The American History and Civics Education: Presidential and Congressional Academies for American History and Civics (Academies) Program (CFDA 84.422A) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Innovation and Improvement (OII). The program is designed to strengthen instruction and learning in American history, civics, and government by supporting the creation and operation of specialized "academies" that deliver high-quality educational experiences to two key groups: teachers and high school students. The overall goal is to deepen participants' content knowledge and understanding of these subjects through structured programming built by organizations with proven expertise.
This grant funds two related types of academies. First, Presidential Academies for the Teaching of American History and Civics focus on teachers, offering workshops intended for both new and experienced educators. These workshops are meant to build teachers' command of American history, civics, and government education, which can translate into stronger classroom instruction and better student outcomes over time. Second, Congressional Academies for Students of American History and Civics are geared toward high school students and are intended to enrich students' understanding of American history and civics through enhanced learning opportunities beyond what they might typically receive in a standard school setting.
Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education as well as nonprofit educational organizations, museums, libraries, and research centers, as long as they can demonstrate expertise either in historical methodology or in teaching American history and civics. Applicants may also apply as a consortium of these entities, which can be useful when different partners bring complementary strengths (for example, a university history department partnering with a museum or a civic education nonprofit). A key application requirement is documentation that supports and proves the applicant organization's relevant expertise in historical methodology or the teaching of American history or civics. For consortium applications, applicants must follow the federal group application procedures described in 34 CFR 75.127 through 34 CFR 75.129.
Applications for this opportunity were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. Applicants were instructed to locate the correct application package by searching the CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning they should search for "84.422" rather than "84.422A." The synopsis notes that full details such as priorities, performance measures, submission requirements, and official program contacts are provided in the formal Federal Register notice, which serves as the authoritative source for application rules and expectations. The opportunity record indicates it was created on June 9, 2017, with an original closing date of July 24, 2017, and it anticipated making approximately six awards (with the award ceiling not specified in the provided summary).Apply for ED GRANTS 060917 001
