Opportunity Information: Apply for 030ADV24R0028
The Library of Congress is offering a set of continuing cooperative agreement awards for FY25 through FY27 under its Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Program. TPS is the Librarys long-running education outreach effort designed to help teachers and other educators use digitized primary sources from the Library of Congress in instruction. The program centers on strengthening student literacy, critical thinking, subject-matter learning, and the ability to do original research by making effective classroom use of historical documents, photographs, recordings, maps, and other primary materials available at loc.gov/teachers. In the Librarys current strategic context, TPS Consortium members are treated as "connectors" who extend the Librarys reach and help it engage audiences nationwide, aligned with the Center for Learning, Literacy and Engagement and broader outreach priorities.
This particular funding opportunity is not for brand-new TPS entrants. It is a continuing-awards competition limited to current TPS Consortium member organizations that previously received TPS grants directly from the Library of Congress and meet specific eligibility rules. The core purpose is to take materials, tools, approaches, programming, and research created under earlier TPS awards and scale their use by getting them into wider circulation, especially among audiences that have been underserved by TPS to date. The Library is looking for proposals that go beyond simply reusing existing products; applicants are expected to review and revise what they already built, improve or adapt those products so they are more valuable and usable for educators and learners, and create practical dissemination strategies that rely on partnerships, networks, and targeted outreach.
A major theme in the NOFO is intentional expansion to clearly identified groups. Applicants need to define the specific educator and learner populations they plan to reach and explain why those populations are underserved. The Library is explicitly interested in projects that meet the needs of learners across different professions, ethnicities, geographic regions, abilities, interests, affiliations, and other defining characteristics. Competitive proposals should connect their outreach plan to demonstrated educational needs and describe solutions that are supported by standard practice, documented experience, or research evidence. In other words, proposals should make a clear case for why the selected dissemination methods and adapted products are likely to work for the intended recipients, rather than relying on general claims about outreach.
Eligibility is limited to continuing TPS Consortium members that have received no more than three years of TPS funding directly from the Library and that have already produced TPS-based teaching materials, tools, programs, or approaches using Library of Congress primary sources. Beyond eligibility, applicants must present a compelling plan to disseminate those prior products to expanded audiences through both new and existing partners and networks. The NOFO encourages applicants to leverage connections within and beyond the TPS Consortium, including related Library networks such as those associated with the Center for the Book, the Literacy Awards Program, and the Connecting Communities Digital Initiative.
Administratively, this is a discretionary education opportunity administered by the Library of Congress under CFDA 42.010, offered as a cooperative agreement. Proposals must be submitted by email to tps-grant@loc.gov, and submissions through Grants.gov will not be accepted. The opportunity number is 030ADV24R0028. The original closing date listed is 2024-05-21. The award ceiling is $75,000, and the Library anticipates making about 25 awards. For the full set of application requirements, selection criteria, and compliance details, applicants are directed to the NOFO materials in the Related Documents for the listing.Apply for 030ADV24R0028
