Teaching with Primary Sources - New Awards for FY25-FY27 is a Library of Congress funding opportunity that supports educational organizations in creating and delivering projects built around the Librarys digitized primary sources and other online materials. The broader TPS program is the Library of Congress flagship education outreach effort, historically focused on strengthening educators ability to use primary sources to improve student literacy, critical thinking, subject-matter understanding, and original research skills. In recent years, TPS has also been aligned with the Librarys larger strategic direction and outreach mission, with TPS Consortium members positioned as key "connectors" who help the Library reach and serve people across the country through practical teaching and learning resources (www.loc.gov/teachers).
For the FY25-FY27 award cycle, the Library is looking for organizations that will design and implement new, innovative educational strategies, tools, and materials that make meaningful use of Library of Congress online resources. A central priority is serving specific sub-populations of Americans based on characteristics such as profession, ethnicity, geography, ability, interests, affiliations, or other defining attributes. The intent is not just to create generic curriculum, but to propose projects that respond to clearly demonstrated educational needs of a defined audience and offer solutions that are supported by standard practice, documented experience, or research. The scope is intentionally broad: projects may be used in traditional classroom settings and also in informal or out-of-school learning environments, reflecting an expanded program focus under the Professional Learning and Outreach Initiatives Office within the Center for Learning, Literacy and Engagement.
The content areas are wide-ranging and designed to match applicant expertise, as long as the work is anchored in Library of Congress materials and serves an articulated need. Examples of acceptable focus areas include STEM, literacy and media literacy, social studies, civics, arts, teacher education, public health, journalism, and topics related to justice and equality, among others. The program is essentially asking applicants to show how primary sources and other LOC digital content can be used in creative, effective ways to reach particular learners, educators, or community groups, and to deliver practical resources or professional learning that people can actually use.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement through the Library of Congress (CFDA 42.010), meaning awardees should expect an active relationship with the Library during the project period rather than a hands-off grant. The funding opportunity number is 030ADV24R0027. The award ceiling is $100,000 per award, and the Library anticipated making about 35 awards. Eligibility is broad and includes state, county, and local governments; special districts; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other eligible entities listed in the official notice. The Library also highlights the value of collaborative partnerships, such as pairing an organization with strong content expertise with a state or regional education entity to improve reach and implementation.
The application process is straightforward but has one critical rule: proposals must be submitted by email to tps-grant@loc.gov, and submissions through Grants.gov will not be accepted. The original closing date listed for this NOFO was May 21, 2024. For full requirements, selection criteria, and detailed eligibility conditions, applicants are directed to the full Notice of Funding Opportunity in the related documents for the listing.Apply for 030ADV24R0027
