Opportunity Summary:
The Archives Leadership Institute grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number LEADERSHIP 201110) is a discretionary grant from the National Archives and Records Administration, administered through the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) under CFDA 89.003. Its purpose is to fund an organization to continue running the Archives Leadership Institute, a program NHPRC first supported in 2008, with the broader goal of strengthening leadership across the archives profession. The central idea is to develop the leadership capacity of archivists and records professionals so they can be more effective both inside their home institutions and as contributors to the field at large.
NHPRC is looking for a one-week institute that adapts current, widely accepted best practices in leadership development to the real-world challenges faced by archives professionals. The funded organization would be responsible for the full lifecycle of the program, including designing and developing the curriculum, recruiting and selecting participants, arranging faculty, and administering the institute itself. The program is expected to cover leadership and management topics that matter directly to archives, such as the impact of technology, economic pressures, public policy considerations, and managing relationships with stakeholders and constituents. It should also address practical administrative skills like strategic planning, fundraising, and organizational management. A key expectation is that participants get structured opportunities to work through their own institutional needs and develop practical solutions they can take back home, rather than only receiving general leadership theory.
To deliver that mix of content, proposals should include a faculty plan that blends leadership development and organizational management experts with experienced archival leaders. NHPRC also signals that applicants can draw on established leadership institute models in other sectors, specifically pointing to the Getty Leadership Institute Seminar for Historical Administration and the Frye Leadership Institute as useful reference points when shaping the program structure and learning outcomes.
Funding is structured as a single expected award, with a maximum total award ceiling of $250,000 for a project lasting up to three years. NHPRC anticipates the institute will run once each year beginning in 2013, and applicants may propose to host two or three annual institutes depending on the proposed project period. The award floor is listed as $0, meaning proposals may request varying amounts up to the ceiling based on scope and design.
A cost sharing or matching component is required, but NHPRC indicates flexibility in what can count toward that share. The Commission may fund up to 100 percent of direct costs (excluding program revenue), and allowable cost sharing may include program revenue (such as participant fees), the grantee's indirect costs, and any additional direct costs covered by the applicant. The awardee must also acknowledge NHPRC support in all products and publicity that result from the grant.
Eligible applicants are broad and include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, state and local governments (including counties and cities/townships), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted June 6, 2011, with an application deadline of October 6, 2011, and the archive date of November 6, 2011. For access issues with the full announcement, the listed contact is Jeff de la Concepcion, Grant Program Specialist, at 202-357-5022.
