Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Archeological Investigation in Oregon
The Research Institute Funds Archeological Investigation grant, offered by the Banking Institution, is focused on supporting projects that contribute to the understanding of Oregon's rich cultural heritage. Given the state's unique archeological landscape, the funder is particularly interested in projects that address specific priority outcomes.
Preserving Oregon's Cultural Resources
One of the primary priority outcomes for this grant is the preservation of Oregon's cultural resources. The state's diverse geography, from the coastal regions to the high desert, is home to a wide range of archeological sites that are vulnerable to erosion, development, and other threats. The Oregon State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) plays a critical role in identifying and preserving these sites, and the grant is designed to support projects that align with the SHPO's priorities. For instance, projects that focus on documenting and analyzing archeological sites in the Willamette Valley, a region with a high concentration of cultural resources, are likely to be considered favorably.
Another key priority outcome is the advancement of archeological knowledge in Oregon. The grant is intended to support projects that contribute to a deeper understanding of the state's cultural history, particularly in areas where there are significant gaps in the existing knowledge base. For example, projects that explore the archeology of Oregon's coastal regions, which have been shaped by the unique cultural and environmental factors associated with the Pacific Ocean, are likely to be of particular interest. The funder is also interested in projects that incorporate new technologies and methodologies, such as geophysical survey and digital documentation, to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of archeological investigations.
The grant is also aligned with the state's broader economic development goals. Oregon's tourism industry is a significant contributor to the state's economy, and cultural tourism, in particular, is becoming increasingly important. By supporting archeological investigations and the preservation of cultural resources, the grant is helping to create new opportunities for economic growth and development in rural and urban areas alike. In fact, a recent study found that cultural tourism in Oregon generates over $800 million in annual economic impact, highlighting the potential for archeological projects to contribute to the state's economic vitality.
Applicants should be aware that the funder is particularly interested in projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of the state's archeological context and that are designed to address specific research questions or conservation needs. The grant review process will place a strong emphasis on the project's potential to contribute to the priority outcomes outlined above, as well as its feasibility, budget, and overall quality.
In terms of geographic focus, the grant is open to projects from across Oregon, although those that address the needs of under-documented or vulnerable regions, such as the high desert or the coastal regions, may be given special consideration. The funder is also interested in projects that involve collaboration between different stakeholders, including academic researchers, tribal communities, and local preservation organizations.
For Oregon-based applicants, there are several resources available to support the development of competitive grant proposals. The Oregon Archaeological Society, for example, provides a range of resources and training opportunities for individuals interested in archeological investigation. Additionally, the SHPO offers guidance on historic preservation and cultural resource management, which can be invaluable in developing projects that align with the state's preservation priorities.

A: While the grant is open to projects from across Oregon, those that address the needs of under-documented or vulnerable regions, such as the high desert or the coastal regions, may be given special consideration. Applicants should be aware of the state's diverse geography and the cultural resources that are associated with different regions.
