Opportunity Information: Apply for NEAPS1903
The NEA Sound Health Network, FY2020 (Funding Opportunity Number NEAPS1903; CFDA 45.024) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the National Endowment for the Arts offered through a cooperative agreement. The project supported under this solicitation is intended to advance the Sound Health program, which focuses on improving public understanding of how music relates to wellness. In practical terms, the program is centered on communicating and exploring how music is processed in the brain, how musical experiences can influence development and learning, and how music can be used therapeutically for particular health conditions. Sound Health itself began in 2016 as a formal partnership between the National Institutes of Health and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, working in association with the National Endowment for the Arts, with these entities collectively referred to as the Partnership.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to have a more active role than in a standard grant, typically involving collaboration, coordination, or substantial involvement during the period of performance. The funded project could begin no earlier than July 1, 2020, and the total period of performance could run for up to 18 months. The opportunity sets a maximum (ceiling) award amount of $300,000. Only one proposal may be submitted per organization under this solicitation, so applicants needed to consolidate their idea into a single, strongest submission rather than multiple separate proposals.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit sectors and includes state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions under that specific nonprofit category). The original application deadline (closing date) for this FY2020 opportunity was November 19, 2019, and the notice was created on August 14, 2019.Apply for NEAPS1903
