Opportunity Information: Apply for COLLABORATIVES 202001
The Archives Collaboratives grant opportunity, offered by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) within the National Archives and Records Administration, is designed to help small and under-represented archives make their collections easier for the public to discover and use. The core idea is to support groups of archives that work together to strengthen how they care for, describe, and share historical records, especially where individual institutions may not have enough staff, funding, or technical capacity to do as much on their own. Rather than focusing only on one repository, the program emphasizes collaboration so that multiple organizations can adopt shared approaches that improve access and long-term stewardship across a broader set of collections.
To be eligible as a collaborative, the group must include at least three organizations. These partners can be based in the same town, state, or region, but they do not have to be; the program also allows "virtual" collaboratives that operate primarily online. Collaboratives can be formed for different reasons, including shared subject matter or collecting areas, similar missions, or because they serve similar user communities. The program’s goals include sharing best practices, tools, and techniques; assessing each member institution’s strengths and opportunities; and building management structures that support long-term sustainability and growth, so the collaboration continues to deliver benefits after the grant ends.
This particular funding track is for Implementation Grants, which support putting into action projects that were developed during an earlier planning phase. Competitive applications are expected to show clear commitment from member organizations and to present a practical work plan and timeline. Implementation awards can be up to $100,000 total, shared across the consortium, and only collaboratives that successfully completed the Planning Phase are eligible to apply for this implementation funding. Based on the opportunity details provided, applications were due January 16, 2020, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2020. The posted award ceiling is $100,000, and the opportunity anticipated around six awards.
A key requirement is cost sharing. NHPRC will cover no more than 75 percent of the total project cost for Implementation Grants, meaning the applicant consortium must provide at least 25 percent in matching support. The match can include a mix of direct costs and allowable indirect contributions, in-kind support, non-federal third-party contributions, and project-generated income, but NHPRC funds themselves cannot be used for indirect costs. Any indirect costs must be counted only as part of the applicant’s share. Applicants are also expected to follow NHPRC rules about what activities are and are not fundable; proposals made up entirely of ineligible activities will not be considered.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations and institutions, colleges and universities (public or private), state or local government agencies, and federally acknowledged or state recognized Native American tribes or groups. Administratively, applicant organizations must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), keep that registration active through the application and award process, and include a valid DUNS number in the application (noting that federal identifier practices have evolved over time, but the opportunity text specifies DUNS). A complete application package must include Standard Form 424 (Application for Federal Assistance), Standard Form 424B (Assurances for Non-Construction Programs), a project narrative and summary, supplementary materials, and a budget. Submissions missing required components are not considered, and ineligible applications are not reviewed. Finally, awardees must acknowledge NHPRC support in publications and products produced with grant assistance.Apply for COLLABORATIVES 202001
