Due to the overwhelming response we have received, applications to this funding
opportunity will close at 11:59 pm EST on December 31, 2020. Beginning in
January we will complete our reviews of submitted projects and assess to
determine if enough funds remain to allow us to reopen the opportunity later in

REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS

COVID-19 REMOTE LEARNING EMERGENCY FUND FOR EDUCATORS

The National Geographic Society recognizes that educators, who are among the
many dedicated individuals on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic, are
pioneering new ways of teaching so that students can continue learning.

As educators, you are doing much more than simply adapting your approach in a
socially distant and remote learning world. You are pushing boundaries, testing
new skills, and advancing learning in profoundly new ways. You’re discovering
new solutions to enrich your teaching and help students understand the
significance of the moments they are currently living through.

For 132 years, National Geographic has supported innovators and changemakers who
have pushed the limits of what is to what could be. The Society has launched an
emergency fund for innovative educators who are designing instructional
resources — whether in the classroom, teaching remotely, or a combination of the
two.

The fund will distribute support ranging from US $1,000–$8,000 to individual
educators (or to an individual educator working in collaboration with other
educators or National Geographic Explorers) to design instructional resources
that help educators effectively teach in in-person, remote, or hybrid learning
environments during this pandemic. Priority for this opportunity will be given
to educators working in communities that have been particularly hard hit by the
pandemic, and who have not previously received National Geographic funding. Your
work must do at least one of the following:

DETAILS

* Use the power of science, social studies, and/or geography to help students
understand the challenges and impacts of pandemics such as COVID-19
* Use the power of science, social studies, and/or geography to help educators
teach social and/or environmental justice
* Adapt one of National Geographic’s science or social studies units for
elementary, middle, or high school audiences (refer to our online Resource
Library) to address your curricular needs and for use in a hybrid learning
environment and develop a teacher’s guide accordingly
* Draw on the concepts and pedagogy in the National Geographic Learning
Framework or the National Geographic Geo-Inquiry Process to design
instructional resources or projects that meet the goals of this opportunity
* Design innovative methodologies and practices for science, social studies,
and/or geography teaching and learning in a hybrid environment
* Design innovative ways to bring the world to students and help them bridge
their personal experiences to a more global perspective on critical issues
(e.g., pandemics, social or environmental justice, racial justice,
sustainability, climate)

The resources developed via this funding must be scalable across different
schools and communities and will be made accessible to all educators through the
National Geographic Society website.

Applicants may use up to 100 percent of their budget as compensation for the
time they devote to the proposed project, as well as the time of any
co-creators. All application materials must be in English. Upon approval,
immediate start dates are acceptable. Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling
basis. Applications may be submitted until further notice. We will strive to
send out decisions every two weeks, but the volume of submissions might slow
that process at times.

Please see our Application Guidance document for more details.

To provide additional guidance during the application process, we are offering
weekly virtual Design Labs for you to talk directly with peers and National
Geographic Society staff for ideation, inspiration, and technical support.
Design Labs will be 90 minutes and capped at 30 participants per session to
allow for conversation and breakout rooms led by expert educators. We will
provide an overview of the grant, share tips and resources, answer questions,
and engage in conversation to help you think through your ideas, next steps, and
how you can be successful in this process. These sessions will not be recorded.

If interested, please submit this form and we will send you an invitation to
register for an upcoming open Design Lab session that fits your schedule.
