Opportunity Summary:
The NEA National Arts Education Data Project (Funding Opportunity Number NEAPS1301) is a discretionary National Endowment for the Arts funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement to select a single organization to lead a multi year, nationwide effort to improve how arts education information is collected, standardized, and reported across the United States. The central goal is to build lasting capacity within every state department of education to pull arts education data each year from State Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) and other state education datasets, and then make those data available in a consistent, centralized way. Over a period of up to four years, the project is intended to expand until it includes data from all states, creating for the first time a national, school level view of arts education that is housed in one place and accessible to the public.
The selected cooperator is expected to plan, coordinate, and implement the full National Arts Education Data Project for K-12 school based learning environments. The work is defined around three required components. First, the cooperator must identify which state department of education datasets will be used (explicitly including SLDS where available) and develop a clear data extraction plan that can be applied across states with different systems and data structures. Second, the cooperator must build an online database that can extract and integrate arts education data from SLDS and other state datasets, essentially creating the technical backbone for the national repository. This database is expected to be paired with web based data dashboards and data visualization tools so that the information is not only stored but also usable and understandable to a wide range of audiences. Third, the cooperator must train state department of education staff to use the new system, with the intent that states can routinely collect and report these data on an annual basis rather than treating the project as a one time study.
Beyond building the system, the awardee is also responsible for broader implementation duties that ensure the project is adopted and sustained. This includes promoting and disseminating the project and its outputs, monitoring ongoing activities as states come online, and evaluating the program to assess performance and impact. Because the data are meant to be centralized and publicly accessible, the project places heavy emphasis on practical usability, including tools that help stakeholders interpret what the data mean at the school level and how arts education access and offerings vary across locations.
The NEA anticipates making one award under this solicitation. Funding ranges from a floor of $240,000 to a ceiling of $1,200,000, and cost sharing or matching is required. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 45.024 (Promotion of the Arts - Grants to Organizations and Individuals). While the opportunity was posted on November 18, 2013, the project start date for NEA support is indicated as on or after September 1, 2014, reflecting the lead time needed for award processing and launch.
Eligibility is broad and includes U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) tax exempt status (other than institutions of higher education), public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and units of state, local, or federally recognized tribal governments. Regional arts organizations and state arts agencies are explicitly eligible. Applicants must meet the NEA legal requirements at the time of application and must be current on final reporting for any prior NEA awards. An important application constraint is that an organization may submit only one proposal under this specific program solicitation, although the same organization may apply to other NEA opportunities (such as Art Works or Our Town) as long as each application is for a distinctly different project.
Applications were required to be submitted through Grants.gov, and the system needed to receive a validated and accepted application by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 18, 2013. The opportunity was archived on January 17, 2014. For applicants needing the full announcement, the listing references an NEA web announcement and provides the NEA Web Manager as a contact for access issues.
