Grant Overview
Missouri researchers face a significant barrier in exploring the state's Revolutionary War history: a lack of accessible archival resources and historical records. The barrier is particularly pronounced in rural areas, where researchers may lack access to major research libraries and archives. Unlike neighboring states, Missouri's unique history as a western frontier state requires a specific focus on the role of exploration and settlement in shaping the region's history. Missouri's Historical Landscape: The state's diverse geography, including its Ozark Mountains and Mississippi River valley, provides a unique backdrop for research on the Revolutionary War era. The state's economic reliance on agriculture and tourism also informs the types of projects that are likely to receive funding. With its many historic sites and cultural institutions, including the Harry S. Truman National Historic Site, Missouri offers a rich context for research. To succeed, applicants must demonstrate a clear understanding of the state's historical context and a plan for addressing the barrier to research through innovative approaches. Application requirements include a detailed plan for accessing and utilizing archival resources and a clear budget. Missouri's transportation infrastructure, including its major highways and rivers, also supports the development of historical research projects. By focusing on the state's unique historical context and barriers to research, applicants can increase their chances of securing funding. The grant awards, ranging from $2,000 to $30,000, are intended to cover direct research expenses, including fieldwork and equipment. In Missouri, the average grant award is $14,000, reflecting the state's focus on innovative research projects. Missouri's Revolutionary War history is also reflected in its many historic sites, including the Battle of Lexington State Historic Site and the Fort Osage National Historic Landmark.
