NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES

National Endowment for the Humanities


Announcement of Award of a Non-Competitive Cooperative Agreement

AGENCY: National Endowment for the Humanities; National Foundation on 
the Arts and the Humanities.

ACTION: Notice of intention to award non-competitive cooperative 
agreement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NEH intends to award $491,049 to the National Native American 
Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS) for continued survey work and 
prioritization of primary sources documenting the history of Indian 
boarding schools in the U.S.; digitization and description of 120,000 
pages of federal boarding school records held by the National Archives 
and Records Administration (NARA); and collaboration among source 
communities, the National Indian Boarding School Digital Archive Data 
Aggregation Working Group, the Social Networks and Archival Context 
cooperative, and federal partners. This action is necessary to further 
the development of digital access to records significant to public 
understanding of the history and impacts of Indian boarding schools in 
the U.S. Because NABS has invested four years into developing a unique 
platform with the technical considerations to aggregate boarding school 
records of various sizes and formats and leads an established community 
of practice creating standards and best practices in boarding school 
record curation, NEH determined that a competition to fund the 
construction of a similar platform and capacities would be uneconomical 
and impractical.

DATES: The anticipated period of performance is January 1, 2024 to 
December 31, 2025.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Briann Greenfield, Director, Division 
Preservation & Access, 400 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 20024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NEH is an independent federal agency created 
in 1965. It is one of the largest funders of humanities programs in the 
United States. Because democracy demands wisdom, NEH serves and 
strengthens our republic by promoting excellence in the humanities and 
conveying the lessons of history to all Americans. NEH accomplishes 
this mission by awarding grants for top-rated proposals examined by 
panels of independent, external reviewers.
    NEH offers funding under the authority of 20 U.S.C. 956. Awards are 
subject to 2 CFR part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost 
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, and the General 
Terms and Conditions for Awards to Organizations (for grants and 
cooperative agreements issued January 1, 2022 or later).
