Opportunity Summary:
The NEA Military Healing Arts Partnership (Funding Opportunity Number NEAPS1601) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) offered through a Cooperative Agreement. Its purpose is to support a national effort focused on arts and health within military contexts, specifically by funding creative arts therapies and broader arts engagement activities that can aid wounded, ill, and injured service members, along with their families. The central intent is to use the arts as a practical support during recovery and rehabilitation, and to help with reintegration into community life or transition to civilian life after service-related injury or illness.
This opportunity is structured as a Cooperative Agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically means the NEA expects to have a more active role in the project during the award period, such as collaboration, coordination, or shared responsibilities as the work is carried out. The performance window listed for the agreement indicates it would start no earlier than August 1, 2016, and run through February 28, 2017, setting a relatively short and focused project period designed to produce near-term impact within that timeframe.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple types of public and nonprofit entities: state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that particular nonprofit category). A key application rule is that an organization may submit only one proposal under this solicitation, so applicants would need to consolidate their best concept into a single submission rather than submitting multiple competing ideas.
The posted award ceiling is $1,584,000, indicating the maximum amount available per award under this opportunity. The posting and creation dates are March 15, 2016, and the application deadline is April 14, 2016. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at mobilizing arts-based approaches in clinical or community settings connected to military populations, with an emphasis on meaningful engagement that supports healing, resilience, and successful transitions for service members and their families.
