This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $284,426 supports the International Research Experience for Students (IRES) program and Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) to deliver immersive field and laboratory experiences for graduate students through the study of different cultural horizons on the Caribbean island of Barbuda, Antigua and Barbuda. The University of Nebraska will implement the project from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025.

Specifically, the grant will fund research by three cohorts of six graduate students each at the Barbuda Research Complex. Students will collect field data using methodologies from various archaeological subfields to assess cultural heritage sites and gather baseline data for continued monitoring. They will also develop community-driven strategies for cultural heritage preservation in the face of tourism development and severe storms. The project aims to train students in interdisciplinary methodologies and communicating research while also generating scholarship of interest to cultural resource managers and policymakers. It will facilitate partnerships between the Barbuda Research Complex and U.S. institutions and collaborate with K-12 schools.
