Opportunity Summary:
The Teacher Symposium on the War of 1812 (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0025) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement notice from April 2013 that serves as an announcement of an award already made, not a competitive grant solicitation. In other words, it was posted to document that federal funding had been awarded to a specific partner, the Montpelier Foundation, rather than to invite new applications. The project is tied to the National Trails System Projects program (CFDA 15.935) and is connected to interpretation and education efforts along the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail (NHT), which highlights key Chesapeake region sites associated with the War of 1812.
The purpose of the FY 2013 funding is to support the cooperative development and delivery of a residential teacher education program focused on the War of 1812 and the constitutional issues surrounding the conflict. The intent is to provide educators with strong historical content and practical curriculum resources they can take back to their schools. By training teachers as multipliers, the symposium is designed to extend its impact beyond the participants themselves, helping them serve as mentor-trainers who can support additional educators and influence classroom instruction during the War of 1812 Bicentennial period and continuing afterward.
The funded activities center on a structured, immersive experience: a 5 day and 4 night residential program run through Montpelier Foundation programming, specifically directing the Center for the Constitution to conduct the core symposium. Alongside classroom-style instruction and discussion of constitutional themes, the program includes coordinated off-site visits to partner locations and National Park Service sites along the Star-Spangled Banner NHT. Transportation for these field experiences is part of the Montpelier Foundation's responsibilities, emphasizing on-the-ground learning and direct exposure to historic places connected to the war.
A key deliverable is the preparation and distribution of take-home instructional support for participants. Educators are to receive a workshop packet plus multiple books and other materials intended to strengthen their ability to teach the history, causes, and consequences of the War of 1812 and to train fellow educators once they return home. This framing makes the symposium both a professional development opportunity and a curriculum diffusion strategy, using prepared content and resources to encourage consistent, accurate instruction across schools.
Administratively, the notice lists a single expected award with an estimated total of $35,000, and both the award floor and ceiling set at $35,000, indicating a fixed-size agreement for the defined scope of work. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. While the eligibility category references 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the document repeatedly clarifies that eligibility details are largely informational here because the award decision had already been made. The posting dates and very short open period (posted April 17, 2013; closed April 22, 2013; archived April 23, 2013) reinforce that this was a public notice for an existing award rather than an open competition.
For additional information, the notice provides a National Park Service contact: Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist (phone 215-597-9153), associated with the Montpelier Foundation's teacher symposium effort.
