NSF priorities, focus on innovative research methodologies and underrepresented narratives in US craft history, and be prepared to articulate how your project advances knowledge and promotes diversity. Q: What are the eligibility barriers for applicants without a traditional academic background? A: While a traditional academic background may be beneficial, it is not the sole determining factor for eligibility. Applicants should demonstrate a strong background in research and evaluation, as well as a clear understanding of the research priorities and methodologies. Q: How can I access restricted archival materials for my research project? A: To access restricted archival materials, consider collaborating with community members or organizations that may have access to these resources. You may also need to develop innovative solutions, such as digital alternatives or partnerships with archives that hold relevant materials.
