Opportunity Information: Apply for 030ADV22R0048
The Library of Congress grant opportunity titled "Of the People: Widening the Path: Connecting Communities Digital Initiative - Higher Education" is a competitive federal funding program designed to help minority-serving institutions in higher education develop new public-facing projects using the Library of Congress's digital collections. The central purpose is to widen public understanding of U.S. history and culture by supporting work that foregrounds the lives, experiences, and viewpoints of communities of color, specifically including Black, Indigenous, Hispanic or Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, as well as other communities of color across the United States. For the purposes of this program, "United States" is defined broadly to include all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories and commonwealths.
This opportunity is offered by the Library of Congress under CFDA 42.012 and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees should expect an ongoing working relationship with the Library during the project period rather than a hands-off grant arrangement. Projects are expected to make meaningful and creative use of digitized Library of Congress materials, which could include primary sources such as photographs, maps, newspapers, oral histories, manuscripts, audio recordings, and other digitized items available through the Library's online platforms. The emphasis is not simply on using the materials, but on building projects that interpret them in ways that elevate community-centered narratives and perspectives that have historically been underrepresented, overlooked, or mischaracterized.
Eligibility is targeted to minority-serving higher education institutions, and the opportunity is categorized under "Other" for both the opportunity category and funding activity category, indicating it does not fit neatly into a single traditional grants label like research, education, or infrastructure, and applicants should rely on the Notice of Funding Opportunity for the precise definitions and requirements. The program anticipates making approximately three awards, with an award ceiling of $50,000 per project, positioning this as a small, focused initiative intended to fund discrete, achievable projects that can be completed with modest resources while still producing tangible outputs.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number 030ADV22R0048, a creation date of June 7, 2022, and a proposal submission deadline of September 30, 2022 at 12:00 PM (noon) Eastern Time. Applicants are directed to consult the attached NOFO for complete guidance, which would typically include allowable and unallowable costs, project period length, evaluation criteria, required forms, reporting expectations, and any partnership or dissemination expectations. Overall, the program is best understood as a chance for eligible colleges and universities to pair their institutional strengths and community connections with the Library of Congress's national digital holdings to produce digital, educational, or engagement-oriented work that broadens who is centered in public history and cultural storytelling.Apply for 030ADV22R0048
