| Description: | This announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service’s intention to award a task agreement under a previously single source justified master cooperative agreement. Specifically, 1) The Organization of American Historians agrees to: a. Produce a Historic Resource Study for George Washington Birthplace National Monument that provides a narrative history of the Washington family at Popes Creek, and their enslaved and indentured laborers, embracing social, political, cultural and economic themes related to the park’s purpose while providing accurate baseline information that will place the extant and historical resources of the park within larger historical and geographic contexts; b. Produce an annotated bibliography of primary sources related to the Washington family at Pope’s Creek, specifically highlighting and identifying known indentured and enslaved workers; c. Engage an appropriate scholar (or team of scholars) to undertake the work and act as the liaison between the NPS and the scholar(s); d. Work with NPS to develop a detailed scope of work, based on Articles I and III of this task agreement, for the scholar(s) to follow in order to complete the Historic Resource study; e. Provide quarterly progress reports in which the scholar(s) describe work accomplished, any issues or concerns related to completion of deliverables, and notify the NPS of any deviations from agreed-upon products and timelines; f. Ensure that the manuscript is prepared as a scholarly report meeting the standards of the historical profession and the NPS through project management, including coordination of agency and peer review comments and provision of editorial services; g. Produce the final publication quality manuscript in pdf format for purposes of internet access, plus twenty-five (25) bound copies; h. Produce an interim interpretive deliverable, to be defined in collaboration with the NPS and the project scholar(s) that will present contextual narratives to general and diverse audiences as a means of engaging audiences and stakeholders in the research project and in the stewardship of park resources. i. Coordinate participation of scholars(s) in a one-day workshop or short webinar with park staff and community stakeholders and the researcher to share the results of the study so that the information can be incorporated, as appropriate, into public programming at the park; j. Make the report available to its membership, as well as the public more broadly, and promote the report within its professional networks so as to make the report as widely available as possible to scholars of American History, so that those scholars and teachers may use the report’s findings in their teaching and writing, to the benefit of not only the scholarly community but students at many levels; k. Promote, to its membership and through its professional networks, any use by NPS of the report in its management and planning, so as to draw attention to its continued efforts to make the presentation and practice of American History within NPS as informed, current, and professional as possible, which is a core mission of the OAH. |
