This funding opportunity is authorized under the “Legislative Branch Appropriations Act of 2023” (Pub. L. 117-389 (H.R. 8237)), subject to availability of funding. The resulting awards will be subject to the Library of Congress Regulation (LCR) 7-310. In addition, while the Library, as a legislative agency, is not subject to 2 CFR 200 – Uniform Administrative Requirements, Costs Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, the resulting awards will be subject to selective provisions of 2 CFR 200 as determined by the Library and indicated in this NOFO. About the Library of Congress The Library of Congress is the largest library in the world, with millions of books, films and video, audio recordings, photographs, newspapers, maps and manuscripts in its collections. The Library is the main research arm of the U.S. Congress. It is the nation’s oldest federal cultural institution. The Library’s mission is to engage, inspire, and inform Congress and the American people with a universal and enduring source of knowledge and creativity. About the Teaching with Primary Sources Program (TPS) The Teaching with Primary Sources program (www.loc.gov/teachers) has been the Library of Congress’s premier educational grant program since 2006. The goals of the program have included providing instructional materials, tools, education and professional development that enhance teachers’ ability to integrate digitized primary sources from the Library of Congress into instruction that builds student literacy, critical thinking skills, content knowledge and ability to conduct original research. Since the establishment of the Center for Learning, Literacy and Engagement in 2018, and the release of the Library’s 2024-2028 Strategic Plan, the TPS goals both influence and reflect the Library’s broader outreach goals. About the Lewis-Houghton Civics and Democracy Initiative (LHI) Named in honor of Rep. John R. Lewis (D-GA) and Rep. Amo Houghton (R-NY), the Lewis-Houghton Civics and Democracy Initiative (LHI) is included under the Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) program. In the joint explanatory statement for the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2023, Congress established the Lewis-Houghton Civics and Democracy Initiative and appropriated funds to the Library of Congress to award grants to eligible organizations within the United States (U.S.) and its territories to develop digitally-enabled, creative arts-driven projects focused on using the digitized primary sources of the Library of Congress to teach history, civics and/or democracy. More information and a description of past LHI-funded projects can be found at: https://www.loc.gov/programs/teachers/about-this-program/teaching-with-primary-sources-partner-program/lewis-houghton/. TPS Educational Consortium Grantee organizations become members of the TPS Educational Consortium. They include a wide variety of educational organizations including school districts, libraries, cultural institutions, universities and technology firms that have received Library funding to deliver teacher professional development, create teaching materials and develop apps and online interactives, based on Library of Congress materials. TPS Consortium members are valued as “Connectors” who help the Library achieve its vision of connecting to all Americans. TPS Consortium members extend the Library’s reach by connecting hundreds of thousands of American educators and learners, including K-12 teachers and their students, to Library of Congress methods and materials. Consortium members collaborate, co-create, share ideas, network and actively participate as an educational community. Purpose The purpose of this notice is for the Library of Congress to solicit project proposals from eligible organizations and select awardee organizations that will design and implement educational projects in which the Library’s music or creative arts-related digitized primary sources and other online materials are central to teaching and learning about history, civics, and/or democracy. Awards made under Lewis-Houghton Civics and Democracy Initiative must include rights-free materials from the Library’s music or creative arts digital collections, to develop curriculum, teaching materials, educational programs, pedagogical approaches, and/or other tools for history, civic and democracy instruction targeted toward middle and high school educators and learners. LHI awards should center on inquiry-driven analysis of primary sources, build learners’ civic skills and foster participation in our nation’s democracy. In addition to highlighting primary sources from the Library’s collections of music, dance, theater, visual arts, folk arts, film, photography, book arts, arts and literary manuscripts, and/or other creative arts, proposals may also include the use of arts-based pedagogies and other creative approaches. All proposals must expand the body of innovative strategies, tools, and materials for meaningful teaching and learning with Library of Congress materials. The focus of LHI awards includes the design of educational projects using Library of Congress materials for use in and outside of formal classroom settings. In addition to using Library primary sources to deliver history, civics, and/or democracy learning experiences integrating the arts, projects must address demonstrated educational needs of specific recipient populations and provide solutions that standard practice, documented experience, or research suggest would be effective. Organizations that receive LHI awards make up a subset of the TPS Educational Consortium whose work spans areas of interest including but not limited to arts integration, civics education, multimodal learning, and teaching with audiovisual primary sources. Funded projects will support the Library’s mission to use its collections to connect with all Americans, including those representing multiple communities, beliefs and endeavors, to engage, inspire and inform Congress and the American people with a universal and enduring source of knowledge and creativity. Projects must use the Library’s digital collections for one or more of the following approaches: a) Deliver educational programming to various categories of educators and learners in secondary education (middle and high school); b) Create and distribute educational materials or tools for teaching specific content in history, civics, and/or democracy; c) Convene meetings of like organizations to devise strategies for furthering common learning and teaching goals with Library of Congress materials related to music and/or the arts; and/or d) Conduct research with significant practitioner involvement that investigates the impact of incorporating Library of Congress music and/or creative arts collections into history, civics, and/or democracy educational initiatives.
