Opportunity Information: Apply for 030ADV23R0034
The Library of Congress is offering a competitive discretionary funding opportunity, titled "Of the People: Widening the Path: CCDI - Higher Education," aimed at supporting minority-serving institutions (MSIs) in higher education. Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity, the Library plans to make up to three cooperative agreement awards, with each award providing as much as $70,000. The core purpose is to help eligible colleges and universities develop projects that actively use and creatively repurpose the Library of Congress's digital collections to highlight, interpret, and share the histories and lived experiences of communities of color in the United States.
Projects funded under this opportunity are expected to center on one or more of the following groups: Black, Indigenous, Hispanic or Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and other communities of color. The Notice uses an expansive definition of the United States, explicitly including all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition to race and ethnicity, the Library also encourages applicants to incorporate intersecting themes such as gender, sexuality, class, color, disability, and other dimensions of identity and experience, as long as the work remains grounded in one or more of the communities emphasized by the program.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is imaginative reuse of existing Library of Congress digital materials. Rather than limiting applicants to traditional academic outputs, the Library is signaling openness to a wide range of approaches that "reuse and remix" digitized content. That can include interpretive and educational materials, digital exhibits, curricular resources, storytelling projects, public-facing scholarship, or other forms of engagement that bring Library collections into teaching, learning, and community connection. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, awardees should expect an active relationship with the Library of Congress during the project period, typically involving collaboration, coordination, and shared expectations around deliverables and project direction, beyond what is common in a standard grant.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education, with the program specifically intended to benefit minority-serving higher education institutions. The opportunity is administered by the Library of Congress and is associated with CFDA number 42.012. The funding opportunity number is 030ADV23R0034. The Notice was posted May 17, 2023, and the application deadline was September 7, 2023, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. The official Notice of Funding Opportunity contains the detailed requirements, expectations, and application instructions that applicants would need to follow to be considered for an award.Apply for 030ADV23R0034
