What the grant funds

Teaching with Primary Sources Program (TPS) The Teaching with Primary Sources program has been the Library of Congress’s premier educational outreach program. 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 2019-23 and 2024-2028 Strategic Plans, the TPS goals are both influencing and reflecting the Library’s broader outreach goals. TPS Consortium members are valued as “Connectors” who help the Library achieve its vision of connecting to all Americans. www.loc.gov/teachers Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for Continuing Awards (FY25-FY27) With this Notice, the Library seeks to solicit project proposals from current TPS Consortium members that expand the use of teaching materials, tools, and strategies they developed under previous TPS awards. This opportunity is only open to Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Program Consortium Members who have received grants directly from the Library and who meet the eligibility requirements as stated in this Notice. Specifically, the Library of Congress seeks to provide funding to experienced TPS providers to disseminate their TPS teaching materials, tools, programming, and research to meet the needs of learners representing specific professions, ethnicities, geographic locations, abilities, interests, affiliations, and other attributes. Successful applicants will extend their outreach to groups of educators and learners they have identified as being underserved by the TPS program. Applicants must describe how they will support current and new audiences by reviewing and revising products they developed under TPS; modifying TPS products to enhance their value to educators and learners; and developing strategies and networks that facilitate outreach to targeted populations. Applicants must submit project proposals that address demonstrated educational needs of specific recipient populations with solutions that standard practice, documented experience, or research suggest would be effective. Submission Information All proposals must be submitted electronically via email to tps-grant@loc.gov.
