Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00594
The grant opportunity titled "K-12 Students' Stories and Perspectives Curriculum Development" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00594) is a National Park Service education project under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects to be actively involved in some aspects of the work rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The stated purpose is to strengthen and expand K-12 curriculum resources that reflect and honor shared Native and non-Native history connected to the Trail, using approaches that elevate students' stories and perspectives and incorporate tribally grounded teachings.
The project is designed to run on two parallel tracks at the same time. The first track focuses on teacher training and dissemination. This includes one conference presentation and two hands-on workshops aimed at educators. Those workshops are planned to take place in Yellowstone National Park, using the park setting as a learning venue and a platform for outreach. A major emphasis of the training component is dissemination of "Honoring Tribal Legacies" (HTL) Teachings, which are existing educational materials or lesson frameworks intended to convey Indigenous histories, perspectives, and cultural knowledge in a respectful and classroom-ready way.
The second track is curriculum development specifically for K-12 education. Alongside the teacher-facing training events, the project will develop additional curriculum materials that build on the HTL Teachings. A notable feature is the inclusion of traditional Native games as an instructional focus. Educators will not only be introduced to these games but will be supported in learning how to play them and how to prepare to teach them in their own classrooms, using the games to go deeper into one of the existing HTL Teachings. In practice, this suggests curriculum that is experiential and culturally informed, blending historical content with participatory learning methods that teachers can adapt for different grade levels.
From an administrative standpoint, this announcement is categorized as discretionary funding and is associated with CFDA number 15.945. Eligible applicants are public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The notice lists an award ceiling of $143,868 with an expected number of awards of one. Importantly, it explicitly states that this is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service intends to fund a specific project to CSUF, indicating the recipient has effectively already been selected and the announcement is being posted for transparency rather than competition. The original posting date is September 5, 2019, with an original closing date of September 25, 2019, reflecting the administrative window for the public notice rather than an open application period.
Overall, the opportunity centers on expanding the reach and classroom usability of tribally informed educational content by pairing educator professional development with concrete curriculum production. The Yellowstone workshops, the conference presentation, and the practical training around traditional Native games are all positioned as mechanisms for broader dissemination, helping teachers nationwide access new or enhanced materials that more accurately and respectfully represent Indigenous histories and the intertwined Native and non-Native narratives of the Trail.Apply for P19AS00594
